METI, Minister of Economy, Trade and Industry, inspected the situation in Minamiboso City, Chiba Prefecture, where power outages continued due to the impact of Typhoon No. 15, and told reporters that many power poles collapsed, causing power outages to be prolonged. Based on this, the idea of revising the standard of wind strength that can be withstood by utility poles was renewed.
According to the reporters interviewed in front of the convenience store of the local inspection destination, Mr. Hagiwara said, “The review of the standards of towers and poles is based on the fact that many power poles have collapsed as a factor that has caused a prolonged power outage. `` I want to fully investigate the cause and take a system to protect people's lives and lives, '' and renewed the idea of revising the standard of wind strength that can be withstood by utility poles. .
On the other hand, Mr. Sugawara said that TEPCO initially showed the prospect of full recovery at an early stage, “I think it must be said that the idea was sweet. I should say exactly how long it will take to recover, and I will have to save it from now on. "
The reporter also asked if the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry established the power outage countermeasures headquarters on the 13th of this month. "I'm going to do as quickly as possible. I haven't imagined that it would be so long, and I will do my best to avoid delays in the future."
