東電管内、今夕も節電要請　注意報継続、需給なお厳しく―政府

　政府は２８日、東京電力管内で２６日に初めて発令した「電力需給逼迫（ひっぱく）注意報」を継続し、家庭や企業に節電を要請している。火力発電などによる供給力の積み増しで前日の想定より需給はやや改善するとみられるが、夕方の時間帯を中心になお厳しい。冷房を適切に使用して熱中症に注意しつつ、「できる限りの節電」を呼び掛けている。
　萩生田光一経済産業相は２８日の閣議後記者会見で、初の注意報発令について「皆さまのご協力により電力の安定供給が確保できたことに感謝申し上げる」と述べた。その上で、「引き続き電力需給は厳しい。無理のない範囲での節電・省エネに協力をお願いしたい」と呼び掛けた。（2022/06/28-12:51）

The Japanese government kept in place Tuesday its tight power supply advisory for the service area of Tokyo Electric Power Company Holdings Inc. , asking households and businesses to save as much electricity as possible while using air conditioners appropriately to prevent heatstroke.
   The supply-demand balance will remain tight, especially during early-evening hours, although it is expected to improve slightly from the level forecast as of Monday thanks mainly to an increase in supply from thermal power generation. The tight power supply advisory was issued for the first time on Monday.
   At a press conference Tuesday, industry minister Koichi Hagiuda thanked the public and businesses for their cooperation in ensuring stable power supply on Monday. "With the supply-demand balance remaining severe, I ask you to continue cooperation to save electricity within a reasonable range," he added.
   Chief Cabinet Secretary Hirokazu Matsuno told a separate press conference, "We want the public to cooperate in curbing electricity consumption to the extent possible while taking measures against heatstroke, such as properly using air conditioners."
   To ensure stable electricity supply, a power supplier's capacity needs to surpass peak demand by 3 pct or more.
