Tokyo Gas study
June 15 (LNGJ) - Tokyo Gas, the leading Japanese utility, city-gas company and LNG importer, is continuing with a feasibility study for a gas-fired thermal power plant using regasified LNG in Sodegaura City in Chiba Prefecture. The plant would be constructed at an unused industrial site owned by Idemitsu Kosan, Japan’s petroleum refining company.
The study had originally been with another utility, Kyushu Electric Power, but Kyushu has since pulled out. “However, Tokyo Gas intends to continue the feasibility study going forward,” said the utility.
