Tokyo - Tokyo Electric Power Co. (TEPCO) today concluded a sale and 
purchase agreement for LNG in Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk, Sakhalin in the Russian
Federation. TEPCO has been negotiating detailed conditions with the 
seller, Sakhalin Energy Investment Company Ltd., for the purchase of 
LNG from the Sakhalin II Project based on the Heads of Agreement (HoA) 
concluded with that company on May 19, 2003.

The contract signed today reflects the need for TEPCO to address changes
in its operating environment such as progress in deregulation of the 
electric power and gas markets. The terms and conditions of the contract,
including introduction of a buyer's volume option and making free on 
board (FOB) the terms of delivery, provide great flexibility and 
competitiveness. Furthermore, the Sakhalin II Project has an abundant 
volume of resources and is geographically close to Japan. Thus, 
procurement of LNG under this project is expected to contribute to 
stability of supply and diversity of supply sources.
