Japan lifted a power-supply warning for Tokyo and surrounding areas on Wednesday as supply stabilised, a day after the government had warned of possible blackouts in the aftermath of an earthquake last week.
, which powers the capital and its surrounding areas, had warned that as many as 3 million households could lose power in the evening on Tuesday, Japan managed to avert any serious power outages.With thermal power stations halted due to a quake that shook the northeastern coast of Japan last week and unseasonably cold weather hitting Tokyo, the government had called for saving electricity from early in the morning on Tuesday.
It renewed the plea in the afternoon, however, warning of potential power outages if consumers continued to use energy. "We weren't achieving the targets between 08:00 to 15:00 and we felt the situation was risky. That was why we asked for help from the trade ministry and asked for the minister to call on further energy-saving measures," a Tepco official said on Wednesday.
"We were able to achieve this level from 15:00 because everyone responded to the pleas to cut back on energy usage, and all we feel right now is gratitude," the official added., but that warning was lifted late on Tuesday.Reporting by Sakura Murakami; Editing by Jacqueline Wong and Muralikumar AnantharamanSubscribe to our sustainability newsletter to make sense of the latest ESG trends affecting companies and governments.
