Saibu Gas Mulling Power Generation Business
In an interview with the Nishinippon Shimbun, Fukuoka City-based Saibu Gas President Yuji Tanaka said the company was considering entering the electrical power generation business, to provide electricity to the existing utilities and corporations. It is part of their long-term vision for 2030, which will be the company’s 100th anniversary. At present, Kyushu Electric Power has a near monopoly on electric power generation in the region.
