The Ukishima Solar Power Plant (Japanese : 浮島太陽光発電所) is a 7 MW solar photovoltaic power station located on the waterfront in Kawasaki. It is the first solar plant built by Tepco, and was completed on August 10, 2011. In the first year of operation, it produced 9,453 MWh, a capacity factor of 0.15, [1] which was about 30% greater than anticipated. [2] An unusual feature of the plant is that the panels are mounted at a fixed angle of 10°, instead of the 30°, which would normally be considered optimal for this latitude. [3]

The Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant is a disabled nuclear power plant located on a 3.5-square-kilometre (860-acre) site in the towns of Ōkuma and Futaba in Fukushima Prefecture, Japan. The plant suffered major damage from the magnitude 9.1 earthquake and tsunami that hit Japan on March 11, 2011. The chain of events caused radiation leaks and permanently damaged several of its reactors, making them impossible to restart. The working reactors were not restarted after the events.
The Fukushima Daini Nuclear Power Plant Genshiryoku Hatsudensho, Fukushima II NPP, 2F) is a nuclear power plant located on a 150 ha (370-acre) site in the town of Naraha and Tomioka in the Futaba District of Fukushima Prefecture, Japan. The Tokyo Electric Power Company (TEPCO) runs the plant.
The Kashiwazaki-Kariwa Nuclear Power Plant is a large, modern nuclear power plant on a 4.2-square-kilometer (1,000-acre) site. The campus spans the towns of Kashiwazaki and Kariwa in Niigata Prefecture, Japan, on the coast of the Sea of Japan, where it gets cooling water. The plant is owned and operated by Tokyo Electric Power Company (TEPCO), and it is the largest nuclear generating station in the world by net electrical power rating.
Shinagawa Seaside Station is a railway station on the Rinkai Line in Shinagawa, Tokyo, Japan, operated by the third-sector railway operating company Tokyo Waterfront Area Rapid Transit (TWR).
Kawasaki-Gashi Freight Terminal was a freight railway station of Japanese National Railways located in Saiwai-ku, Kawasaki, Kanagawa, Japan. The freight terminal was the end of a 1.7-kilometer branchline of the Nambu Line from Yakō Station.
Hirono Thermal Power Station is a fossil-fuel power station operated by JERA in the town of Hirono, Fukushima, Japan. It located on the Pacific coast and is currently the seventh largest thermal power station in Japan.
Todoroki Ryokuchi (等々力緑地) is a park located in Nakahara-ku ward, Kawasaki, in Kanagawa Prefecture, Japan. It is famous for its sport facilities including an athletics stadium, gym, a baseball field, a pool, a tennis court, and it contains a museum as well.
The Fukushima nuclear accident was a major nuclear accident at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant in Ōkuma, Fukushima, Japan which began on 11 March 2011. The proximate cause of the accident was the 2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami, which resulted in electrical grid failure and damaged nearly all of the power plant's backup energy sources. The subsequent inability to sufficiently cool reactors after shutdown compromised containment and resulted in the release of radioactive contaminants into the surrounding environment. The accident was rated seven on the INES by NISA, following a report by the JNES. It is regarded as the worst nuclear incident since the Chernobyl disaster in 1986, which was also rated a seven on the INES.
Fukushima Daiichi is a multi-reactor nuclear power site in the Fukushima Prefecture of Japan. A nuclear disaster occurred there after a 9.0 magnitude earthquake and subsequent tsunami on 11 March 2011. The earthquake triggered a scram shut down of the three active reactors, and the ensuing tsunami crippled the site, stopped the backup diesel generators, and caused a station blackout. The subsequent lack of cooling led to explosions and meltdowns, with problems at three of the six reactors and in one of the six spent-fuel pools.
The Kazunogawa Pumped Storage Power Station is a pumped-storage hydroelectric power station near Kōshū in Yamanashi Prefecture, Japan. The station is designed to have an installed capacity of 1,600 megawatts (2,100,000 hp) and three of the four 400 megawatts (540,000 hp) generators are currently operational, for a total operational capacity of 1200 MW. Construction on the power station began in 1993 and the first generator was commissioned on 3 December 1999. The second was commissioned on 8 June 2000. The third one became operational on 9 June 2014, six year early due to post-power demand from the Great East Japan earthquake. The fourth and final generator is slated to be commissioned by 2024. It is owned by TEPCO and was constructed at a cost of US$2.2 billion.
The International Nuclear Energy Development of Japan Co., Ltd (JINED), headquartered in Tokyo, is a consortium of thirteen Japanese companies, with the prime purpose of "proposal and research activities for nuclear power plant project orders in emerging countries".
The Komekurayama Solar Power Plant (米倉山太陽光発電所) is a 10 megawatt (MW) solar photovoltaic power station located at Mt. Komekura. It is the third solar plant built by Tepco, and was completed on January 27, 2012. In the first year of operation, it produced 14,434 MWh, which was about 20% greater than anticipated.
The Ogishima Solar Power Plant (扇島太陽光発電所) is a 13 MW solar photovoltaic power station located on the waterfront in Kawasaki. It is the second, and the largest solar plant built by Tepco, and was completed on December 19, 2011. In the first year of operation, it produced 15,059 MWh, a capacity factor of 0.13, which was about 10% greater than anticipated. An unusual feature of the plant is that the panels are mounted at a fixed angle of 10°, instead of the 30°, which would normally be considered optimal for this latitude.
The Shiobara Pumped Storage Power Station (塩原発電所) is a pumped-storage hydroelectric power station in Nasushiobara, in the Tochigi Prefecture of Japan. It has a total installed capacity of 900 megawatts (1,200,000 hp). The power plant started operation in 1994.
