Kyushu Electric Power withdraws from feasibility study on the LNG-fired thermal power plant in Sodegaura, Chiba Prefecture
In September 2019, Kyushu Electric Power Co., Inc. and Tokyo Gas Co., Inc. (Director, Representative CEO & President, Takashi Uchida) established Chiba-Sodegaura Power Co., Ltd. to conduct a feasibility study on the joint development of a gas-fired thermal power plant in Sodegaura City, Chiba Prefecture.
However, amidst the turbulent conditions of the global energy situation and after having conducted a comprehensive assessment of the various circumstances surrounding the LNG power plant project, including the fuel and electricity markets, Kyushu Electric Power has decided to discontinue investing resources in the ongoing feasibility study. Being faced with these conditions, Kyushu Electric Power has concluded that there is no choice but to withdraw from the project located in Sodegaura.
We would like to thank everyone for their understanding and support in the development of this project.
