Osaki CoolGen Project166 MW Coal

Coal

The Osaki CoolGen Project, with its 166 MW capacity, is ranked 222nd among Japan's power generation facilities. Commissioned in 2017, it represents a newer generation of coal plants that incorporate advanced technologies aimed at reducing environmental impact. Despite its modest size, contributing just 0.05% to Japan's extensive total capacity of 357,453 MW, the facility is part of a broader initiative to innovate within the coal sector and support energy reliability in a predominantly nuclear landscape.
