In accordance with our "Comprehensive Special Business Plan", in principle, we are planning to purchase a total of 2,600 MW of power from other operators which will be able to start operating from June 2019 to June 2021.  As the Request for Proposals are now fixed, proposals will be accepted from February 15 to May 24.

On November 13, 2012, we released a draft of the Request for Proposals, and put out a Request for Comments (RFC) on this draft based on the "new guidelines for bidding on thermal power generation facilities (developed by the Agency for Natural Resources and Energy on September 18, 2012).

Later on December 14, 2012, we submitted a draft of the Request for Proposals that reflected the opinions gathered through RFC to the neutral organization (Thermal Power Plant Bids Working Group). As the Request for Proposals are now fixed, we will start requesting proposals from parties wishing to sell power.

A briefing session for potential bidders will be held as shown below. All interested parties, please visit the following webpage to make a reservation.
