1. Forecast of Demand and Supply
The maximum demand for electricity is expected at 53.80 million kW for this winter.
To satisfy this demand, we expect that we will be able to ensure the supply capacity
of 56 .80 million kW for this winter, because it makes effort in ensuring the supply
capacity by the restarted operation and trial operation of our thermal power plants
being stoppe d under the long-term shut-down plan so as to add 2.40 million kW to
the monthly supply capacity in February when the reserve capacity is the smallest,
though Kashiwazaki-Kari wa Nuclear Power Station has been shut down under the
influences of Niigata-Chuetsu-Oki Earthquake.
<Additional supply capacity>Included in the monthly supply capcity as shown in
the table above.
Total: Max. 2.40 million kW (in February)
○ Thermal power plants restarted in operation as the additional supply capacity
for this winter:
Yokosuka Thermal Power Station No.2 gas turbine (14.4 million kW: Light oil and
city gas) Restarted on September 11, 2007
Goi Thermal Power Station No. 4 (26.5 million kW: LNG; Stopped under
the long-term shut-down plan)
Scheduled to restart in operation within the middle to last period
of December in 2007
○ Thermal power plants under trial operation:
Kawasaki Thermal Power Station System No.1, 2nd shaft (50.0 million kW:LNG)
Started in trial operation on October 25, 2007
Futtsu Thermal Power Plant System No.4, 1st shaft (50.7 million kW:LNG)
Scheduled to start in operation within the middle period of December in 2007
○ Others
Increased output of power plants Approx. 50.0 million kW
Purchase of electricity from other electric power companies Approx. 30.0 million kW
in December, and the Supply being adjusted for January and subsequent months
Purchase of electricity from In-house power generation Approx. 70.0 million kW
* The additional supply capacity in each month depends on the trial operation process.
2. Ask for the cooperation in Electricity Conservation
In December and the subsequent months, we'll ask our customers such as companies and
households to reduce their consumptions of electricity on the back of "monthly notice
of electricity consumption" and by our visit and other activities.
