Japan's Hokuriku Electric to build 600-MW gas-fired power plant in north
Tokyo:
Hokuriku Electric
Power said on Monday that it will build a new 600 megawatt
LNG-fired power generation
unit at its
Toyama Shinko power station
in northern Japan, with operations slated to begin in the 2033/34 fiscal year.
The new unit will replace two aging thermal power units - a 250-MW coal-fired unit and an idled 240-MW oil-fired unit. The company expects the replacement to reduce its annual carbon dioxide emissions by around 2 million metric tons, it said.
