The Tokyo Electric Power Company, Inc. (TEPCO) today submitted the "Scoping Document 
concerning the Environmental Impact Assessment for the Installation Plan for the 
Kawasaki Thermal Power Station Group 2 Units 2 and 3" (hereinafter "the Scoping 
Document") to the Minister of Economy, Trade and Industry. The document explains 
survey, prediction and evaluation methods to be used for the assessment of the 
environmental impact of installing the Kawasaki Thermal Power Station Group 2 Units 
2 and 3. Its copies were sent to the Governor of Kanagawa, the Governor of Tokyo, the 
Mayor of Kawasaki, the Mayor of Yokohama, the Mayor of Shinagawa, and the Mayor of Ota.

The technology we plan to introduce to the Kawasaki Thermal Power Station Group 2 
Units 2 and 3, for which the Scoping Document was submitted, is a combined-cycle 
power generation system called "MACC II ." By employing a gas turbine combustion 
temperature of 1,600°C, it delivers the world's highest thermal efficiency of about 
61%, which is above TEPCO's previous maximum thermal efficiency of about 59%.

Pursuant to Article 7 of the Environmental Impact Assessment Law, this Scoping 
Document will be made available for public inspection from September 4 to October 5 
at administrative agencies, as well as at TEPCO's Kanagawa branch, Kawasaki branch 
office, and Kawasaki Thermal Power Station, in order to solicit public comments.

TEPCO will steadily carry out the plan according to instructions by the Ministry of 
Economy, Trade and Industry and other authorities, while listening to opinions of 
local people.
