In the Kanto region, it has been extremely hot on the 27th, and demand for electricity such as the use of air conditioners is increasing.
The government issued the first "Power Supply and Demand Tight Warning" within the jurisdiction of TEPCO, saying that the surplus power supply capacity, the so-called "reserve rate", is expected to fall below 5%, and demanded power saving.
In "City of Securities", Nihonbashi Kabutocho, Tokyo, a large display showing stock prices etc. was turned off to save electricity.
In addition, at the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Office in Shinjuku, a quarter of the elevators in the government building are stopped from 3:00 pm for thinning operation, and the area where staff members work is limited, and there are places where there are no staff members. We are taking measures such as turning off the lights.
