The utility covering the southwestern region of Kyushu has come up with the plan as the government is considering seeking a cut in power consumption of 12 percent from 2010 levels, which is sharper than the 7 percent cut achieved last year, in its service area. Earlier this week, the government said it could request electricity users in areas covered by up to seven of Japan's 10 utilities, including Kyushu Electric, to reduce power consumption this summer to cope with tight supply conditions given all 50 commercial atomic power plants have been suspended nationwide. The officials also said Kyushu Electric is considering dividing its service area into two groups and having them take turns picking zones in the event of possible rolling blackouts.
