Concerning power failures due to the earthquake  

On March 11th (Friday) 14:46 there was a major earthquake with an epicenter off the Sanriku Coastline. Due to this electric power is suspended. Right now, we are working towards restoring electric power, but the extent of damage is very big, and it is very hard to predict when we will be able to restore power.

 

We are expecting it to take some time to repair the damage to our power plants.  Therefore even if you become able to use electric power we ask you to use as little electricity as possible. Please cooperate with us in conserving electric power.

 

When electric power is restored, in order to prevent secondary fires from electrical leakage we will not send electric power to customers if their house has collapsed, they are absent, or if the safety of the internal wiring of the house has not been confirmed.

We ask for your cooperation in the following points.

In order to prevent electric shock accidents and electrical fires, we ask you to please read and follow the instructions listed below.

 

-Due to the risk of electric shock, we ask you not to approach or touch broken electric wires.

-In order to prevent secondary fires due to electrical leakage, we ask you to please turn off the breaker on your house’s electrical panel whenever you leave your house. Also, if electric water heaters or heat storage type electrical heaters have fallen over, please do not touch them and turn off the specific breaker.

-When you return to your house, please check the situation inside before turning the breaker back on. If there is no electricity after turning on the breaker, please contact the Tohoku Electric Power Control Center at Tel: (0120-175-366).
