Background

The power station is owned by Tokuyama and the Shunan Power corporation, and is located in Shū, Yamaguchi, Chūgoku Prefecture, Japan. It is located by the Tokuyama Central power station.

The power station includes a 300 MW coal- and biomass-fired power station. The proposal was also known as Tokuyama East Power Generation No. 3.

According to the Kiko Network, the power station's new unit entered construction in 2018 and was scheduled to go online in 2022. Though Unit 3 was slated to come online in April 2022, there was no news on its operation in June 2022.

In September 2022, Unit 3 entered commercial operation. The unit was run by Shunan Power Corporation, which changed its name from TKE3.
