Today, we opened and started operating Official Twitter Account for 
Rolling Blackouts with support from Digital Garage, Inc. (Kaoru Hayashi, 
President/Group CEO).

The Official Twitter Account for Rolling Blackouts is exclusively used for 
sending out information related to rolling blackouts. While we have 
already operated an official account "OfficialTEPCO", we expect that we 
would be able to rapidly and properly deliver information about rolling 
blackouts to the applicable customers by using a dedicated account.

With regard to the Official Twitter Account for Rolling Blackouts, each 
group (1-A - 5-E) is provided with a different account. If rolling 
blackout is necessary, we would tweet the information through the 
designated account to the targeted group(s). A customer can be informed 
of important information by following the account of his/her area out of 
25 accounts.

Moreover, a customer who uses a Twitter function "Notice by Email" would 
be able to receive the contents tweeted in the following account by email.

In operating multiple accounts we utilize Twitter Account Management Tool 
"Tweetmanager" developed and sold by Digital Garage's subsidiary CGM 
Marketing, Inc. The multiple account operation has been realized by the 
improvement of "Tweetmanager" by CGM Marketing who enabled it to send 
information from multiple accounts at once. 

We apologize for the inconvenience and anxiety in using electricity. We 
will continue to make every effort to avoid rolling blackouts and 
appreciate your cooperation in saving electricity.
