JERA plans to buy a 50% interest in three natural gas-fired thermal power generation plants or the "Compass Portfolio" in the US. The Compass Portfolio has an aggregate power generation capacity of 1,123MW. It includes the Marcus Hook Energy Center in Philadelphia, the Dighton, and the Milford Energy facilities in Massachusetts. Kyushu Electric Power Co said it restricted its third-party solar power supplies over the weekend. This is the first time a Japanese utilities company has limited the use of renewable energy to avoid blackouts. The government had started to allow old utilities in 2015 to restrict supplies of renewable energy in order to maintain grid stability.
