Kyuden Mirai Power, a subsidiary of Kyushu Electrical Energy, will begin building on the 5-MW Kirishima geothermal energy plant in Kagoshima, Japan this yr.
Kyushu Electrical Energy, via subsidiary Kyuden Mirai Power, has introduced that it’ll construct a 4990-kW geothermal energy plant in Kirishima Metropolis in Kagoshima Prefecture, Japan. Development will start by September this yr and the ability plant is anticipated to begin industrial operations by the top of the 2026 fiscal yr.
The Kirishima Eboshi-dake geothermal energy plant might be utilizing binary energy plant expertise. It will likely be constructed north-east of Mount Eboshi in Kirishima Metropolis. Two manufacturing wells and two reinjection wells (one as backup) might be used for the operations of the ability.
Preparations for the Kirishima geothermal energy venture had already been initiated again in mid-2022. After greater than two years, an announcement on the beginning of building is a welcome growth for the venture.
The longer term geothermal energy plant is anticipated to have an annual output of 32 million kWh, or equal to the ability necessities of greater than 10,000 common households. Kyuden believes that there’s extra potential for geothermal power utilization within the Kagoshima Prefecture.
“I believe Kagoshima nonetheless has geothermal potential, and I believe it’s an surroundings the place renewable power might be expanded, so I hope that this might be a tailwind for that,” stated Yuji Hamada, Geothermal Planning Division Supervisor at Kyuden Mirai Power.
