石油设备网讯 据路透社东京报道，日本JERA作为日本最大的火力发电企业，以及全球最大的液化天然气（LNG）买家，该公司新负责人表示，希望通过加大对液化天然气和可再生能源的投资，使其利润在截至2026年3月的财政年度翻一番。
东京电力公司和中部电力合资的企业JERA于本月收购了两家股东拥有的26座发电站，占日本热能发电能力的一半，成为主要的发电企业。
4月1日成为 JERA 总裁的 Satoshi onoda 上周在接受采访时表示: “我们的首要任务是顺利合并两家公司的电力运营并带来协同增效。”
他在接受路透社采访时说：“我们还希望成为液化天然气和可再生能源领域的全球领导者，以促进向清洁能源经济的过渡。”
根据一项为期七年的商业计划，JERA 的目标是通过整合提高效率，并将70%的投资预算用于LNG和可再生能源，到2026年3月31日的财年内，将净利润从今年预计的1000亿日元提高到 2000亿日元 (约18亿美元)。
onoda 表示：“液化天然气和可再生能源是关键的增长领域。”
JERA计划在2026年3月底之前保持每年3500万吨液化天然气的交易，并计划赢得海外天然气发电项目，在这些项目中，JERA将提供燃料、液化天然气基础设施以及发电运营和维护。
onoda 表示：“我们希望提供燃料、发电站以及运营和维护的整体服务。”
为了满足客户对清洁能源日益增长的需求，JERA计划在7年内将其可再生能源能力从目前的650兆瓦提高到3千兆瓦，最终目标为5千兆瓦。
onoda 表示：“国内外大规模的海上风力发电将是我们的主要目标。”

JERA aims to double profit by Financial year 25/26 with focus on LNG, renewable energy
JERA, Japan’s biggest thermal power generator and the world’s biggest buyer of liquefied natural gas (LNG), aims to double its profit by the financial year through March 2026 by stepping up investment in LNG and renewable energy, its new head said.
The joint venture between Tokyo Electric Power Company Holdings and Chubu Electric Power Co became a major electricity generator this month with the takeover of 26 power stations owned by its two shareholders and representing about half of Japan’s thermal power capacity.
“Our top priority is to smoothly combine the two companies’ power operations and bring synergy,” Satoshi Onoda, who became president of JERA on April 1, said in an interview last week.
“We also want to become the global leader in LNG and renewable energy to enhance the transition to a clean energy economy,” he told Reuters.
Under a seven-year business plan, JERA aims to boost its net profit to 200 billion yen ($1.8 billion) in the year to March 31, 2026, from 100 billion yen expected for the current year, through efficiencies gained by integration and by devoting 70 percent of its investment budget to LNG and renewable energy.
“LNG and renewables are the key growth areas,” onoda said.
JERA plans to keep trading 35 million tonnes of LNG annually by the year to end-March 2026 and aims to win gas-to-power projects overseas in which JERA provides fuel, LNG infrastructure and power generation operation and maintenance.
“We want to offer fuel, power stations and operation and maintenance services as a package,” onoda said.
To meet growing demand for cleaner energy from its customers, JERA plans to increase its renewable energy capacity to 5 gigawatts (GW) in seven years, up from 650 megawatts now and increased from an earlier target of 3 GW.
“Large-scale off-shore wind power abroad and at home will be our main targets,” onoda said.
