According to Renova, the facility located in the Port of Tokushima-Komatsushima, one of the largest lumber industrial parks in Japan. The Port of Tokushima-Komatsushima used to receive a large amount of foreign timber to meet the rapidly growing domestic demand for housing during the period of high economic growth, but over time, the port has been used less and less. With the start of the plant's operation, the port is expected to be revitalized through the utilization of port facilities for the arrival and departure of fuel transport vessels and the creation of new jobs that will result.
The Tokushima Tsuda Biomass Power Plant is one of several biomass power plants developed by Renova. In November, the company announced its 75-MW Morinomiyako Biomass Power Plant had begun operations. Additional Renova biomass plants that are currently operational include the 20.5 MW Akita Biomass facility and the 75 MW Kanda Biomass plant. Biomass plants currently under construction include the 75 MW Ishinomaki Hibarino Biomass plant, the 75 MW Omaezakikou Biomass plant, and the 49.9 MW Karatsu Biomass facility.
