Construction Plan for Abekawa Hydroelectric Power Station

Chubu Electric Power is proud to announce its decision to construct the Abekawa Hydroelectric Power Station that harnesses the streams of Abekawa River, belonging to the Abekawa River system.

The Abekawa Hydroelectric Power Station is a run-of-the-river power station with a generation capacity of 7,100 kW. Chubu Electric Power plans to start constructions in FY2019 and commence the power station's operation in FY2022.

While embracing an eco-conscious mindset, Chubu Electric Power will develop the station under the understanding and cooperation of local authorities, residents, and other relevant parties.

The company is actively engaging in the development of renewable energy with sights set toward contributing to achieving improved energy self-sufficiency rates and reducing greenhouse gas.

Hydropower generation, in particular, has the potential of providing stable electric power generation. Chubu Electric Power will thus maintain efforts to develop both conventional and regular water-flow release hydroelectric power stations.

Chubu Electric Power will also systematically improve existing hydroelectric power station facilities to boost both output and electric power generation.
