Today, Tokyo Electric Power Company submitted the application for approval 
on setting up a supply condition out of the Terms of Electricity Supply, 
in order to apply the "Solar Surcharge" to the electricity bill of the 
customer starting from April 2012, in accordance with the "Surplus 
electricity buyback program for the photovoltaic power generation".

The "Surplus electricity buyback program for the photovoltaic power 
generation" started from November 1, 2009, in accordance with the "Act on 
promoting the use of nonfossil energy resources and the effective use of 
fossil energy resources by energy supply utilities" and other related laws 
(hereinafter referred to as "the Acts").
The expenses for purchasing the photovoltaic power based on this program 
are determined to be borne by all the customers using electricity, 
including HV and EHV customers, as the "Solar Surcharge". Specifically, 
they are taken as a part of the electricity charge of each month, after 
they are calculated as a function of consumed amount of electricity, based 
upon the "Solar Surcharge Rate", which is calculated in accordance with 
the provisions of the Acts.

<Outline of electricity charge calculation (In the case of metered rate)>  

The calculated amount of the Solar Surcharge Rate of FY 2012 (applied to 
the charge from April 2012 to March 2013) in accordance with the provisions 
of the Acts is as follows. 

 

Regarding the Terms of Electricity Supply for Wheeling, we applied the 
special approval for application of the "Solar Surcharge" from April 2012,
