Background
The power station is operated by J-POWER in Nagasaki Prefecture, Japan and its two units were started up in 1990 and 1997.[2] It is not to be confused with the adjacent 1,700 MW Matsuura Kyushu power station (九州電力 松浦発電所).
In May 2024, J-POWER stated that Unit 1 of the power station would either be retired or placed on reserve by the end of FY2030.[3] Unit 2 would be transitioned to run on ammonia and would utilize carbon capture and storage technology.[4]
