Summary
Tokyo Electric Power Company Holdings, Incorporated, commonly known as TEPCO, is a Japanese electric utility holding company that serves the Kantō region, Yamanashi Prefecture, and eastern Shizuoka Prefecture, including Tokyo. The company has faced significant challenges, including the 2007 Niigata-Chuetsu-Oki earthquake, which forced the shutdown of its Kashiwazaki-Kariwa Nuclear Power Plant and resulted in TEPCO's first loss in 28 years. More critically, the 2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami led to the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster, one of the most severe nuclear accidents globally. This event caused widespread displacement due to radioactive material leaks and led to TEPCO facing substantial financial losses, estimated at ¥2 trillion (US$23.6 billion) for the business year ending March 2012. To prevent collapse and ensure continued electricity supply to Tokyo and surrounding areas, as well as to manage the decommissioning of the Fukushima Daiichi plant, the Japanese government provided TEPCO with ¥1 trillion (US$12 billion) in July 2012. Subsequently, TEPCO proposed a part-nationalization, and the Nuclear Damage Compensation and Decommissioning Facilitation Corporation became the majority stockholder to oversee the disaster's aftermath and the plant's decommissioning, with the total cost of the disaster estimated at $100 billion by May 2012. TEPCO is also a founding member of energy innovation consortiums like JINED, INCJ, and MAI.

Tokyo Electric Power Company Holdings, Incorporated (Japanese: 東京電力ホールディングス株式会社, Tōkyōdenryoku Hōrudingusu Kabushikigaisha; TEPCO, also known as Tōden (東電) in Japan) is a Japanese electric utility holding company servicing Japan's Kantō region, Yamanashi Prefecture, and the eastern portion of Shizuoka Prefecture. This area includes Tokyo. Its headquarters are located in Uchisaiwaicho, Chiyoda, Tokyo, and international branch offices exist in Washington, D.C., and London. It is a founding member of strategic consortiums related to energy innovation and research; such as JINED, INCJ and MAI. In 2007, TEPCO was forced to shut the Kashiwazaki-Kariwa Nuclear Power Plant after the Niigata-Chuetsu-Oki earthquake. That year, it posted its first loss in 28 years. Corporate losses continued until the plant reopened in 2009. Following the 2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami, one of its power plants was the site of one of the world's most serious nuclear accidents, the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster. TEPCO could face ¥2 trillion (US$23.6 billion) in special losses in the current business year to March 2012, and the Japanese government plans to put TEPCO under effective state control to guarantee compensation payments to the people affected by the accident. The Fukushima disaster displaced 50,000 households in the evacuation zone because of leaks of radioactive materials into the air, soil and sea. In July 2012, TEPCO received ¥1 trillion (US$12 billion) from the Japanese government in order to prevent collapse of the company to ensure electricity is still being supplied to Tokyo and its surrounding municipalities, and decommission the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant. TEPCO's management subsequently made a proposal to its shareholders for the company to be part-nationalized. The Nuclear Damage Compensation and Decommissioning Facilitation Corporation later became the majority stockholder to oversee the damages and decommissioning of the power plant. The total cost of the disaster was estimated at $100 billion in May 2012.
