Kepco stopped 8 thermal power plants for the oversupply of electricity to restart Ohi nuclear plant

As the reason to restart Ohi nuclear plant, Kepco and Japanese government pointed out the risk of power shortage, but Kepco stopped 8 thermal power plants after Ohi restart and the total power output decreased.
Kepco and Japanese government’s explanation turned out to be a lie.

They were deceived who thought the restart of Ohi nuclear is necessary to avoid power shortage again.

Kepco restarted Ohi nuclear plant unit3 on 7/1/2012.[Link] It started full operation on 7/9/2012, then Kepco stopped 8 thermal power plants on the same day.

However, the power output of Ohi nuclear plant is 1.18 million kW, where the total power output of 8 thermal power plants is 3.84 million kW. After restarting a nuclear plant and shutting down 8 thermal power plants, the total power supply decreased.

1.18 – 3.84 = -2.66 million kW

Spokes man of Kepco Kyoto branch stated they shut down those 8 thermal power plants because they have oversupply of power for the question of Kyoto labor’s union.
However, Kepco is still suggesting the possibility of planned power outage, asking Osaka citizens to save electricity. The reason is not explained.

火電停止は電力余剰だった! 関電京都支店広報が明かす

関西電力が火力発電8基を停止させたのは、原発再稼働により電力に余りがあるためだった─こんな事実が11日、関電京都支店の総務・広報グループの担当者の発言で明らかになりました。

同日、京都自治労連(池田豊委員長)が行った関電京都支店への要請で関電側が回答しました。自治労連側が火力発電の停止について問いただしたのに対し、電力需要に合わせて停止したもので、原発再稼働を受けて停止したものもあると発言しました。

関電は大飯原発3号機が9日にフル稼働し、同日に火力発電所8基を停止させていました。同社は、原発の再稼働以降も計画停電の可能性があるとして、府民に節電を呼びかけています。

 

 

  1. Wow, I’m really starting to think, that this might turn in to a revolution, though I’m not certain what is the preferred way of taking final care of traitors in Japan.

  2. There is no power shortage in supply, period. Even without nuclear power generation, capacity is twice that of current consumption. Solely with conventional thermal power generation capacity, it is 1.6 times the current consumption. At 65 percent capacity factor it will cover current annual consumption with buffer to spare.

  3. I knew it. I’ve been thinking that they make a lot more reactors that anyone actually needs, because they just want to make money from selling the technology.

    Sadly, any time I tell anyone about the dangers of nuclear tech, I still get stupid replies like, “we need the power!” and “I don’t want to go backwards!”

    We’re definitely going backwards as radiation from nuclear tech gradually destroys billions of years of global genetic development. But they say they don’t care about that because it won’t happen in their life time. Humans!

  4. The figures I stated are not for Ohi. It is for the whole of Japan. Iori can arrive at more or less the same figures I have and conclusion. It is straight from Japanese statistics.

  5. Its a brilliant scam. Keep charging the public to build more and more power plants for a “desperate shortage” while not actually using the plants the country has, in order to create the “desperate shortage”. When ordinary citizens do that sort of thing its called fraud and they go to jail. When the electricity industry does that, they make a fortune and place their people in key government roles. The blood of the Japanese victims of Fukushima is on their hands. They should be tried for their crimes.

  6. One reason, perhaps the main reason, npps are operated and subsidized is the manifacturing of plutonium.
    Generating electricity appears to be a side business.

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.
