TOKYO, Jan 5 (Reuters) - Japan's second-biggest city gas provider, Osaka Gas (9532.T), said on Monday it started commercial operations of the No.1 unit at its new 1.25-gigawatt gas-fired power station in Himeji, western Japan, on January 1.
Once both units are online, Osaka Gas' domestic thermal power generation capacity will rise to about 3.2 GW from roughly 2 GW.
With this business, ITOCHU will design and supply energy storage system and power conditioners from its own procurement network, and will also build and maintain an optimal storage system. Osaka Gas will oversee trading in the energy market and control of the storage plant by utilizing its knowledge of the energy trade.
