Japan's JERA looking to build 2 LNG power plants, scrap 5 aging units
Japanese power generator JERA announced it has begun an environmental assessment on building two 650 megawatt (MW) LNG power plants at its Chita thermal station in central Japan, and plans to scrap five aging plants. The company has not made a final investment decision, but it is considering building 650 MW No.7 and No.8 plants, with gross thermal efficiency of about 63% - one of the highest levels anywhere in the world - to help reduce CO2 emissions, a JERA spokesman said. If they go ahead, the two units would start operations in August and December 2027 respectively, he said.
