The Tokyo Electric Power Company (TEPCO) is a major electric utility provider in Japan, primarily serving the Kanto region, which includes Tokyo. Established in 1951, TEPCO generates and distributes electricity to millions of households and businesses. The company operates several power plants, including nuclear, thermal, and renewable energy facilities. TEPCO gained international attention following the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster in March 2011, which was triggered by a massive earthquake and tsunami. The incident raised concerns about nuclear safety and led to significant changes in Japan's energy policies, as well as increased scrutiny of TEPCO's operations and management practices.
