The government will continue to issue the "Electricity Supply and Demand Tight Warning", saying that the electricity supply and demand is expected to become severe on the 28th due to the continued severe heat within the jurisdiction of TEPCO.
We are seeking to save as much electricity as possible while paying close attention to heat stroke and using air conditioners properly.
As the heat continues to be severe in the Kanto region, the government issued the first "Power Supply and Demand Tight Warning" within the jurisdiction of TEPCO, and on the 27th, called on households and businesses to save as much electricity as possible.
According to TEPCO, on the 27th, supply increased due to a decrease in demand, which is thought to be an effect of power saving, and power interchange from other power companies, and the tension was avoided.
The end of the rainy season has been announced in the Kanto region, and severe heat is expected in various parts of the country on the 28th, so the government will continue to issue a "power supply and demand tight warning" within the jurisdiction of TEPCO.
From 3:00 pm to 6:00 pm, especially from 4:00 pm to 5:00 pm, we are paying close attention to heat stroke because the power supply and demand is severe, and we are seeking as much power saving as possible while using air conditioners properly.
In response to the difficult situation, JERA, a thermal power generation company invested by TEPCO, will move the thermal power plant in Chiba prefecture, which was scheduled to resume operation on July 1st this Friday, ahead of schedule on the 29th, but it will not be in time for the 28th. Hmm.
According to TEPCO, electricity demand is expected to reach a high level, which is rare for this period, on the 28th as the historic heat continues.
It is likely that severe power supply and demand will continue while keeping an eye on changes in temperature, as demand will increase by about 1.5 million kilowatts even if the temperature rises once more than the power company expected.
