On the 10th, the supply and demand of electricity is expected to become severe due to the effects of snow and cold within the jurisdiction of TEPCO.
TEPCO is calling for the efficient use of electricity within the range that does not interfere with daily life, such as turning off the electricity and heating in unused rooms.
According to TEPCO, the "usage rate", which indicates the ratio of demand to the power supply capacity on the 10th, is expected to be 96% at peak hours from 7:00 am to 8:00 am and from 9:00 am to 10:00 am, and the supply and demand is severe. It is expected to be.
Within the jurisdiction of TEPCO, power demand increased due to the severe cold on the 6th of last month, and for the first time this winter, we received power interchange from four companies, Hokkaido Electric Power, Tohoku Electric Power, Chubu Electric Power, and Kansai Electric Power.
For this reason, TEPCO will promptly request the interchange of electric power if it is tighter than expected even on the 10th.
We also encourage people to use electricity efficiently as long as it does not interfere with their daily lives, such as turning off the electricity and heating in unused rooms.
