Toshiba Energy Systems & Solutions Corporation's consolidated subsidiary, SIGMA POWER Ariake Corporation (SPAC), has started the construction of a biomass power plant in Omuta City, Fukuoka Prefecture.
The power plant will be built as the Omuta No.1/No.2 Power Plant next to the Mikawa Power Plant, which is already being operated by SPAC in Omuta City. All preparation work has gone smoothly, so the plant will start operation in autumn 2021, which is earlier than expected. When the plant starts operation, the output will be 22.1 MW for each of the plants in Omuta City.
