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.
