Due to the Tohoku-Chihou-Taiheiyo-Oki Earthquake occurred on March 11,
the power supply-demand balance within our service area has been very
critical. As such, we have decided to implement rolling blackout on
and after March 15, which was started on March 14. We sincerely regret
to cause the anxiety and inconvenience to our customers and the society.
We will continuously make every effort to restore stable power supply
as soon as possible.
○Implementation plan of rolling blackout on Tue, March 15
Regional block and time periods planned to have rolling blackout are as
follows. The actual extension of blackout for each block are planned to
be approximately 3 hours each.
For customers who will be subject to rolling blackout, please be prepared
for the announced blackout periods. Also for customers who are not
subject to blackouts, TEPCO appreciates your continuous cooperation in
reducing electricity usage by avoiding using unnecessary lighting and
electrical equipment.
