#Japan #Earthquake: More on Planned Rolling Blackout

Snippets from Yomiuri Shinbun (3/14/2011):

The rolling blackout planned by TEPCO, which was initially supposed to last for about a week, is now apparently up till middle of April. There's also a possibility that the rolling blackout will resume summer, when the electricity usage peaks.

Untimely delivery of conflicting information on the blackout from TEPCO is adding to confusion and anger among the local governments, residents and businesses in the affected area.

To make matters worse, TEPCO's website was down last night due to too many access requests. Their Japanese site seems to be working OK right now, but not their English site.

The power outage is about 4 to 8 hours total per day (daytime), depending on the area designated for blackout.
