[Request to Conserve Electricity]

We are currently experiencing an ongoing heatwave.

Accordingly, there is currently a risk that we will run out of electricity due to the extreme rise in demand from air conditioners and other usage.

We request that you try to conserve electricity as much as you can within reason while using your air conditioner to prevent heatstroke.

 Please adjust your air conditioner temperature so that your room temperature will be about 28°C (82°F).

You will feel adequately cool if you also use a fan or circulator.

The cooling effectiveness will be increased if you also block the sunlight using curtains or blinds.

Please change your refrigerator settings from "high" to "medium".

Try not to over stuff your refrigerator.

Please turn off lights, televisions, monitors, and other devices in unoccupied rooms.

Unplug appliances that are not in use.

Please limit the number of times you use appliances that consume a great deal of electricity, such as irons or electric kettles.

The greatest risk of electricity shortage is in the evening. Please try to conserve electricity as much as you can.
