Negotiation Starts Next Week As To Shipments From January For Electric Power

摘要

The contract negotiation on thermal coal for shipments starting from January (from January to December in 2013) for electric power is anticipated to start next week (the 1st week of December). The companies which will go into a contract negotiation for shipments starting from January are Tokyo electric Power, Kansai Electric Power and Hokkaido Electric Power, etc.. As there are virtually only 3 weeks in December excluding Christmas holidays, it is highly likely that the settlement can be reached as early as mid December.
