Background
The 112 MW coal-fired power station is proposed by Orix Corporation for the city of Kitakyushu. The planned commissioning date is 2018.[2] The plant would burn a mix of coal and waste wood.[3]
The EIA is under local assessment and has been approved.[4]
Financing for the plant was closed in January 2016. The cost of the plant was evenly split between Orix Corporation and Hokuzai Transport.[1]
Construction began in 2016. As of 2016, the plant was planned for operation in 2019-2020.[5]
According to the Kiko Network and Orix, the plant entered commercial operations in December 2018.[6]
In October 2020 a fire caused the plant to be shut down temporarily.[7]
