Further to Tohoku Electric Power Company's request for power interchange 
(nationwide interchange) via the Electric Power System Council of Japan, 
taking account of the supply and demand balance of our service area, we 
decided to supply maximum of 300MW (nationwide interchange) from 4:00 pm 
to 7:00 pm tomorrow.

While we are to supply a maximum of 300MW in total to Tohoku Electric 
Power Company during the period indicated above, the supply and demand 
outlook is that we can maintain adequate reserve capacity. Hence there 
will be no issue in securing stable electric power supply in our service 
area.

<Reference> Support interchange (nationwide interchange)
In response to the supply and demand gap caused by accidents at the power 
source and the surge in power demand, in order to maintain nationwide 
supply and demand stability, as a matter of emergency evacuation, electric 
utilities interchange power between themselves.
In doing so, the Electric Power System Council of Japan (ESCJ) will 
conduct the mediation. (An electric utility that requires power supply 
will ask ESCJ for support. ESCJ will check with the other electric 
utilities. Electric utilities that can supply power will make offers to 
ESCJ and the power interchange will be determined.)
