Japan capital Tokyo to face tight power supply this summer


TOKYO, April 2 (Xinhua): Japan's Tokyo area is expected to sustain a tight supply-demand situation for electricity this summer, according to projections made by the government.

According to the latest estimates released by the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry, the reserve power supply capacity ratio in the metropolitan area might hit the lowest level for maintaining stable supply by falling to 3 per cent, if the region served by Tokyo Electric Power Company experiences excessive heat on a once-in-a-decade scale in July.
