Due to the power supply-demand balance, TEPCO has been implementing rolling
blackout since Monday, March 14. We sincerely regret causing anxiety and
inconvenience to our customers and the society. We appreciate your
cooperation in conserving electricity consumption.
As for customers who will be subject to rolling blackout, please be
prepared for the announced blackout periods. Also as for customers who are
not subject to blackouts, we would appreciate your continuous cooperation
in reducing electricity usage by turning off unnecessary lightings and
electrical appliances.
○Implementation plan of rolling blackout on Sunday, March 20
Regional blocks are not scheduled on March 20th considering today's
electricity supply-demand.
○Implementation plan of rolling blackout from Monday, March 21st to
26th, Saturday
Please refer to the appendix for details.
●Starting and ending time of blackout periods may slightly differ.
●Depending on the supply-demand balance of the day, planned blackouts may
not be carried out. Moreover, in case the electricity supply-demand
balance becomes tighter than expected, we will reconsider the rolling
blackout plan and inform you accordingly before we implement the revised
plan.
●A blackout may occur in the adjacent areas where the planned blackouts are
carried out.
[Others]
●In order to prevent fire, please make sure to switch off electric
appliances such as hair driers when you leaving home.
●Please pay attention to the traffic at the crossings in case the traffic
light may suddenly turn off.
[Improvement in implementing planned blackouts]
●In principle, we will implement the planned blackout based on the current
plan. However, we do realize that there is room for improvement.
Therefore, we will continue to consider and improve implementation plans
from the customers' point of view.
