	The Tokyo Electric Power Company, Incorporated Business Information, Profile, and History
		Tokyo Electric Lighting Company, now able to draw power from hydroelectric stations in the hinterland, remained the largest utility in the country even as the number of generating and distribution companies rose from 11 in 1892 to 1,752 by 1915.
		The city of Tokyo was established, and continued to be the capital until it was abolished as a municipality in 1943.
		Tokyo, like Osaka has been designed since about the turn of the century (1900) to be rail-centric, that is centered around major train stations in a high density fashion, so suburban railways were built relatively cheaply at street level.

	PROMOTING DSM WITH THERMAL STORAGE SYSTEMS FOR AIR-CONDITIONING
		For the power industry which is a plant industry, improving annual load factors by regulating the increasing maximum power makes possible a stable energy supply and the lowering of electricity charges by restricting power supply development, restricting plant costs, and also by improving plant operation factors.
		At Tokyo Electric Power, we are actively expanding in DSM activities with the spread and promotion of "thermal storage systems for air-conditioning" as the central point in measures against summer demand which is the main cause of reduced annual load factors.
		These attempts by Tokyo Electric Power however, are also partial trials for energy companies, and in order to actively broaden the effects, social measures are needed to schedule urban planning from the initial stages with thermal storage functions as infrastructure facilities.

	Tokyo Electric Power Mulling Overhauling Rate Structure
		Japanese power suppliers set their electricity rates based on two calculation formats--one that is designed to automatically reflect fuel price fluctuations every three months and the other that fully incorporates various factors.
		Tokyo Electric Power is expected to consider raising its electricity rates by reviewing its guidelines for setting rates to reflect higher fuel costs under the full-fledged calculation format, since its rate hikes have already reached their limits under the quarterly fuel cost adjustment format, the sources said.
		Tokyo Electric Power is also mulling passing growing costs for thermal power generation on to its electricity rates, the source said.
