Xxxxx-xx/Footer 13 National Policy Unit East Japan (Tokyo/Tohoku Electric Power Company, Inc. areas)

Midland and West Japan (Chubu/Kansai/Hokuriku/Chugoku/Shikoku/ Kyushu Electric Power Company, Inc. areas)

(1) Implementation of Rolling Blackouts

Unavoidable urgent measures (implemented for ten weekdays during the period from March 14 to 28)

(1) Adversely affect the peoples daily living and industrial activities (2) Not implemented in principle on and after April 8 (2) Supply-demand measures for summer

To suppress the electricity-consumption peaks systematically, restriction on use of electricity was imposed on large-volume-electricity customers.

(1)Demand restriction target was set at 15% reduction for all large-volume customers, small-volume customers and households (effective until September 30)

(Reserve rate*:

Tokyo Electric Power Company, Inc. (TEPCO): -10.3%

Tohoku Electric Power Company, Inc. (Tohoku EPCO): -7.4%)

(2) For large-volume-electricity customers (enterprises with contract for supply of 500kW or more), use of electricity was restricted.

(Tohoku: until September 9, Tokyo: until September 22).

Thanks to cooperation in electricity saving and the relatively low temperature, reduction of over 15%

was realized

(-15.8% in Tohoku and -18.0% in Tokyo at the peak).

• Restriction on the use of electricity in the earthquake-affected area was lifted. (from September 5)

• Restriction on the use of electricity in TEPCO area was lifted earlier than scheduled (September 22 was changed to September 9).

(1) Tight supply-demand balance of electricity

Since electricity utilities were not able to restart nuclear power stations, the supply-demand balance became tight for the entire zone covered by six electricity utilities in Midland and West Japan with a reserve rate of -0.0%

(-6.2% for The Kansai Electric Power Company, Inc.

(KEPCO) in particular).

(2) Measures for balancing supply and demand in summer

Since the call for electricity saving and active interchange of electricity among these utilities were sufficient, electricity-use restriction was not applied.

(1) KEPCO area: Electricity saving by reduction of at least 10% in total was requested (until September 22).

(2) Other electric-power company areas: Electricity saving was requested as far as peoples daily living and economic activities are not hampered (until September 22)

Thanks to the cooperation in electricity saving and to the relatively low temperature, reduction of about 10% was realized.
