Hachinohe Taiheiyo is a 125.2 MW oil-fired power plant located in Japan, operated by TAIHEIYO (PACIFIC) METALS. The facility generates electricity using oil as its primary fuel source, contributing to Japan's oil generation capacity. It ranks as the 26th largest oil plant in Japan. With a capacity of 125.2 MW, it represents 0.26% of the country's total oil capacity of 47,899 MW. Japan has 27 oil plants with a combined capacity of 47,899 MW. Compared to the largest oil plant, Kashima at 4,400 MW, Hachinohe Taiheiyo is about 1/35th its size. Oil has a diminishing role in Japan's energy mix, accounting for about 13% of electricity generation. The Hachinohe Taiheiyo plant supports local energy needs while Japan transitions towards renewable energy sources. It is located in Aomori Prefecture, approximately 400 km north of Tokyo.
