TOKYO (Kyodo) -- Japan's antimonopoly watchdog said Friday it has imposed fines of around 740 million yen on 36 firms, including a group firm of Tokyo Electric Power Co., for fixing bids related to power line construction work.
TEPCO group firm Transmission Line Construction Co. took a leading role in bid-rigging for projects to build overhead power lines while Tokyo-based Kandenko Co., a TEPCO subcontractor, took such a role in projects to build underground power lines, the Japan Fair Trade Commission said.
TLC was fined around 110 million yen, Kandenko about 100 million yen and Sumitomo Electric Industries Ltd., based in Osaka City, roughly 30 million yen.
The commission said some officials of TEPCO had encouraged or facilitated the bid-rigging.
The 36 firms based in 13 prefectures rigged bidding for the overhead and underground power line construction work as far back as late January 2012 by deciding beforehand on successful bidders.
