据路透社4月11日报道,日本最大的燃气供应商东京燃气公司(Tokyo Gas)和第二大电力企业关西电力公司(Kansai Electric Power Co)周一宣布,双方将在LNG采购上达成合作关系,并共享燃气发电厂技术。
上述两家公司均是日本最大的LNG买家,购买量约占全球的三分之一。
东京燃气公司的官员表示,上周四双方成功完成了LNG的首次交换,但没有透露更多细节。其企业策划经理Takayuki Uenaka称,双方将在灵活的LNG采购方面寻求更进一步的合作,以求在低价时期保证稳定的供应。

Tokyo Gas, Kansai Electric in LNG procurement partnership
Japan's biggest city gas supplier Tokyo Gas and second-biggest power utility Kansai Electric Power Co said on Monday they will partner up on liquefied natural gas (LNG) purchases and share technology for gas-fired power plants.
Both utilities are among the biggest LNG buyers in Japan, which takes in about a third of global shipments of the fuel.
The two firms have successfully completed their first swap of the super-chilled gas last Thursday, Tokyo Gas officials said, declining to give details.
They also plan to pursue further cooperation in flexible LNG procurement, aiming to achieve stable supplies at lower prices, said Takayuki Uenaka, Tokyo Gas group manager of corporate planning.
