TEPCO Has Excess Winter Capacity, Restarts Serve Only Business Interests 東電には余剰電力があり、再稼動の必要性がない。再稼動させる理由は東電の利益のみ。

In this report to METI TEPCO admits that with all of their nuclear plants offline they have excess power generation capacity for the winter. This admission shows that the restart of Kashiwazaki Kariwa would be solely for TEPCO’s benefit and not due to any actual power demand in the region.
This makes the push to restart Kashiwazaki Kariwa purely a political and money making strategy, not a public need. Operating Kashiwazaki Kariwa was conceived as an idea to attempt to fund the increasing costs of the Fukushima nuclear disaster. Under this plan hatched by the Noda administration, banks were willing to lend TEPCO money hoping the company would become profitable in the future. Restarting Kashiwazaki Kariwa would only serve TEPCO’s business needs.

*Editor's note: In 2007 Niigata Chuetsu Oki earthquake M6.8 caused the Kashiwazaki Kariwa nuclear plant accident.  There was a report which said active faults were found even before the construction of the plant.
