Renova’s Omaezakikou Biomass Plant Starts Up After Delay
Following a delay of roughly a year, the Renova Omaezakikou Biomass Power Plant in Omaezaki City, Shizuoka Prefecture, Japan started up at the end of January after taking time to make technical adjustments. The 75 MW facility is fueled by wood pellets and palm kernel shells. The plant, Omaezakikou Biomass Energy G.K., is jointly funded by Renova, Chubu Electric Power Co., Inc., Mitsubishi Electric Financial Solutions Corp. and Suzuyo Shoji Co., Ltd.
The area is a major transportation and logistics hub. Located at the Port of Omaezaki in the southernmost part of Shizuoka Prefecture at the mouth of Suruga Bay, the Renova Omaezakikou Biomass Power Plant is expected to boost the local economy by helping increase harbor and port activity and also by providing a source of renewable power.
