Minister of Economy, Trade and Industry Hagiuda held an urgent press conference and said that the target amount of power saving was not reached within the jurisdiction of TEPCO, and if this situation continues, a power outage may occur, and it is 3:00 pm for companies and households. I strongly requested another power saving from 8:00 pm.
The government has already said that it is necessary to reduce power consumption by about 10%, but has called for stronger power saving, saying that an additional 5% reduction is necessary.
