Goi United Generation, the joint venture of JERA and JXTG Nippon Oil & Energy Corporation, has signed a tripartite contract for the construction of the 2,340 MW Goi gas-fired power plant with Toshiba Energy Systems & Solutions Corporation, and Toshiba Plant System & Services Corporation. The Goi CCGT power project will consist of three 780 MW LNG-fired power units. It would reportedly include GE's 9HA.02 gas turbines, with an average thermal efficiency of 64%. The project will be located on the site of JERA's existing Goi thermal power plant and is expected to be commissioned in 2024-2025.
The JERA joint venture was set up in February 2015 to integrate TEPCO's and Chubu Electric’ existing fuel businesses (upstream and procurement). JERA also operates TEPCO's and Chubu Electric's LNG terminal and, in April 2019, integrated the companies' thermal power generation businesses, i.e. around 68 GW of coal-fired and gas-fired power capacity in Japan and 9 GW. JERA will now control JPY4,000bn (US$36bn) of assets and cover the entire supply chain for power generation.
