Sakaide power plant's 269MW unit shut due to steam leak
Shikoku Electric Power Co shut the gas-fired 296-megawatt No.1 unit at Sakaide plant due to worries over a steam leak from a boiler tube.
Reuters reported that despite the shutdown, the company said it expects to secure enough power supplies to meet summer demand.
The company plans to resume operations at the units by 4 September, when the 566MW No 1 reactor at its Ikata plant will be shut for planned maintenance.
