The Tokyo Electric Power Company (TEPCO)
Tokyo Electric Power Company (TEPCO) is Japan's largest electric utility, responsible for generating and distributing electricity primarily in the Tokyo area. It operates nuclear, thermal, and hydroelectric power plants to meet energy demands. TEPCO plays a critical role in providing reliable power to millions of households and businesses.
