TEPCO Rate Hike Plan Criticized by Users Users of Tokyo Electric Power Co. criticized the power company’s plan to increase household electricity rates, in a public hearing held by the industry ministry on Thursday. Many users said TEPCO should cancel its rate increase plan and promote cost cuts. In an afternoon session, Shinichi Aida, mayor of Moriya, Ibaraki Prefecture, northeast of Tokyo, said that users are not convinced by arguments that a rate increase is necessary to cover losses. Many participants voiced opposition to TEPCO’s plan to reactivate its Kashiwazaki-Kariwa nuclear power plant in Niigata Prefecture, central Japan, in fiscal 2013 that begins next April. A representative from a consumer group said that nuclear safety is impossible, adding that restarting nuclear reactors should not be accepted. Source: JiJi Press |
