At the Kyushu Electric Power shareholders’ meeting in Fukuoka, all 18 proposals, including those calling for the decommissioning of Genkai and Sendai nuclear power plants, were rejected. Around 250 shareholders attended, with discussions including the extension of Sendai’s Unit 1 operation. President Kazuhiro Ikebe reassured the commitment to improved safety and the necessity of nuclear energy alongside renewables to achieve carbon neutrality. Despite these discussions, the proposals were overwhelmingly defeated. Source: NHK
