Background on existing plant
The Nagoya power station is a 149 MW coal-fired power plant in Taketoyo that has been in operation since 2000, and a 110 MW co-fired plant that began operations in September 2017.[4][5]
In February 2026, Osaka Gas, Daigas Gas and Power Solution, and Nakayama Nagoya Joint Power Generation announced that Nakayama Nagoya Joint Power Generation had decided to decommission the 149 MW Nagoya Power Plant by the end of March 2027. The announcement identified the plant as one of the company's two coal and biomass co-firing power plants, with commercial operations beginning in April 2000, indicating that the decision applied to Unit 1 rather than the 110 MW Unit 2, which began operating in 2017.[6]
Unit 2
In October 2016 Nakayama Nagoya and Osaka Gas proposed a new 110 MW unit at the plant that would be co-fired with biomass.[7][8][9]
In September 2017 Unit 2 was completed and began commercial operations.[5]
