1. Forecast of Demand and Supply

< Demand & Supply Forecast Month by Month >
(In case of ordinary summer: Assume the 10-year average of highest 
 temperature on the day of maximum demand recorded) 


2. Measures to Secure Supply and Demand


< Emergency / Interim Measures 
                       to be Taken When Demand is Likely to Exceed Supply >

Thanks to the understanding and cooperation by the parties interested, 
we received permission for the emergency and temporary use of Shiobara 
Power Station (900 thousand kW).



< Efforts taken to secure the stable supply >

In case of ordinary summer, the supply would be enough to cover the 
demand.  However, in case of the very severe summer, the demand would 
exceed the supply.  In order to avoid such a case and to secure stable 
supply, we will exercise the measures below.

(1) Continue to make efforts to get additional supply
(2) Try to secure the stable supply even after the summer peak
(3) Ask our customers to save electricity and try to reduce the demand
    in case of rapid increase of the demand
