Upon receiving the Tohoku Electric Power Company's request via the
Electric Power System Council of Japan (ESCJ) for the power supply in
order to respond to the anticipated severe power demand-supply balance in
its service area, TEPCO decided to provide power supply to Tohoku Electric
Power Company up to 300 MW from 8:00 to 19:00 tomorrow in the form of
Power Interchange 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.
