In order to continue "in principle avoidance" of planned blackouts, we will
continue our efforts to maintain supply capacity and request for conserving
electricity. Today, we reviewed the supply - demand outlook from September 
3 to September 23. At the same time we summarized the supply - demand 
outlook from September 3 to September 30 and announce as follows.



We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience caused, and appreciate your 
cooperation to save power usage,

                                                                        END
