Maeda-Ofunato co-fired power station was a proposed 112-megawatt (MW) biomass- and coal-fired power station in Tohoku region, Japan.
In June 2017, Maeda Corporation announced that the proposal was switching from coal-biomass mix-fuel to biomass mono-fuel combustion.

Background on Plant
In November 2014, Maeda Corporation announced plans for a 112 MW-plus biomass power station that would be co-fired with wood chips and coal. The projected cost was 30 billion yen. It was planned for the Tohoku region.[1][2]
In June 2017, Maeda announced that the plant would switch from coal-biomass mix-fuel to biomass mono-fuel combustion. Maeda attributed the switch to the rapid increase in the number of planned coal-fired plants in the country and “reconsideration of the plan to reduce environmental impact under current Japanese energy conditions”.[3]
