{{Nihongo|Atsumi Thermal Power Station|渥美火力発電所|Atsumi Karyoku Hatsudensho}} is an oil-fired thermal power station operated by JERA in the city of Tahara, Aichi, Japan. The facility is located on reclaimed land at the tip of the Atsumi Peninsula at the entrance to Mikawa Bay.
History
The Atsumi Thermal Power Station was built by Chubu Electric and first came on line in 1971. A total of four generating units were completed, two in 1971 and two in 1982. Unit 1 was taken offline and mothballed in 2001 and Unit 2 was taken offline in 2004. Due to high oil prices and the cost of modernization, Unit 2 was scrapped in 2004. Unit 1 was likewise scrapped by the end of 2017. Units 3 and 4 remain in operation, but are running at very low capacity (under 25%) due to sluggish demand for electricity and lower-cost alternative sources.[http://www.chuden.co.jp/corpo/publicity/press2004/0331_1.html 渥美火力発電所2号機の廃止について] 2004年3月31日 中部電力株式会社[http://www.chuden.co.jp/corporate/publicity/pub_release/press/3263625_21432.html 平成29年度電力供給計画の概要について] 2017年3月24日 中部電力株式会社[http://www.chuden.co.jp/corporate/publicity/pub_release/press/3266644_21432.html 渥美火力発電所1号機および四日市火力発電所1号機、2号機の廃止について] 2017年12月26日 中部電力株式会社
