With a mission of creating green and sustainable energy systems, RENOVA operates its power generation business based on locally entrenched renewable energy resources such as solar, biomass, wind and geothermal power. Aside from Omaezakikou Biomass, RENOVA’s biomass power generation portfolio includes the Akita Biomass power generation facility, which has completed construction and is currently operating smoothly, and the Kanda and Tokushima Tsuda Biomass power generation facilities, which are under construction. RENOVA is committed to developing and managing power plants dedicated to burning wood biomass.
Omaezakikou Biomass, which has begun construction, is a biomass power plant dedicated to wood burning with a generation capacity of 74.95 MW in Omaezaki City and Makinohara City, Shizuoka Prefecture. Development is underway with three co-sponsors: Chubu Electric Power, Suzuyo Shoji, and Mitsubishi Electric Credit.
Operations are planned to commence in July 2023, and the intention is to contribute to the revitalization of local society and the economy around Omaezaki City and Makinohara City. This partnership with local communities will generate new job opportunities through the construction of the power plant and the subsequent business management, benefiting the entire region.
