Please save as much power as possible to avoid brownouts.

As Japan continues to deal with last year’s energy crisis, Tokyo residents are again being asked to conserve energy in July and August to avoid brownouts.

Last year in June, when eastern Japan had a record heat wave past 40C, Japan asked those living and working in and around Tokyo, to use less electricity.

Although there is no specific numerical target for energy savings needed, it is feared that TEPCO’s power reserve ratio might drop close to 3 percent, the minimum level considered necessary for a stable power supply.

“An accumulation of small efforts will have a great effect in saving electricity,” industry minister Yasutoshi Nishimura said at a press conference.

“We will ask for efforts to save electricity while being careful not to get heatstroke,” he said.
