its 4:44am in Japan right now, so hopefully by about 10am JST we should know more
Im guessing they might be waiting on some confirmation from the power company before they can make an informed decision so I wouldn't be too dissapointed if its quiet for a while. I think they might be cautious about starting back up if they can't guarentee they can stay up. Fingers crossed for a resumption of game-tastic grind-festive gobby bashing, but only if there is enough electricity to go around.
Waiting with bated breath. Maybe I will go get pol up to first page! <twitch>
Thanks Haglaz for the TEPCO release. PDF is here, has links to the group details and weekly schedule:

REALLY wish they would get going with all the supplemental power sources I keep hearing about so these things could STOP....

Sorry RAIST any idea which group SE falls into?
they've started posting a graph of the actual power demand, looks like it's supposed to update periodically:

Hard to say with absolute certainty which block might affect SE, if at all. Tokyo shows up in blocks 2, 3, and 4. Think Hamura City is a bit north and west of roughly where SE is, and that's in block 3, and Chiba Prefect is kind of close to Tokyo too, and that prefect is split up on 1, 2, and 3. So, if I had to guess I would expect SE to be most affected by block 3, but it's just guessing without really knowing the area.

power demands are increasing...approaching last year's figures and looks like they may not be able to meet the demand. A revised blackout schedule may be coming around noon JST.

May be some trouble in the electronics sector if this drags out too much longer:
http://www.eweek.com/c/a/IT-Infrastr...Report-392458/Japan's earthquake has suspended 25 percent of the global production of silicon wafers, according to a new research report, perhaps impacting semiconductors.
Banks are shutting down ATM's to try to conserve additional power...some may be back on after noon.
Train schedules being shuffled as well to try to compensate for demand...but it may cause trouble with rush hour. It's going to be tight as businesses are trying to get started back up and more people trying to use transit services for the first time in a week.
Municiple buildings being cleared to provide more shelter for evacuees. Room for 3-4000 more people expected to open today.
