    Power Outages [Today: Update]

    http://news.xinhuanet.com/english201...c_13783236.htm

    2011-03-17 10:26:26

    TOKYO, March 17 (Xinhua) -- Tokyo Electric Power Co. (TEPCO) cut power in the greater Tokyo area on Thursday for the fourth straight day, in an effort to conserve electricity and avoid a nationwide power outage.

    At some point during the day, around 10 million households will be without electricity for up to 4-hours as the rolling blackouts are staggered through five areas comprising the greater Tokyo and surrounding regions.

    The move is aimed at covering shortfalls in the grid due to power stations faltering following last Friday's devastating earthquake and tsunami.

    Shops have been forced to shut down due to the outages and there have been 120 cases of people being stranded in elevators so far, local media reported.

    Peak demand for power, according to the utility, is between 6 p. m. and 7 p.m., during which time the company said demand will outstrip supply.

    TEPCO's daily capacity is 33 million kilowatts of power and demand tops 38 million kilowatts during the peak times, in the utility's service area.

    The utility said that some areas in the Kanto region, comprising Tokyo, may have to endure two series of blackouts on Thursday due to demand in the area likely spiking as temperatures fall later in the day.

    TEPCO has said the power conservation program will continue until the end of April.
    Still doesn't look good. SE's post only said at the very least it would be 1 week.
    The services will be temporarily suspended for at least a week starting on Mar. 13, 2011 3:00 (PDT). We will provide an update regarding the reinstatement of the service as additional information becomes available.
    Obviously, you can't rush things and SE is just trying to do their part. According to this news though, TEPCO said until the "end of April' (does this imply power outages still?). Does this mean servers could be down for over a month?

    Speculation at this point, but i hope SE can give us an announcement here in the next week or so.

    I wouldn't hold my breath expecting the servers to be up as previously estimated.

    You never know, perhaps they will be relocated after all. Let's just hope the SE team stays safe throughout all of this ^^

    I am trying to find out the same thing. 10 turbine's will help them a lot, not enough to run the country but definitely enough to assist with everything they need constant power to in order to complete the repairs

    It seems the rolling blackouts are only in certain areas? If so maybe SE can just relocate out of the city. It was my impression that the blackouts and power problems mostly affected the eastern areas of Japan. Got me to thinking any one who can get out of the city, business wise, probably will.

    Honestly I think it would be a little easier to move the servers etc from inside the building but hey thats an intriguing idea!
