Background

The J-POWER Tachibana-wan power station comprises two 1050 MW units, which were commissioned in July 2000 and December 2000, respectively. It is owned and operated by J-POWER, the trading name for the Electric Power Development Co.[1]

In March 2024, operation of Unit 1 was suspended due to a crack found in a steam pipe.[2]

In May 2024, J-POWER stated that Tachibana-wan power station would begin co-firing with ammonia by the end of FY2030.[3]
