All of steam and the electricity which are used in the mill are supplied from the No. 2 biomass boiler (2B) and the No. 2 steam turbine generator (2T⁄G) which started commercial operation in 2006. Since surplus electric power occurs even if it deducts the mill use about electricity, it supplies outside as electricity sales to utilities.
Establishment of large-sized equipment is scheduled for 2013, it was expected that electricity demand carries out the increase in 900kW by this operation, and we were anxious about reduction in electricity sales to utilities. Since the work on this increase in electric demand became important, promotion of power saving by energy-saving project and the increase in a production of electricity of 2T⁄G were tackled.
Moreover, photovoltaic generation equipment is due to work from March, 2014 as part of the renewable energy introduction which follows 2B in the mill.
In this news, the contents of activity and the example of energy-saving project and the increase in 2T⁄G production of electricity are introduced. In addition, the photovoltaic generation equipment under construction is introduced.
