Japanese wholesale power supplier J Power said it restarted the 600 megawatt No 1 unit at its Isogo plant on Monday, almost two months after the plant was hit by a fire.

The company, formally known as Electric Power Development Co, shut the coal fired 1,200 MW Isogo plant in Yokohama, near Tokyo, on Nov. 24 after a fire started on a coal conveyor belt.

The 600 MW No.2 unit was restarted last Thursday.
