Kashima Power Station

Kashima Power Station (鹿島火力発電所, Kashima karyokuhatsudensho) is a large oil-fired and gas-fired power station in Kamisu, Ibaraki, Japan. The facility operates with an installed capacity of 5,660 MW, making it one of the largest fossil-fueled power station in the world. The plant includes four oil-fired steam turbines rated at 600 MW, two oil-fired steam turbines rated at 1,000 MW, and three advanced combined cycle gas turbines rated at 420 MW added in 2014. As of April 2016, the four oil-fired 600 MW turbines have been suspended indefinitely. The plant features 3 lattice stacks, including the tallest steel chimney in the world at 231m (758 ft). In March 2023, JERA announced plans to decommission all six oil-fired steam turbines (Unit 5 & Unit 6 had been shut down since 2020).
