The Sendai Port Biomass Power Plant has begun commercial operations in Miyagi Prefecture, ranking among Japan’s largest dedicated biomass power facilities with an output of 112 MW. The plant is expected to generate approximately 800,000 MWh of electricity annually, enough to supply roughly 260,000 households. The project is operated by Sendai-ko Biomass Power GK, a joint venture funded by Sumitomo Corp., Tokyo Gas, Hokuriku Electric Power Co., and Sumitomo Corp. Tohoku.

The plant commenced operations following the completion of its construction in November 2025.

The facility will use wood-based biomass fuels, such as pellets and chips, sourced from certified forests to provide a stable supply of renewable energy to the Tohoku region. Sumitomo will oversee fuel procurement to ensure traceability and the proper utilization of forest resources.
