Recent steam coal market and concept of our coal procurement

摘要

I am Watari of the Tokyo Electric Power Company. Today, I would like to explain the update of our coal facilities and my observation of recent steam coal market. After that, I would like to give a talk about the concept of our coal procurement with some personal opinions of mine. First of all, I would like to talk about the problems at our nuclear power plants. As you are aware, our company has shut down our nuclear units one by one for the periodical inspection and equipment check since problems with inspection work at our nuclear power plants was disclosed about last year, and fell into an unheard-of situation that all of our nuclear units were shut down on April 15.
