Upon receiving the Kyushu Electric Power Company's request via the Electric
Power System Council of Japan (ESCJ) for the power supply in order to
respond to Kyushu Electric Power Company's thermal power plant stop, TEPCO
provided power supply to Kyushu Electric Power Company up to 500 MW from
7:00 to 9:00 today in the form of Power Interchange while considering its
own power demand-supply balance.
This operation has 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.
