Decommissioning Atsumi Thermal Power Station Units 3 and 42026/03/31

JERA Co., Inc. today announced that it has decommissioned Atsumi Thermal Power Station Units 3 and 4 (total 1,400MW), completing the decommissioning of all power generation facilities at the station.

Since Unit 1 began commercial operation in June 1971, Atsumi Thermal Power Station, with the understanding and cooperation of the local community, has sustained the stable supply of electricity to the Chubu region for many years.

The newly decommissioned power generation facilities are aging units whose degradation made them difficult to restart. (Under long-term planned shutdowns, they have not been counted as generating capacity in terms of the electricity supply-and-demand balance.) Because their decommissioning accounts for our progress with new installations and replacements, it has no impact on electricity supply stability.

With the understanding and cooperation of local communities and other stakeholders, we will continue working to ensure a stable supply of electricity in Japan and to achieve a decarbonized society.
