A Tokyo Electric Power subsidiary ordered renewable energy producers to reduce output for five hours on Sunday due to oversupply risks. The curtailment occurred between 11 a.m. and 4 p.m. local time, targeting solar and other renewables amid low demand forecasts. High solar generation from favorable weather conditions exceeded projected electricity consumption, forcing temporary cuts. Tepco Power Grid cited grid stability concerns as the primary reason for the unprecedented daytime reduction. The move highlights challenges in balancing intermittent renewable supply with fluctuating demand in Japan’s energy transition.
