Shikoku Electric postpones maintenance work at Anan plant
Shikoku Electric Power postponed its planned maintenance work at its 450MW No 3 unit at the Anan plant in Japan.
It was originally scheduled from 3 September to 9 September this year.
The utility will purchase 130MW of power to ramp up supplies and discontinue 25MW of power assistance to Kansai Electric Power by 3 September.
Shikoku Electric expects to take a decision to restart the mothballed 220MW No 2 unit at the Anan plant to meet peak winter demand.
The oil-fired unit is expected to resume operations by mid-January 2012.
