Jera Submits Chita CCGT Environmental Plan
Japanese utility Jera has submitted the environmental impact assessment for proposed new units 7 and 8 at its ageing Chita combined-cycle gas turbine power plant to the local authorities, it said March 16. The primary documents were submitted in October.
The Chita construction plan involves decommissioning units 1-5; retaining unit 6; and building units 7 and 8. "In order to reduce CO2 emissions, for new units 7 and 8 the plan adopts the latest high-efficiency combined cycle power generation system (with gross efficiency of about 63%). In addition, the environmental burden due to smoke and warm wastewater is expected to be lower when the plan has been carried out than for operations at the existing facility," it said.
