The Tokyo Metropolitan Government has made shareholder proposals to TEPCO, which holds shares, to secure a stable supply of electricity in preparation for tight supply and demand in the summer and winter, and to promote the use of renewable energy for decarbonization. I worked to put in.
The capital holds 1.2% of the shares of TEPCO and made a shareholder proposal for the general meeting of shareholders next month.
Among them, the capital is a operable power plant that has been suspended or shut down because the power supply and demand may be tight this summer or winter due to the effects of the shutdown of the thermal power plant due to the March earthquake. We are strongly working to secure a stable supply of electricity by demanding the restart of the power generation and reliable fuel procurement by securing alternative suppliers.
On the other hand, it is also necessary to maximize the use of renewable energy from the viewpoint of decarbonization and energy security, so priority is given to the creation of storage functions using hydrogen etc. and the power generated by renewable energy. We are proposing to send it to.
This is the first time that the capital has made a shareholder proposal to TEPCO since 2013.
The capital says, "We would like to encourage efforts to increase the ratio of renewable energy in the future while responding to the current tight supply and demand of electricity."
