Shikoku Electric Power Company,Incorporated [9507.T]
TOKYO, Apr 14 (Pulse News Wire) – Shikoku Electric Power Company,incorporated (9507.T) announced plans to decommission two power units: Unit 3 at Anan Power Station and Unit 3 at Sakai Power Station. Unit 3 at Anan Power Station, which has been idle since January due to aging equipment and reduced operational opportunities, will be officially decommissioned by June 2026.
The unit, located in Ainan City, Tokushima Prefecture, has a rated capacity of 450,000 kW and uses oil as fuel. Additionally, Unit 3 at Sakai Power Station, situated in Sakai City, Kagawa Prefecture, will also face decommissioning. Currently operational, this unit has contributed significantly to stable electricity supply since its launch in April 1973.
However, due to the cessation of coke oven gas supply from an adjacent factory in the latter half of fiscal year 2027, coupled with aging infrastructure and decreased necessity, the unit will be decommissioned around the same time. Both units have operated for more than five decades, receiving substantial support from local communities and stakeholders. Despite the decommissioning, Shikoku Electric remains committed to ensuring reliable power supply.
The impact on the company's performance is expected to be minor.
