Background

The Ishikawa power station comprises two 156 MW units which were commissioned in November 1986 and March 1987 respectively. It is owned and operated by J-POWER, the trading name for the Electric Power Development Co.

In November 2020, J-POWER announced that it would retire most of its older, most inefficient coal-fired plants by 2030, which could include Ishikawa.
