The head of Japan’s electricity utilities federation on Friday said his biggest concern over fuel procurement during the peak summer demand season is disruption in liquefied natural gas (LNG) from Russia’s Sakhalin-2 and the U.S. Freeport projects.
Kazuhiro Ikebe, chairman of the Federation of Electric Power Companies, who is also president of Kyushu Electric Power Co. Inc., also told a news conference that his company expects to secure adequate fuel during the summer through long-term contracts, though disruption from Sakhalin-2 amid the prolonged Ukraine crisis is a concern.
