History

The Chita Daini Thermal Power Station began operations LNG-fired power plant operated by Chubu Electric in September 1983. From 1994-1996, both units were converted into a combined cycle power generation system with the addition of an additional gas turbine to use the waste heat of the steam turbine. The existing steam power generation facility can be operated independently even when the gas turbine power generation facility is stopped. The steam turbines were supplied by Toshiba as was the gas turbine for Unit 2. The gas turbine for Unit 1 was supplied by Hitachi.

In April 2019, the operations of Chubu Electric Power were transferred to JERA, a joint venture between Chubu Electric and TEPCO Fuel & Power, Inc, a subsidiary of Tokyo Electric Power Company.
