Due to the severe heat in the Kanto region and the harshest electricity supply and demand in the last three days, the government continues to issue the "Electricity Supply and Demand Tight Warning" within the jurisdiction of TEPCO on the 29th.
We are seeking to save as much electricity as possible while properly using air conditioners during the longer hours from 3:00 pm to 8:00 pm.
In the Kanto region, the temperature is extremely hot at 35 degrees Celsius or higher, and it is expected that the temperature will rise further in the afternoon, and the demand for electricity such as air conditioning is expected to increase.
The government continues to issue the "Electricity Supply and Demand Tight Warning" issued within the jurisdiction of TEPCO because the electricity supply and demand is severe.
The "reserve rate," which indicates the surplus power supply capacity during the evening hours, was temporarily 2.6%, assuming that it would be after 10 am.
Supply and demand have been the tightest in the last three days.
From 2:00 am to 6:00 pm today, TEPCO is taking measures such as receiving up to 1.15 million kilowatts of electricity from the jurisdiction of ▽ Tohoku Electric Power, ▽ Chubu Electric Power, and ▽ Hokuriku Electric Power.
Even so, the government is demanding as much power as possible during the longer hours from 3:00 pm to 8:00 pm, given that severe power supply and demand is expected.
The government may issue a power supply and demand tight warning if the temperature rises or a power plant trouble occurs, because the demand will increase by about 1.5 million kilowatts even if the temperature rises once more than the power company expected. It is said that.
