TOKYO, March 13 (Reuters) - Tokyo Gas  9531.T  and 13
other Japanese companies plan to set up a consortium "soon" to
develop technology to mass produce floating offshore wind power
facilities at a low cost, the Nikkei business daily reported on
Wednesday.
    The other companies include Japan's biggest power generator
JERA and regional utilities Kansai Electric Power  9503.T ,
Tohoku Electric Power  9506.T  and Chubu Electric Power
 9502.T , the Nikkei said.
    Although Japanese companies have offshore wind assets in
countries from Taiwan to Belgium and Britain, they have yet to
build large-scale farms at home.
