The people of Tohoku, the northern part of Japan's main island, rely on Tohoku Electric Power for their electricity needs. Founded in 1951, the company produces power primarily through its thermal, hydroelectric, and nuclear power plants, although it is also developing solar and power plants to cut carbon emissions. Overall it has a generating capacity of almost 17,000 MW. Tohoku Electric Power, one if Japan's top electric utilities, delivers electricity to some 7.7 million residential and business customers. Deregulation measures in Japan have led the company to enter new markets, including wholesale gas marketing and LNG supply. The company also has construction, telecommunications, and other operations.
