Where does Tokyo get its electricity?

Tokyo is one of the largest and brightest cities on Earth—but where does all of its electricity actually come from? The answer stretches far beyond Tokyo itself. In this video, we follow the journey of electricity into Tokyo, from massive thermal power stations around Tokyo Bay to high-voltage transmission lines, substations, and the local distribution network that keeps one of the world's largest cities running. We'll look at the role of LNG and coal, major facilities like the Futtsu Thermal Power Station, hydroelectric and renewable energy, and the return of nuclear power to the region's electricity supply. Tokyo doesn't rely on a single power plant. It sits at the center of an enormous regional power network extending across eastern Japan.
