Kunitachi City “UnTEPCO”, Switching Power Supply Source.

Kunitachi City switched its electric power source of the City Hall, Community Center, Schools, etc., totaling in 20 locations, from TEPCO to small business “Ennet” (headquarter: Minato Ward).

Affected by the accident of TEPCO’s Fukushima Daiich Nuclear Power Plant, the City made a decision in September to select a new electric power supply business through a bidding process. A general competitive call to bid was published in October only to the businesses that passed the City’s environmental impact criteria including greenhouse gas emission ratings, and Ennet, a company funded by Tokyo Gas Company among others, won. Four businesses competed, and the Ennet’s unit price came the lowest.

The City’s annual savings through this change is estimated to be about $20,000 in a total electric power cost of these 20 facilities. The contract runs from November to the end of next October.

La ville de Kunitachi “dé-TEPCOisée” grâce à un changement de fournisseur d’électricité.

La ville de Kunitachi a changé sa source d’alimentation électrique pour l’Hôtel de Ville, le Centre communautaire, les écoles, etc. Un total de 20 sites sont passés de TEPCO à la petite entreprise “Ennet” (siège: Minato Ward).

Touchés par l’accident de la centrale nucléaire de TEPCO à Fukushima Daiichi , la Ville a pris la décision en Septembre de sélectionner un nouveau fournisseur d’alimentation électrique à travers un processus d’enchères. Un appel d’offres général a été publié en Octobre, destiné uniquement aux entreprises répondant aux critères de la Ville, y compris sur l’impact environnemental des émissions de gaz à effet de serre, et Ennet, une société financée entre autres par Tokyo Gas Company, l’a remporté. Quatre entreprises y ont participé, et le prix unitaire de l’entreprise Ennet s’est avéré le plus bas.

Les économies annuelles de la Ville à travers ce changement sont estimées à environ 20.000 dollars pour la consommation totale d’électricité de ces 20 installations. Le contrat va de Novembre à la fin du mois d’Octobre de l’année prochaine.

About this site

This website updates the latest news about the Fukushima nuclear plant and also archives the past news from 2011. Because it's always updated and added live, articles, categories and the tags are not necessarily fitted in the latest format.
I am the writer of this website. About page remains in 2014. This is because my memory about 311 was clearer than now, 2023, and I think it can have a historical value. Now I'm living in Romania with 3 cats as an independent data scientist.
Actually, nothing has progressed in the plant since 2011. We still don't even know what is going on inside. They must keep cooling the crippled reactors by water, but additionally groundwater keeps flowing into the reactor buildings from the broken parts. This is why highly contaminated water is always produced more than it can circulate. Tepco is planning to officially discharge this water to the Pacific but Tritium is still remaining in it. They dilute this with seawater so that it is legally safe, but scientifically the same amount of radioactive tritium is contained. They say it is safe to discharge, but none of them have drunk it.
