Environmental Harmony Measures for Transmission, Transformation, and Distribution Facilities

Power Transmission and Transformation Facilities

In constructing transmission lines, we seek to give due consideration to the landscape of the national parks around the transmission lines through such means as low gloss coating on the steel towers as well as low reflection coating on transmission lines as required.

As for construction of new and additional substations, we try to form equipment in consideration of noise and take measures to reduce environmental impact by adopting low-noise transformers, etc.

Power Distribution Facilities

Power distribution lines are installed underground with a view to creating desirable towns promoted by the central government that takes into account the urban landscape and comfortable life environments.

In addition, the poles in harmony with environment such as color poles in harmony with natural environment and small diameter poles in harmony with urban space are used while taking advantage of economical efficiency and easiness of maintenance of the power distribution lines using support materials.

Prevention of Soil Contamination

Tohoku EPCo has strived to comply with laws and regulations, and taken all possible measures for environmental management. At present, we have no facility subject to investigation under the Soil Contamination Countermeasures Law.
