Tokyo Electric Power Unit Temporarily Cuts Renewable Energy

A Tokyo Electric Power Co. unit told renewable-energy producers to curtail output for five hours on Sunday, with electricity supply projected to surpass demand.

The suspension is taking place between 11 a.m. and 4 p.m. Tokyo time, Tepco Power Grid Inc. said in a statement. Favorable weather conditions will result in high solar power output during the daytime, while electricity demand is projected to remain low, it said.
