Independent Power Generating Facility Completed at Nagoya Factory

Construction work on the independent power generating facility, which started in July last year, was completed and a purification ceremony was conducted on January 13. This power generating facility had been planned since fall of the year before last and is aimed at strengthening the Nagoya Plant's business by cutting electricity expenses and stabilizing the supply of steam. It uses municipal gas for fuel and can supply half the daytime electricity requirements of the Nagoya Plant when it is operated at maximum capacity.
