Ohgishima Power Co., Ltd. (President: Takashi Matsumoto;
hereafter "Ohgishima Power") - a subsidiary of
Tokyo Gas Co., Ltd. (President: Tsuyoshi Okamoto; hereafter
"Tokyo Gas") and Showa Shell Sekiyu K.K.
(President: Jun Arai; hereafter "Showa Shell") -
has decided today to construct the Ohgishima Power Station
Unit 3.
Ohgishima Power Station supplies electric power fueled by
natural gas, a clean and environmentally friendly energy
source, and adopts an energy conserving gas turbine combined
cycle. The operation started in March, 2010 for the Unit 1,
and in July, 2010 for the Unit 2, with the combined
generation capacity of approximately 814 MW.
In order to make a contribution on easing electricity supply
and demand tightness by stable and efficient supply of
electricity, Ohgishima Power is aiming to start construction
work in November, 2012, and to commence operations in fiscal
2015 of the Ohgishima Power Station Unit 3, of which the
environmental impact assessment procedures have already been
completed. The Unit 3 is designed to have a maximum
efficiency of approximately 58% (lower heating value basis,
generating end) and a generating capacity of approximately
407 MW. The total capacity of Ohgishima Power Station will be
approximately 1,221 MW with the commencement of the Unit
3.
Tokyo Gas has already announced "Challenge 2020
Vision", where it will expand its domestic power
generation capacity to 3,000 to 5,000 MW by 2020, including
the other companies' share, and the construction of the
Ohgishima Power Station Unit 3 is a part of the initiatives
to achieve that goal.
Showa Shell Group will further reinforce the power business,
which was launched with approximately 200MW generation
capacity as Independent Power Producer (IPP) , by
constructing the Ohgishima Power Station Unit 3, and make it
a comparable pillar to the solar business in the energy
solution business segment.
Tokyo Gas and Showa Shell will utilize the Ohgishima Power
station to make a contribution on the environmentally
friendly, stable, and efficient supply of electricity.
