We have decided to supply maximum of 1.4 GW to Tohoku Electric Power Company 
which suffered severe damage from the quake in order to support balance of 
demand and supply. In response to the request from Tohoku Electric Power 
Company, we supplied 300 MW from 13:00 on August 4 to 22:00 on August 6, 
and 500 MW as power interchanges (nationwide power exchanges) from 10:00 to 
17:00 on August 6 (previously announced on August 6). 

We continuously supplies 300 MW from 6:00 on August 8 to 22:00 on August 11 
to Tohoku Electric Power Company. However, we received additional requests 
for a power supply (nationwide power exchange), 300 MW yesterday and 200 MW 
today (total maximum 500 MW), from Tohoku Electric Power Company through the 
Electric Power System Council of Japan. In response to the requests, based 
on today's supply and demand balance in our service area, we have decided to 
supply additional power, maximum 500 MW as nationwide power exchange, from 
10:00 to 17:15 today. 

We supply maximum 800 MW to Tohoku Electric Power Company in the above 
period today. However, we assume we can maintain proper reserve capacity. 
Therefore, there will be no problem in stable power supply in our service 
area.


 * Our supply capacity before the supply to Tohoku (54.8 GW) already 
   reflected the supply of 0.3 GW (300 MW) from August 8 to August 11. 

<Reference> Power interchanges (nationwide power exchanges)
Emergency power interchanges among general electricity utilities to secure 
stable supply and demand nationwide as a countermeasure to the gap between 
supply and demand due to faults in generators in operation and sharp 
increases in demand.
For the exchange of power, Electric Power System Council of Japan ("ESCJ") 
facilitates the process (the general electricity utility in need of 
additional power makes a request to ESCJ. ESCJ inquires other general 
utilities whether they can provide the power or not. By the offer(s) from 
general utiliti(es) who can provide supply, the power exchange is decided.)
