Retirement of Anan Power Station Unit 3 and Sakaide Power Station Unit 3
Shikoku Electric Power Company,Incorporated
Anan Power Station Unit 3 (Anan, Tokushima Prefecture; 450,000 kW; oil-fired) and Sakaide Power Station Unit 3 (Sakaide, Kagawa Prefecture; 450,000 kW; oil- and coke-oven-gas-fired)
Anan Unit 3 is not expected to be used going forward due to the aging of its facilities and fewer operating opportunities. The factors affecting Sakaide Unit 3 are the cessation of coke oven gas supplies from the adjacent plant, the need to convert to oil-only firing, the aging of its facilities, and the lower need from a supply-demand perspective.
The impact on earnings from this retirement decision is expected to be minor.
Company response
Power generation operations at Anan Power Station Unit 3 (suspended since January 2026)
The necessary procedures will be undertaken to retire Anan Unit 3 around June 2026. Sakaide Unit 3 is scheduled to be retired around the second half of fiscal 2027, in line with the cessation of coke oven gas supplies. Every effort will continue to be made to ensure a stable supply of electricity.
