Japan to offer low-interest loans for LNG procurement

The Japanese government will provide support through public financial institutions to help utilities secure liquefied natural gas (LNG) amid a surge in prices, the Nikkei business daily reported on Thursday.

The state-owned Japan Bank for International Cooperation (JBIC) will provide low-interest loans to electric power utilities and city gas companies to buy the super-chilled fuel from the spot market, the paper said, without citing sources.

The move is aimed at avoiding an energy crunch by offering financial support before winter, when heating demand is expected to increase.

Japanese utilities buy the bulk of their LNG through long-term contracts, but about 20% comes from the spot market.
