JERA, a joint venture between Tokyo Electric Power Fuel & Power (headquartered in Tokyo)[1] and Chubu Electric Power (headquartered in Nagoya City, Aichi Prefecture)[2], announced that it will provide comprehensive services for Kamisu Biomass Power Generation LLC. JERA is one of the largest power producers in the world, and owns several LNG receiving terminals and power generation assets. JERA participates in a wide variety of business activities, including investing in power plant development projects, fuel procurement and fuel trading, and operations and maintenance (O&M) services.[3] Through this contract, JERA will provide comprehensive services, including planning, design, construction, and O&M services, for Kamisu Biomass Power Station, which will be built in Kamisu City, Ibaraki Prefecture.
The Kamisu Biomass Power Station is expected to generate a total output of 50MW, and will begin commercial operations in September 2023. The power station will be built and operated by leveraging JERA’s experience from operating 26 domestic thermal power stations. JERA will continue expanding its O&M services to customers in Japan and overseas, as part of its goal to secure O&M service contracts for 80GW of power generation by FY2025.[4]
