Challenges of TEPCO
TEPCO and Nuclear Power Generation
TEPCO aims to be a nuclear power operator worthy of the trust and confidence of all our stakeholders, and is committed to contributing to a low-carbon society by promoting the operations of eco-friendly nuclear power plants.
TEPCO's nuclear power station
Nuclear power generation is an outstanding power generation method in terms of stability, environmental performance, and economic efficiency. TEPCO operates 17 nuclear reactors with a total capacity of 17.308 GW at the Fukushima Daiichi, Fukushima Daini, and Kashiwazaki-Kariwa Nuclear Power Stations. These power stations supply roughly 27% of all power generated by TEPCO.
There are plans for the construction of two additional reactors, Units No. 7 and 8, at the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station, and preparations for the construction of the new Higashidori Nuclear Power Station (Aomori Prefecture) is currently underway.
We will continue promoting nuclear power generation, while placing top priority on ensuring safety.
