Tokyo Electric Power (東京電力; Tōkyō denryōku) is a company that supplies power to Tokyo and its surronding area. It is the largest in Japan as well as in Asia.
The company has 17 nuclear power plans and operates many of them depending on demands. In April 2003, the Japanese government ordered it to shut all of its nuclear reactors for safety checks after false safety documents are found.

TokyoElectric Lighting Company, now able to draw power from hydroelectric stations in the hinterland, remained the largest utility in the country even as the number of generating and distribution companies rose from 11 in 1892 to 1,752 by 1915.
The city of Tokyo was established, and continued to be the capital until it was abolished as a municipality in 1943.
Tokyo, like Osaka has been designed since about the turn of the century (1900) to be rail-centric, that is centered around major train stations in a high density fashion, so suburban railways were built relatively cheaply at street level.
TokyoElectricPower (東京電力; Tōkyō denryoku or TEPCO) is a company that supplies electricpower to Tokyo, the surrounding Kanto region, Yamanashi Prefecture, and eastern Shizuoka Prefecture.
The company generates most of its electricity at fossil fuel power plants.
In addition, it generates lesser amounts of power at hydroelectric plants and has wind power and geothermal installations on remote Hachijojima.
