She is responsible for the area of the Ryūkyū Islands of Okinawa Prefecture . There are around 150 larger and smaller islands, 39 of which are inhabited. This means a major logistical problem, as the islands are scattered over a huge area of 1000 km by 400 km and a cable connection - as security - to the mainland therefore cannot exist.
Since 2006, the power plant output has almost doubled and switched from coal to oil firing. Only the Gushikawa and Kin power plants still need coal, but they account for 21% of total production. The remainder is fueled by LNG and kerosene. In fact, wind turbines do not play a role.
