"Inter RAO" and "RAO ES Vostoka" build export plans.
State Company "Inter RAO" and "RAO ES Vostoka" are trying to promote alternative Sakhalin - Japan export energy bridge construction. The project of "Inter RAO" is larger: the company wants to build up to 3 GW of new coal and gas generation. "RAO ES of the East", by contrast, intends to load its existing units and build no more than 1 GW of thermal power plants for export. But both projects look hypothetical: no project operators or investors are identified, large deliveries are possible only with laying power lines to the island of Honshu.
