Gobō Thermal Power Plant
is a fossil-fuel power station  operated by Kansai Electric in the city of Gobō, Wakayama, Japan. It located on the Pacific coast. History
The Gobō Thermal Power Station was the first to be built in Japan on an artificial island in the Pacific Ocean. It came on line in September 1984 with Unit 1, followed by Unit 2 in November 1984, and Unit 3 in March 1985. The initial installed capacity was 1800 MW; however, since its fuel sources are heavy oil or crude oil, operations were severely impacted by rising crude oil prices and its operational rate has been low. Operations on Unit 2 were suspended in April 2019 due to low demand and high costs. Plant details
