Japan's ENEOS to Convert Refinery to Solar Plant

Researched by Industrial Info Resources (Sugar Land, Texas)--ENEOS Corporation is permanently closing the refining units at its Wakayama Refinery in Arida, Japan, in October 2023, due to aging equipment, poor profits and high maintenance costs.

ENEOS plans to convert the facility to an 8.5-megawatt (MW) solar power plant to meet its sustainable development goals. The Wakayama Refinery began operations in 1941 and was ENEOS' oldest facility.
