Shiraoi Mill Co-fired Biomass power station may be a 74-megawatt (MW) coal-fired and biomass-fired power station in Shiraoi, Hokkaido, Japan.

Shiraoi factory reportedly has 5 turbines and 122 MW in total, but no detailed information is available about the units. Governmental data indicates Nippon Paper owns 7 coal-fired power plants with 860.450 GW in total.

Given the lack of available information related to this site, the capacity is not included in Global Energy Monitor's Global Coal Plant Tracker.
