The day`s outages from around 9:20 a.m. are planned to continue until 10 p.m. and affect some 10 million houses in four of the five designated zoning groups, after one of the groups was spared from 6:20 a.m. as supply was still sufficient, the utility said.
TEPCO said later in the morning that no further disruptions of three hours and 40 minutes each will be added to the day`s plan.
The firm predicts 37 million kilowatts of demand at peak hour against its capacity of 35.5 million kilowatts for the day.(*)
