History
The first generating unit of the power station was commissioned in January 1983.[1] All of the six generating units of the power plant were completed in 1991.[2] In late 1990s, the power station began its overhaul project which were divided into two phases. The first phase which started in 1998 and completed in 2001, saw the revamping of its boiler no. 1 until boiler no. 4. The second phase which started in 2001 and completed in 2007, saw the revamping of its boiler no. 5 until boiler no. 8.[3]
On 8 February 2017, the power station also received two emission analyzers from the Japan International Cooperation Agency to measure smoke and pollutants with a total cost of JPY37.6 million.[4] On 13 September 2017, a fire broke out at one of the plant's transformer. The fire was quickly extinguished by 50 firefighters from five units.[5]
