Short-term Fuel Procurement Business

We leverage our world-leading offtake volume to build a fuel portfolio that is price competitive in short-term trading (4 years or less for LNG) and capable of coping with volume and price fluctuation risk. We contribute to Japan’s supply of stable and economical electricity and gas through competitive fuel procurement, and are utilizing the flexibility we have gained to expand our fuel trading business.

Staffed by about 300 employees, the business is undertaken by JERA Global Markets, which is based in Singapore and London.
