Hirono Power Station (広野火力発電所 Hirono karyokuhatsudensho?) is an fossil-fuel power station located about 3 km north of Hirono, Fukushima, Japan.
The plant has an installed capacity of 4,400 MW. Power is generated by three 600 MW units, and two 1,000 MW units. Units 1 to 4 run on fuel oil and crude oil,[1] whereas unit 5 (600 MW) runs on coal.[2] A new 600 MW coal-fired unit, Unit 6, commenced commercial operation in December, 2013.[3]
The power plant located directly at the Pacific Ocean was damaged by the 2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami.[4] Tepco managed to returned the first block to operation in July 2011.[5]
