TEPCO to Begin Internal Survey of Fukushima No. 1 Reactor 2 on the 2nd, Deploying Robotic Arm
Tokyo Electric Power Company announced on the 1st that it will begin an internal survey of the containment vessel at Fukushima No. 1 nuclear plant's Reactor 2 on the 2nd, deploying a robotic arm inside. The deployment had been stalled due to a malfunction in the robotic arm. The survey is scheduled to start on the morning of the 2nd, with the robotic arm inserted through a penetration port in the containment vessel, aiming to acquire three-dimensional data of the interior and collect melted nuclear fuel, so-called debris. The survey period is expected to last about six months.

JERA and partners to build one of Japan's largest AI data centers at Chiba thermal power plant, targeting operation around 2028
JERA, equally owned by Tokyo Electric Power Group and Chubu Electric Power, and its partners announced on the 1st that they will build a data center for artificial intelligence at the company's Chiba thermal power plant. The power capacity indicating its scale will be up to 400,000 kilowatts, making it one of the largest single-site facilities in Japan. The project envisions a total investment of 15 billion dollars, or about 2.3 trillion yen, with operation targeted to begin around 2028. JERA, major U.S. IT equipment maker Dell Technologies, and British data center developer Realm signed a memorandum of understanding the same day to accelerate AI infrastructure development. This data center project is the first step, and by attaching a data center on the power plant site and supplying electricity directly, large-scale transmission equipment becomes unnecessary and earlier operation becomes possible.

October Electricity Rates Hit Record High for Japan's 10 Major Power Utilities as Government Subsidies End
Japan's 10 major power utilities announced on the 29th their electricity rates for October usage, billed in November, with all companies raising prices from the previous month and the monthly bill for a standard household set to hit a record high. The main cause is the end of government subsidies that had cut rates by 3.50 yen per kilowatt-hour, or roughly 800 to 900 yen a month, while energy prices remain elevated amid turmoil in the Middle East, pushing the increase for a standard household to a wide range of 835 to 1,578 yen. Because part of November falls within the applicable period, the increase also reflects a revision to transmission fees, the charge for using power lines, that took effect on November 1. The largest increase is Okinawa Electric Power's 1,578 yen, and the company's monthly bill of 10,752 yen will also be the highest. Tokyo Electric Power's bill will rise by 1,286 yen to 9,561 yen.

TEPCO begins fourth release of treated water this fiscal year at Fukushima Daiichi
Tokyo Electric Power Company began the fourth release of treated water containing the radioactive substance tritium from the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant into the ocean on the 30th. About 7,800 tonnes will be diluted with seawater and discharged through an undersea tunnel to a point roughly one kilometre offshore by the 17th of next month. The treated water releases began in August 2023, and this marks the 22nd release overall. It is part of a plan to discharge approximately 62,400 tonnes in eight batches this fiscal year. Measurements by TEPCO and the government so far show that tritium concentrations in seawater and marine products are well below national standards.

JERA Begins Study on Potential US Listing to Accelerate Overseas Expansion
Japan's largest power generation company, JERA, has begun a study exploring a potential listing on the US market, according to people familiar with the matter. The company is equally owned by Tokyo Electric Power Company Holdings and Chubu Electric Power, and is planning an initial public offering.
