Based on to the request from the Tohoku Electric Power Company 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 today.

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.)
