global conditions surrounding energy and energy supply structure of Principally in Asia, but the energy demands of the world are expected to rise rapidly to about 1. 3 times the current amounts by 2030. The energy supply structure will be hard pressed, due to the intensification of the competition to acquire resources among the countries of consumption, such as China. Japan has the lowest self sufficiency rate among the major industrialized nations. (Petroleum equivalent in million tons) Outlook of global energy Overall Approx. 1. 3 times International comparison of energy self sufficiency rates (FY 2009) Others Africa India Approx. 1. 9 times Middle East * The self sufficiency rate is for instances where atomic power is imported.

Japan’s Energy Efficiency Policy ① Factories/Offices * <Regulations> in each factories/offices - Energy Management System - Energy Managers saving-energy experts assigned mandatory - Reporting of Energy Consumption to the Gov. * Chain-Stores included → expansion of coverage
Encouraging Energy Management System Energy managers must be assigned in every factory/ office with a certain quantity of energy consumption. Encouraging their management by awarding best practices
② Transportation <Regulations> - Carriers, Consigners - Setting higher fuel efficiency standard <Voluntary Action> - “Eco Drive”, “Idling Stop” method of driving
③ Houses/Buildings <Regulations> - Constructors, Retailers
④ Automobiles/Electronics <Regulations> - “Top Runner” Program

Impact on Energy Supply/Demand in Japan Tokyo Electric Power Company supplies electricity to an area with 42 million people and 40% of Japan’s GDP, but lost 40% of its generation capacity after the earthquake and tsunami. 33 GW (Apr. 15) 49 GW 46 GW (Aug. 18) (Jul. 15) 42 GW (Jun. 28) Peak Demand of the Month in 2010 Peak Demand of the Month in 2011 Supply Capacity of TEPCO in 2011 15
Supply–Demand Measures for last Summer Major measures taken regarding demand to secure the supply-demand balance during this summer are as follows: Large-volume-electricity customers (enterprises with contract for supply of 500 k. W or more) (1) Voluntary formulation and implementation of plans for suppressing the power consumption in the peak time zone (2) Application of Article 27 of the Electricity Business Act (Restriction on Use of Electricity) Small-volume-electricity customers (enterprises with contract for supply below 500 k. W) (1) Presentation of examples of electricity-saving measures (2) Encouragement of formulation and announcement of voluntary electricity-saving action plans (3) Electricity-saving supporters’ visits Households (1) Presentation of examples of electricity-saving measures (2) Request for electricity saving through media (3) Distribution of “Electricity-saving education” materials to elementary and junior high schools Approaches across several fields (1)Development of electricitysaving campaign (2) Thorough visualization of electricity supply–demand data (“Denki Yoho (Electricity Forecast)”) (3) “Tight supply-demand balance alert” to notify the tight supply-demand balance (1) Urgent electricity-saving request was made when there was a concern for rolling blackout implementation (2) Information provision via TV, radio, mobile phones, and disaster-prevention public address system 16
Supply Measures last Summer The measures taken regarding supply for ensuring a supply-demand balance this summer were mainly as follows: *Service Areas of Tokyo Electric Power Co. (TEPCO) and Tohoku EPCO Power Co. The decrease of electricity supply capacity of TEPCO and Tohoku EPCO due to the effects of earthquake and tsunami ・・▲ 26 million k. W [Measures taken by the Government] (1) Approach for relaxing some regulations e. g. ; Periodic inspection of thermal power generation stations under the Electricity Business Act shall be allowed to be postponed for one year at most. (2) Promoting introduction of private power generation plants and decentralized generation plants [Measures taken by the utilities] (3) Restoration of the disaster-affected thermal power stations (4) Restart of thermal power stations that have been stopped for a long time (5) Installation of urgent power supply (gas turbines etc. ) *(4) &(5): on the basis of installed capacity The decrease of supply capacity ▲ 26 million k. W - The supplement supply capacity owing mainly to the above supply measures (1) - (5) +20. 5 million k. W = 5. 5 million k. W 17
Measures for Balancing Supply and Demand for this Winter 1. This winter, we would like to request electricity saving to keep an appropriate supply–demand balance and avoid restriction of electricity use or implementation of rolling blackouts. On the basis of the summary of this summer, we would like to make a request for electricity saving within the scope where enterprises can minimize the impact on production and operation. 2. We are still examining the supply-demand balance for this winter, but it is estimated that the balance will be tight in the Kansai and Kyushu Electric Power Company areas with a high ratio of nuclear power generation. 3. “Electricity Supply-Demand Measures for this winter” is released on 1 st of November , 2011.
