Tokyo Gas Co. and two other companies are considering bidding for a gas utility that the city of Sendai may sell in April 2010.

Tohoku Electric Power Co. and Japan Petroleum Exploration Co. are also considering the acquisition, Tohoku spokesman Mitsuhiro Takauchi and Japan Petroleum spokesman Shigeyoshi Hasegawa said by phone Thursday.
