Severe cold spells bolster Japan s heating oil, power fuel demand in Jan | Hellenic Shipping News Worldwide

Severe cold spells bolster Japan’s heating oil, power fuel demand in Jan The severe cold spells in Japan boosted domestic heating oil consumption and kerosene imports in January, while the country ramped up oil procurement for thermal power generation, driving up fuel oil and direct-burning crude purchases in the month. Japan’s oil demand for power generation shot up as the country faced a significant increase in its thermal power generation in early January because of severe cold spells, which had tightened the country’s power supply and demand balance, because of a sharp drop in LNG stocks and low solar power output from bad weather.

Japan juggles power struggles, hotel woes and what to do with repurposed ATM spaces

Feb 13, 2021 Next month, 10 years will have passed since the meltdown of three Fukushima nuclear reactors. Since that time, Japan has relied mainly on its aging thermal generators for its power needs, with solar power and other forms of renewable energy only supplying a small fraction of demand. Peak power demand typically occurs during the summer months, when air conditioners are cranked up to maximum settings. One thing no one has counted on, however, is high demand during winter. The winter of 2020-21 has been an unusually cold one, with temperatures around the country plunging to levels seen perhaps only once in a decade, and this has sent chills down the spines of utility firms.
