Expansion of gas supply business in Hokkaido
HEPCO will enter the gas (LNG) supply business in Hokkaido through business tie-ups with operators boasting a proven track record in supplying gas. It is conducting sales activities so that it can immediately begin delivering LNG to customers once construction of its LNG tank is completed at the Ishikari LNG Terminal.

Business alliances with Hokkaido Air Water Inc. and Iwatani Corporation
HEPCO supplies LNG to both companies. Both companies sell LNG to customers. In addition, in cooperation with both companies, HEPCO will also sell LNG directly to customers.
Expansion of electricity sales outside of Hokkaido
In November 2016 HEPCO began selling electricity to customers using high-voltage and extra high-voltage electricity, such as factories and buildings, in the Tokyo Metropolitan Area.
In addition, in the future, HEPCO aims to acquire even more customers by effectively utilizing the natural gas-fired power generation business in which it is participating at Soma Port in Fukushima Prefecture.
