Press Releases 2013

At 5:59 AM on October 13 (Sun.), the power generation was suspended at Unit 2 in Hirono Thermal Power Station^*1 owned by TEPCO, due to the lower pressure for oil pump to seal up the hydrogen gas for the generator cooling.

We will conduct inspection to specify the cause, and repair the facility.

We will supply 41.29GW today and the operating rate is estimated to reach 86%.
