TOKYO -- Tokyo Electric Power Co. will start supplying electricity to electronics volume retailer Yamada Denki in the Osaka and Nagoya areas in October, marking its first foray into business turf controlled by rival utilities.
The 19,000kW contract will cover 62 Yamada Denki stores, including 38 in central Japan and 24 in the greater Osaka region, or 40% of the locations in the two regions. Those stores have been buying electricity primarily from local utilities.
