Taihei Dengyo Kaisha will build a 2MW biomass power plant in Murakami City, Niigata Prefecture, the company announced on September 5, 2025.
According to the statement, it expects to begin construction around March 2026, with commissioning scheduled for the end of 2027. The company plans to invest 3 billion yen in the project. The power plant, to be owned by its wholly-owned subsidiary Murakami Green Power LLC, is expected to generate about 13GWh annually using woody biomass.
The project follows a partnership on sustainable community development signed between Taihei Dengyo and Murakami City in 2024.
The company commissioned its first biomass power plant, the 7.1MW Seifu-Shinto in Hiroshima City operated under the feed-in-tariff (FIT) scheme, in October 2019. In June 2022, it expanded the asset with a carbon capture device.
Taihei Dengyo, a TSE Prime-listed plant construction company, also holds a 12% stake in Chubu Electric Power-led 52.7MW Fukuyama Biomass Power Plant, which was commissioned at the end of July 2025.
