Background
The power station is owned by Tokuyama and the Shunan Power corporation, and is located in Shū, Yamaguchi, Chūgoku Prefecture, Japan.[2] 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.[3][4]
According to the Kiko Network, the power station's new unit entered construction in 2018 and was scheduled to go online in 2022. [5]Though Unit 3 was slated to come online in April 2022, there was no news on its operation in June 2022.[6]
In September 2022, Unit 3 entered commercial operation. The unit was run by Shunan Power Corporation, which changed its name from TKE3.[7]
