Background on Plant
In 2013 Tokyo Electric Power Company (TEPCO) said it is considering partnering with Mitsubishi for an integrated gasification combined cycle (IGCC) coal-fired power station that could arise near the site of the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant damaged in the 2011 earthquake. The station would consist of two 500 MW coal-fired plants. Tokyo Electric Power Company (Tepco) will operate the Mitsubishi-owned power plant that could be connected to the grid by 2020.
