Upon receiving a power supply request from the Tohoku Electric Power Company via the Electric Power System Council of Japan (ESCJ) in order to resolve the tight power supply in their service area, we will provide the maximum of 350MW from 10:30 AM to 5:00 PM today in a form of power interchange while considering our own power demand-supply balance.
This power interchange will have no negative impact on secure power supply in our service area.
