Backup supply from Higashi Shimizu Conversion Station: 100MW
Because TEPCO's facilities have been seriously damaged, power shortage
may occur.
TEPCO appreciates customers' cooperation in reducing electricity usage by
avoiding using unnessesary lighting and electrical equipment.
We are also making requests to some large-scale customers with contracts
to partially suspend operation to suppress usage of power.
We are taking all measures to restore power, however, we expect extremely
challenging situation in power supply for tomorrow as well.
We kindly ask our customers to cooperate with us in reducing usage of
power.
Please do NOT touch cut-off electric wires.
A temporary small fire occured at a service building in Fukushima Daini
Nuclear Power Station. However, it was extinguished at 4:07 PM today.
