Tohoku Electric Power lost 400 megawatts of power output due to extended work on a turbine at its gas-fired 1,700-MW Higashi-Niigata plant.
The unit is expected to resume full operations around Dec. 1, after it replaces a turbine wing at the No.4 series unit.
The company resumed getting surplus power, totalling 700 MW, from neighboring utilities Tokyo Electric Power Co and Hokkaido Electric Power Co for the first time since the summer, as power demand spiked due to chilly winter weather.
