TEPCO (Tokyo Electric Power Company)

Tokyo Electric Power Company (TEPCO) is Japan's largest electric utility, providing power to the Tokyo metropolitan area and surrounding regions. Established in 1951, it supplies electricity generated from various sources, including nuclear, coal, and renewables. TEPCO became widely known after the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster in March 2011, triggered by a massive earthquake and tsunami, which led to significant radiation leaks and safety concerns. Since then, TEPCO has focused on improving safety protocols and rebuilding trust while navigating financial challenges and transitioning to more sustainable energy sources.
