Operadora da usina de Fukushima promete mais eletricidade
15 de abril de 2011 • 12h37 • atualizado as 13h02
A Tokyo Electric Power Co (TEPCO) disse que conseguira fornecer mais eletricidade do que o esperado durante os meses de pico do verao usando turbinas a gas e forca hidreletrica, mas ainda ficara abaixo da demanda projetada.
O Japao luta para atenuar uma falta de energia que pode prejudicar a economia depois que o terremoto devastador seguido de tsunami do mes passado fechou varias usinas nucleares e termicas, incluindo o complexo nuclear de Fukushima Daiichi, operado pela TEPCO.
O maior consumo acontecera durante o verao, quando o uso de ar-condicionado atinge seu pico.
A TEPCO, maior empresa asiatica do genero, disse que agora cre ser capaz de fornecer 52 mil megawatts de potencia ate o final de julho, e nao mais os estimados 46.500 MW de tres semanas atras, mas ainda menos do que a demanda projetada de 55 mil MW. No ultimo verao o consumo de energia chegou a 60 mil MW.
A nova estimativa inclui 4 mil MW de fornecimento hidraulico adicional que sera gerado usando eletricidade excedente durante horas de menor consumo para bombear agua para areas mais altas e mais tarde liberando-a nas horas de pico para produzir eletricidade.
A TEPCO nao incorporou essa capacidade hidraulica em sua estimativa anterior porque grande parte desta foi desqualificada apos o terremoto de 11 de marco, e nao deu uma ideia clara de quanto estara disponivel.
O governo pediu a TEPCO para preparar 50 mil MW para este verao e planejou cobrir a carencia restante de ate 10 mil MW atraves de metas de reducao de energia impostas a comercios e residencias.
A capacidade de geracao da TEPCO deve cair para 50.700 MW ate o final de agosto, mas a empresa cogita outras medidas para elevar o suprimento de energia no verao para 55 mil MW, declarou seu vice-presidente, Takashi Fujimoto, a reporteres.
"Embora a Tokyo Electric tenha feito progressos, a diferenca entre suprimento e demanda nao foi solucionada", disse o secretario-chefe de gabinete Yukio Edano. "Ainda estamos em uma situacao na qual precisamos pedir a cooperacao das pessoas para reduzir o consumo de eletricidade no horario de pico."
Edano disse que a TEPCO precisa fazer tudo que puder para reforcar o suprimento de energia e que solicitou a empresa que relate os resultados novamente no final da semana que vem.
O Japao ja havia anunciado metas de reducao de energia para Toquio e o norte do pais que exigirao que grandes fabricantes e outros consumidores em larga escala cortem o consumo no auge do verao em um quarto em um esforco para evitar a disseminacao de blecautes.
O Ministerio do Comercio tambem pediu cortes de 20 por cento para usuarios da industria de pequena escala servidos pela Tokyo Electric e pela Tohoku Electric Power, ambas atingidas pelo tremor, e de 15 a 20 por cento do consumo domestico.

Fukushima plant’s operator promises more electricity
April 15, 2011 • 12h37 • updated at 13h02
Tokyo Electric Power Co (TEPCO) said it will be able to provide more electricity than expected during the peak summer months of using gas turbines and hydropower, but still would fall short of projected demand.
Japan struggle to alleviate a shortage of energy that can harm the economy after the devastating earthquake followed by tsunami last month’s closed several thermal and nuclear plants, including the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear complex, operated by TEPCO.
Higher consumption will occur during the summer when air conditioning use reaches its peak.
The TEPCO, Asia’s largest gender, said he now believed to be capable of supplying 52,000 megawatts of power by the end of July, and no more than the estimated 46,500 MW of three weeks ago, but still less than the projected demand of 55 thousand MW. Last summer the energy consumption reached 60,000 MW.
The new estimate includes 4000 MW of additional hydraulic supply that will be generated using excess electricity during hours of lower consumption for pumping water to higher ground and later releasing it during peak hours to produce electricity.
The TEPCO has not incorporated the hydraulic capacity of its previous estimate because much of this was disqualified after the earthquake of March 11, and did not give a clear idea of ??what is available.
TEPCO has asked the government to prepare for 50,000 MW this summer and planned to cover the lack of rest until 10 000 MW through energy reduction targets imposed on businesses and residences.
The TEPCO’s generation capacity to drop to 50,700 MW by the end of August, but the company is considering other measures to boost supplies of electricity in summer to 55,000 MW, said its vice president, Takashi Fujimoto, told reporters.
"While the Tokyo El
