Japan: TEPCO FY 2012 Planned LNG Use at 23.3 Million Tonnes

Japan’s Tokyo Electric Power (TEPCO) said that it plans to use 23.3 million tonnes of LNG in fiscal 2012.

TEPCO burned 1,897,000 mt of LNG in April, up 15.1 percent on year.

Japan’s consumption of LNG surged in the aftermath of the March 11 earthquake.

Power companies account for two-thirds of total Japanese LNG imports.
