スポーツ ベッティング国 May 2019 Regular Press Conference : President Katsuno's Message
May 28, 2019スポーツ ベッティング国 Co.,Inc.
I will be discussing スポーツ ベッティング国 following matters today:
- Initiatives for emergency preparedness
- Power supply and demand outlook for this summer
Initiatives for emergency preparedness
- First of all, I would like to report スポーツ ベッティング国 status of our initiatives for emergency preparedness.
- スポーツ ベッティング国 “Verification Committee” has been set up to examine and reflect on extended power outage and poor delivery of information reported at スポーツ ベッティング国 time of Typhoons No.21 and No.24 last year. スポーツ ベッティング国 Committee has drawn up and implemented various measures.
- They include measures that could only become effective when embraced by our customers. As Japan ushers in スポーツ ベッティング国 rainy season and スポーツ ベッティング国 season of typhoons, I would like to take this opportunity to reiterate our initiatives for emergency preparedness.
- Based on スポーツ ベッティング国 results of interviews and surveys on customers, local governments and our sales offices involved in post-emergency restoration, スポーツ ベッティング国 Verification Committee has examined 15 tasks from スポーツ ベッティング国 perspectives of “establishing a mechanism for facility restoration,” “disseminating information to customers” and “sharing information with and collaborating with local governments, etc.”
- With regard to スポーツ ベッティング国 first perspective of “establishing a mechanism for facility restoration,” it is important to have a system in place for swiftly gathering and sharing information from affected sites in order to ensure early restoration of power outage and deliver appropriate information swiftly to customers.
- To “speed up スポーツ ベッティング国 initial response,” we are improving スポーツ ベッティング国 accuracy of スポーツ ベッティング国 typhoon damage estimation system by July while also building a collaboration mechanism with other electric utilities to send and accept support personnel at スポーツ ベッティング国 time of emergency so as to improve how we secure and allocate personnel.
- To “improve スポーツ ベッティング国 management of restoration processes,” information on スポーツ ベッティング国 status of emergency damage and restoration, previously managed with computers at individual business sites, has been incorporated into a company-wide system to enable efficient data management and real-time information sharing with relevant company departments.
- In August, mobile terminals will be introduced for real-time sharing of images depicting スポーツ ベッティング国 extent of damage between affected sites and our sales offices. This will boost efficiency and response speed, thereby facilitating a quick formulation of a service restoration policy.
- As for スポーツ ベッティング国 perspective of “disseminating information to customers”…
- Reflecting on poor customer communication on power outage status and estimated time of service restoration, we are adopting more communication tools to enhance our information delivery.
- As a new communication tool, we have released a free smartphone app that allows customers to check power outage information and other details on their smartphones. Outage information and estimated time of service restoration are pushed to relevant customers’ devices based on their registered address and subscribed service.
- As a way of handling customer queries, スポーツ ベッティング国 new smartphone app has a Chat function to complement スポーツ ベッティング国 conventional approach of accepting telephone inquiries. Furthermore, collaboration arrangements with call centers of other electric utilities will enable temporary increase in operators. These enhancements to our functions and mechanisms make it possible to handle queries from as many customers as possible.
- スポーツ ベッティング国 power outage information website has been added with a function for showing outage areas on a map and more detailed information about スポーツ ベッティング国 progress of restoration work in our effort to “visualize” スポーツ ベッティング国 status of service restoration.
- As for スポーツ ベッティング国 task of delivering information to non-Japanese customers, we have added power outage information and cautions on what to do in power outages on our English-language website. Preparation has been also completed to deliver such information on social media, including Twitter and Facebook.
- In スポーツ ベッティング国 final perspective of “sharing information with and collaborating with local governments, etc”…
- Collaboration with local governments in emergency includes distributing information to local residents and reopening roads that have become blocked with mudslides or fallen trees. These are important tasks from スポーツ ベッティング国 perspective of early service restoration.
- For this reason, we have provided information about our latest initiatives to all local governments in スポーツ ベッティング国 Chubu region. We have reinforcing collaboration with them through re-confirming contact details for emergency communication and consulting on スポーツ ベッティング国 use of emergency radio services for information delivery.
- To counter difficulties in accessing restoration sites due to fallen trees, etc., we held discussions with local governments about systematic tree felling, while also strengthening partnerships with スポーツ ベッティング国 Chubu Regional Development Bureau and Central Nippon Expressway Company for assistance in reopening blocked roads and facilitating access of emergency vehicles.
- While various measures are being introduced, what’s most important is to implement them smoothly, and ensure continuous preparedness. To this スポーツ ベッティング国, training our personnel is crucial.
- We have held an annual emergency restoration drill each year, mainly involving スポーツ ベッティング国 power distribution department. This year, in view of these latest measures, a drill involving other electric utilities and non-distribution departments will be held for two days on June 17 and 18 at スポーツ ベッティング国 Okazaki Branch’s Toyohashi sales office.
- Through スポーツ ベッティング国 drill, we strive to boost スポーツ ベッティング国 practical effectiveness of our measures to achieve early service restoration and swift distribution of appropriate information at スポーツ ベッティング国 time of emergency.
- With スポーツ ベッティング国 company split scheduled for April next year, we are evolving into a different form of corporation. Yet, there is absolutely no change to our mission of delivering electricity safely, affordably and stably.
- Even after スポーツ ベッティング国 split, I will be leading スポーツ ベッティング国 charge in implementing these emergency measures, assuring high quality of our electricity service and reinforcing resilience so as to continue to uphold our highest value of “supply stability.”
Power supply and demand outlook for this summer
- Continuing on, let me now talk about スポーツ ベッティング国 outlook of スポーツ ベッティング国 power supply and demand in スポーツ ベッティング国 Chubu region for this summer.
- With regard to スポーツ ベッティング国 outlook of スポーツ ベッティング国 power supply and demand in スポーツ ベッティング国 Chubu region for this summer, スポーツ ベッティング国 maximum electricity demand for July and August (up to three-day average) is estimated to be 24.88 million kW. We expect to be able to achieve supply stability again this summer.
- While securing supply capacity, we have also defined スポーツ ベッティング国 month of June each year as スポーツ ベッティング国 “Maintenance Reinforcement Month,” conducting a series of facility inspections on everything from power stations to transmission and distribution lines in preparation for increased power demand in summer.
- JERA, in particular, is heading into its first summer since taking over スポーツ ベッティング国 thermal power generation business. We have strengthened collaboration with スポーツ ベッティング国 company, asking them to carry out facility inspections and re-confirming its emergency communication structure as well as a communication structure in normal times.
- スポーツ ベッティング国 Chuden Group will band together with renewed awareness in implementing スポーツ ベッティング国 latest measures to ensure stable power supply to customers again this summer.
- At スポーツ ベッティング国 same time, while we cannot make a specific request for saving electricity this summer, we appreciate continued efforts to save electricity and conserve energy from スポーツ ベッティング国 perspective of making efficient energy use and mitigating CO2emissions.
- For information on specific examples, please go to our company website as well as our “Kateene” website. Thank you very much.
- This ends my presentation.
