We sincerely express our apologies for great inconvenience and worry 
caused by our nuclear power plant accident to the people in the area near 
the power plant as well as the people in the entire society.

Since March 11, 2011 we have taken special measures for the electricity 
bills for the customers who have evacuated from the areas to which 
evacuation orders etc. have been directed, based on the Act on Special 
Measures Concerning Nuclear Emergency Preparedness and who are eligible to 
permanent indemnification, if those customers apply for the measures 
(announced on September 30, 2011). In order to continue to mitigate the 
financial burden for the period until permanent indemnification for the 
customers, we have hereby decided to partially modify contents of the 
Special Measures and therefore we have applied, to Ministry of Economy, 
Trade and Industry, for and have acquired an approval today for setting

customers who have evacuated from the areas to which evacuation order etc.

Nuclear Emergency Preparedness, and who are eligible to permanent 
indemnification) to General Supply Provisions, based on a proviso of 
Section I of Article 21 of Electricity Business Act. 
The contents of the partial modifications are as follows:
