Hekinantantopia Electric Power Museum to Reopen as JERA Museum Hekinan2024/03/19

On Saturday, 23 March 2024, JERA will reopen its Electric Power Museum in Hekinantantopia, a community facility adjacent to the Hekinan Thermal Power Station, as JERA Museum Hekinan

 

This is the facility’s second major renovation since it opened in 1992, and the first in 22 years, and encompasses a complete renewal of the exhibits in conjunction with the start this month of demonstration testing that will substitute 20% of the power station’s fuel with ammonia. Until now, the museum has been a facility where visitors could learn about the mechanism of coal-fired power generation at Hekinan Thermal Power Station and how the process takes the environment into consideration. The renewed facility invites visitors on a journey through JERA’s Zero CO2 Emissions 2050 initiatives, which aim to achieve zero CO2 emissions by 2050, and enables both children and adults to have fun while learning about our business.

 

In conjunction with the reopening, the names of each Hekinantantopia facility have been changed as follows:

Former Name

New Name

Hekinantantopia

JERA Park Hekinan

Electric Power Museum

JERA Museum Hekinan

Healing Garden

JERA Garden Hekinan

Eco Park

JERA Forest Hekinan

 

Through this facility, we will continue to interact with the local community and communicate our zero-emissions thermal power initiatives.
