北陸電、停電ほぼ復旧　電力各社が支援、道路寸断課題も―能登地震

　北陸電力は３１日、能登半島地震で約１カ月にわたり続いていた停電が、立ち入りが困難な一部地域を除き「おおむね復旧した」と発表した。電力各社は延べ約４６００人を派遣し、復旧作業を支援。一方、土砂崩れなどで道路の被害が大きい石川県輪島市や珠洲市では完全復旧に時間がかかる見通しで、約２５００戸で停電が続いている。
　北陸電管内では１月１日の発災後、最大約４万戸超の停電が発生した。北陸電は、３１日時点で輪島市や珠洲市でも「約９割に電気を届けられている」と説明している。（2024/01/31-17:21）

Hokuriku Electric Power Co. said Wednesday that electricity has been "mostly restored" after a month of outages caused by the massive earthquake that struck the Noto Peninsula in central Japan on Jan. 1.
   Restoration efforts have been aided by a total of about 4,600 personnel dispatched from power companies across the country.
   In Hokuriku Electric's service area, more than 40,000 houses were temporarily without power following the New Year's Day quake.
   About 2,500 houses are still without electricity, as it is expected to take more time to fully restore electricity in the cities of Wajima and Suzu, Ishikawa Prefecture, where roads were severely damaged by landslides.
   Even in the hardest-hit cities, about 90 pct of houses had power as of Wednesday, Hokuriku Electric said.
