The operator of the Sendai nuclear power plant expects the restart of its reactor to greatly improve energy supply.
Nearly 40 percent of Kyushu Electric Power Company's output came from nuclear power before the 2011 accident in Fukushima. The ratio is higher than those of other utilities.
Company officials say they are meeting this summer's power demand by operating thermal plants at full capacity and procuring power from other firms. But they say the thermal plants are old and often stop running.
The officials say that with the full operation of the Sendai plant's No.1 reactor, the company can secure power reserves of 5 percent or more. The reactor has a generation capacity of 890-thousand kilowatts.
