TOKYO — Tokyo Electric Power Co said Tuesday it supplied the largest amount of power for this summer in the afternoon due to scorching heat but without resorting to an emergency measure to cut electricity to large-lot users.
 
With demand for power to operate air conditioners soaring, Tokyo Electric supplied 60.13 million kilowatts in Tokyo and its vicinity from 2 p.m. until 3 p.m., the largest hourly supply this summer.
