Japan restricts electricity consumption

Japan began restricting electricity consumption in the Tokyo and Tohoku regions, more than three months after a  meltdown of nuclear reactors at the Fukushima Daiichi plant.

The power-saving drive, which for many began shortly after the huge March 11 quake and tsunami but which became official Friday, will last through the peak summer months to September to cut blackout risks after the loss of capacity.

Large companies that violate the decree to cut useage by 15 percent will face fines of up to one million yen or $12,400. Smaller users and households have also been asked to voluntarily cut power use by 15 percent.
