Kyushu Elec to urge users to save power from Dec 26

Kyushu Electric will ask users to conserve power from Dec. 26 after it shuts down its last operating nuclear reactor on Dec. 25.

The government of Japan also echoed the same concern, asking its customers to voluntarily curb peak-hour power usage by 5 percent from a year earlier from Dec. 26 to Feb. 3.

After the shutdown, all of Kyushu's six reactors at two plants will be closed with no definite schedule for restarts.
