In response to the Tohoku Electric Power Company's request via the
Electric Power System Council of Japan (ESCJ) for the power supply in
the anticipation that the power demand-supply balance in its service
area would be severe, TEPCO decided to provide power supply up to 300
MW from 16:30 pm to 18:30 pm today while considering its own power
demand-supply balance.
This operation will not have any negative impact in the power supply
in TEPCO's service area.

<reference> Power Interchange (Power interchange across the service areas)
Power interchange conduced between electric power companies in order to
secure the stable power supply as a nation in case of the power supply
failure due to accident or demand-supply gap at the time of sharp demand
increase.
ESCJ takes a role as an agent in coordinating the power interchange. The
electric power company asking for the additional power supply makes
application for ESCJ. ESCJ then coordinate with other electric power
companies who are capable of supplying power.
