The government lifted the "Electricity Supply and Demand Tight Warning" issued within the jurisdiction of TEPCO in 30 days.
However, as the electricity supply and demand situation will continue to be severe this summer, we have requested power saving nationwide for the first time in seven years, and are calling for cooperation in power saving within a reasonable range for one to three months.
The government lifted the "Electricity Supply and Demand Tightness Warning" issued within the jurisdiction of TEPCO for four consecutive days, saying that it was aimed at avoiding the tight supply and demand, at 6:00 pm on the 30th.
The intense heat continued for one day in various places, and the "usage rate", which indicates the ratio of demand to the power supply capacity within the TEPCO jurisdiction, was 94% from 10:30 am to 11:00 am. ..
The supply and demand of electricity will be severe in the evening when the sun goes down and the output of solar power generation drops, but the government expects to secure a stable supply by restarting the thermal power plant that had been shut down after the 1st. is.
However, assuming the severe heat of once every 10 years, the reserve rate for this month is expected to be 3.7% within the jurisdiction of each electric power company in Tohoku, Tokyo, Chubu, Hokuriku, Kansai, China, Shikoku, and Kyushu. ..
Although it exceeds the minimum required of 3% for stable supply, the difficult situation continues.
For this reason, the government decided to hold a ministerial meeting last month to request power saving nationwide for the first time in seven years as a measure against the tight supply and demand in the summer.
From the 1st to the end of September, we are calling for cooperation in saving electricity within a reasonable range, such as turning off unnecessary lights while properly using the air conditioner.
