Aiming at further growth and development of the Group and sustainable
improvement of the Group´s corporate value, Tokyo Electric Power Company
(TEPCO) established its "Fiscal 2007 Business Management Plan" which
organized the challenges to be intensively addressed over the next three
years and major management targets.
This plan is compiled from specific action plans to achieve the targets
declared under the TEPCO Group´s medium-term management policy "Management
Vision 2010" (established in October, 2004) in which fiscal 2010 is set
as the target year, in accordance with the three Group Management Guidelines,
i.e., "Win the Trust of Society," "Compete and Succeed" and "Foster People
and Technologies."
Main points of the Fiscal 2007 Business Management Plan are as follows:
[Reinforcement of Efforts to Restore Public Confidence]
Based on the hard lessons learned from the cases of inappropriate handling
such as falsification of data on power generation facilities and inadequacy
in procedures of laws and regulations, we regard the restoration of public
confidence in siting areas and society at large as the most important and
urgent challenge, and the TEPCO Group will make group-wide efforts.
Expansion of measures for recurrence prevention
(1)Measures for awareness (culture of not doing anything wrong)
1. To improve the contents of provisions of "Behavioral Standards on
Corporate Ethics"
2. To improve the study and training of corporate ethics in line with
characteristics of each department
3. To sign a written oath to comply with corporate ethics
4. To further promote people-to-people exchanges between departments
and between establishments
(2)Measures for mechanism (mechanism of not allowing anyone to do
anything wrong)
1. To review corporate rules and manuals to make them appropriate to
the facilities and operations at front-line workplaces
2. To reinforce and improve internal audit functions
(3)Measures for mechanism (mechanism to encourage employees to confess)
1. To reinforce the mechanism to reflect the opinions of siting areas
and local community in the management of operations
2. To review operations intensively through the creation of Operations
Inspection Month, etc.
3. To improve the mechanism to manage trouble and malfunctions of
facilities
4. To reinforce the support to ease the worry caused at front-line
workplaces due to the pressure of operations

support front-line workplaces
6. To review the management of operations of the nuclear power division
I. Win the Trust of Society
While aiming at restoring confidence by making thorough efforts to
comply with corporate ethics and laws and regulations, we will try
to ensure stable supply and energy security.
1) Outlook for Electric Power Demand
a) Electricity sales
The average growth rate from fiscal 2005 through fiscal 2016
is 1.1% (after air temperature and intercalary adjustment)
Up 2.0% from the previous fiscal year in fiscal 2007
b) Peak demand
The average growth rate from fiscal 2005 through fiscal 2016
is 0.9% (after air temperature adjustment)
61.1 GW (one-day peak at generation end) in fiscal 2007

3) On-Target Measures Against Global Warming Issues
With an aim to achieve the target* of "reducing the five-year
(fiscal 2008-2012) average of CO2 emission intensity by 20% from
the fiscal 1990 level, "we will promote the following efforts:
Safe and stable operation of nuclear power stations that contribute
to reduction in CO2 emissions
Improvement of thermal efficiency of thermal power generation
Expansion of utilization of renewable energy through fulfillment
of obligations prescribed by RPS Law
Acquisition of carbon credits from overseas greenhouse gas
reduction projects
* To keep pace with the first commitment period (2008-2012) of
the Kyoto Protocol, the evaluation basis has been changed to
a five-year average under this plan.
II. Compete and Succeed
Amid intensifying competition, our group as a whole will provide
services to meet diversified and sophisticated needs of customers
in order for us to be continuously selected by customers. Moreover,
we will also promote cost reduction in every field and make efforts
to further reinforce our price competitiveness.
1) Promotion of Sales Expansion Strategy
During the three-year period from fiscal 2007 through fiscal 2009,
we plan to find new markets for a total of about 6 billion kWh of
electricity sales, and aim to achieve the target ("expanding sales
volume by 10 billion kWh or larger" on a cumulative total basis
from fiscal 2004 through fiscal 2010) of "Management Vision 2010"
earlier than originally planned.
