A big earthquake occurred in the Miyagi Prefecture at 2:46 today. Due
to the earthquake, about 4.05 million households are in power outage
in our service area.

Due to the earthquake, our power facilities have huge damages, so we
are afraid that power supply tonight would run short. We strongly ask
our customers to conserve electricity.
