• Coal source(s): imported

Background

Maizuru is a 2 x 900 MW supercritical coal plant in Kyoto. Unit 1 began operating in 2004, and unit 2 in 2010. Coal is imported at an attached port.

In March 2023, Unit 2 of the power station, which co-fired with biomass, caught fire and remained offline for five days. Unit 1 was already offline for scheduled maintenance.
