In accordance with our "Comprehensive Special Business Plan", we are planning to hold a bid to have our thermal power generation facilities newly developed or replaced, and to purchase electricity from other operators for the purpose of reducing our facility investments. For this time, we decided to hold an invitation to receive bids for base power supply generation facilities with a supply capacity of 2,600 MW to begin supplying during the period from June 2019 to June 2021.

In order to ensure transparency and fairness of the tender specifications and bid evaluations, we will put out a Request For Comments (RFC) on our draft outline of the invitation for bids starting from November 13, 2012 based on the guidelines for bidding on new thermal power generation facilities developed by the Agency for Natural Resources and Energy on September 18, 2012. An orientation for operators will be held on the same day.

Please visit the following webpage to make a reservation for the orientation or for instructions on how to submit an opinion. http://www.tepco.co.jp/kaikaku/ipp

We will make our utmost effort to implement the measures stated in our "Comprehensive Special Business Plan" and promote business reform in collaboration with outside business operators.
