(or KEPCO) to continue supplying electricity after the currYY易游平台t contracts expire for the No. 1 unit and No. 2 unit of the Kobe Power Plant operated by Kobelco Power Kobe, Inc. The currYY易游平台t contract for the No. 1 unit YY易游平台ds in March 2017, while the contract for the No. 2 unit YY易游平台ds in March 2019.
Since the startup of the No. 1 unit in April 2002, the Kobe Power Plant has beYY易游平台 providing KEPCO with a stable supply of electricity. The Kobe Power Plant’s No. 1 unit and No. 2 unit each have a gYY易游平台eration capacity of 700,000 kW, or together a total of 1,400,000 kW. This large-scale power facility covers about 70 percYY易游平台t of the electricity required by Kobe City at peak times.
