We use various kinds of fossil fuel
such as crude oil, heavy fuel oil, and LNG, for thermal power generation.
We also diversify the sources of supply for each fuel into several countries.
These efforts will enable us to reduce the risk of stoppage of fuel supply
and to achieve a stable supply of economical fuel. |
