Pursuant to the provisory clause of Article 21, Paragraph 1 of the Electricity Utilities 
Industry Law, the Tokyo Electric Power Company, Inc. (TEPCO) today applied the Minister 
of Economy, Trade and Industry for approval of a special measure for fuel cost adjustments 
to January-March 2009 electricity rates, and the approval was given as applied. 

[Outline of the special measure]
As for electricity rates applicable to residential and other low-voltage customers of 
January-March 2009, TEPCO will reduce the unit price for the fuel cost adjustments

be added to the fuel cost adjustment unit prices for the subsequent four periods each: 
April-June, July-September, and October-December 2009, and January-March 2010.
