It is expected that it will snow in a wide area of Kanto Koshin on the 10th, and the supply and demand of electric power is expected to be extremely severe 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.
Due to the effects of low pressure and cold air, it is expected that it will snow and the temperature will drop on the 10th in a wide area of Kanto Koshin, and the demand for electricity is expected to increase as the use of heating increases within the jurisdiction of TEPCO.
As of 3:00 pm on the 9th, the "utilization rate", which indicates the ratio of demand to the power supply capacity, is expected to be extremely severe at 97% at the peak on the 10th.
On the 6th of last month, the demand for electric power increased due to the severe cold in the jurisdiction of TEPCO, 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.
TEPCO is in discussions with the OCCTO, which regulates the supply and demand of electricity nationwide in order to secure supply capacity on the 10th, and if it becomes tighter than expected, it will promptly accommodate electricity. I am requesting it.
