solar thermal or solar panel? There are many ways to make electricity. Given the former plant as coal I'll guess solar thermal as it's easy to determine the megawatt and the steam turbines are already on site. We need to accept a broader definition of the energy source in news items like this one though.

Japan is great for local energy; hot springs, island nation surrounded by water, mountains for pump storage. Lots of easy options that don't pollute with lots of engineers to figure it out

Does Japan have geothermal plants? It seems like a much more obvious way to generate green power without the expense of solar electric panels. :-7
