JERA Co., Inc. ("JERA") announced today that it has completed the transfer of its 50% interest in TC Generation, LLC ("TC Gen"), a joint investment vehicle established with Tyr Energy Inc. (Tyr Energy), a U.S. subsidiary of ITOCHU Corp. 

 

JERA, through JERA Americas, held indirect equity interests in three gas-fired power plants in ERCOT, SPP, and PJM markets in the United States along with Tenaska.
