Background
The coal-fired power station was proposed by Chugoku Power Company and Air Water Corporation.[1]
Description of Expansion
According to a September 2014 press release by Chugoku Electric, the plant involved a 112 MW and would be co-fired with biomass and coal.[2] The power station was planned for operation in 2018-2019.[3][4]
Construction was scheduled to start in June 2017, and commercial operation in June 2019.[5] According to the Kiko Network, the plant became operational on July 22, 2019.[6]
