FY2017 environmental activity results

Environmental targets and results of kyushu electric power (summary)

We set numerical targets for all of our key environmental activities as we continually strive to decrease our environmental load.

Management of Water in Power Generation

Water Management

Industrial water used in power generation is drawn from rivers and other sources within usage limitations. We are working to reduce the amount of freshly supplied water we use when power generation facilities are shut down or in normal operation through such measures as water recirculation.

Water Usage for Power Generation and Wastewater Volume at Thermal and Nuclear Power Stations (FY2017)

*1 Amount of consumption deducted for daily use from external input (city water, well water, etc.).
Does not include seawater used for cooling water or water circulating in the power station.
*2 Amount of wastewater propely treated by wastewater treatment equipment at each power station.

Water Risk Assessment

According to the Water Risk Filter of the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF),in the Kyushu area where we have installed power stations that use freshwater or seawater, there is no danger of water shortage.We also endeavor to manage water used in power generation and wastewater properly.

Economic Effect in Environmental Activity

FY2017 result including saving and earning money was approximately 20 billion yen, which is about 5 billion yen more than last fiscal year because of saving fuel for thermal power plants.

Environmental Efficiency

The indexes of environmental efficiency show achievement level of environmental management.

[Defined Formula of the Environmental Efficiency]
Environmental Efficiency =Electricity Sale Volume (kWh) / Environmental Load (t)
