Sumitomo Metals bid into Tokyo EPC’s 1999 power solicitation and the two
companies subsequently signed a 15yr PPA. The ¥57bn unit went commercial
in Jun 2007. IHI supplied the wet FGD scrubber and SCR. Particulate and
NOX emission limits are among the lowest for any Japanese power station.
Sumitomo Metals also built 10m berms around the plant to minimize visual
impacts.

units were built to fire heavy oil and some later converted to coal and
coal-water mixture. The original plant was jointly invested by Tokyo
Electric, Tohoku Electric, and Joban Tanko. Tokyo EPC and Tohoku EPC now
each own 49.11% with the balance held by several trading companies.

unit went online in Apr 2004. In total, expenditures for environmental
controls comprised about a third of the total ¥200bn capex for the supercritical Shinko
Kobe. In addition, a part of the steelworks was shut down and some of the
steel-making equipment previously using heavy oil was shifted to natural
gas. Kobelco has take-or-pay PPAs with Kansai EPC dating to 1996. About 15 financial institutions were involved in
