Yamaguchi-Ube Power Generation Co., Ltd. had promoted Nishiokinoyama Power Plant (tentative name) installation plan from 2015 at Ube Industries, Ltd. site in Nishiokinoyama, Ube city, Yamaguchi prefecture, Japan.

However, in the western Japan area where this plant would be located, electricity demand is expected to remain flat and the introduction of renewable energy is expanding. As a result of comprehensive judgment based on the business environment including these factors, the company has decided to cancel this plan.
