Power-saving Activities
Measures for Supply and Demand of Power
In NEC, power consumption in offices is being reduced in various ways, such as by using fluorescent light bulbs only in every other light fixture, by automatically switching off lights in the headquarters building at a set time, and by adjusting the temperature for heating and air conditioning. Beginning FY 2012, NEC is reinforcing power-saving measures in its offices and all business activities aiming for a power-saving goal of a 15% reduction set by the government as a minimum target.
Power-saving measures
- Switching off lights in offices
- Operating elevators on a thinned-out schedule
- Switching off some lights in production lines
- Operating electric water heaters on a thinned-out schedule
- Stopping air conditioning after 16:00
- Stopping use of other unnecessary power
- Operating emergency on-site generators (production bases except data centers in the service areas of the Tokyo and Tohoku Electric Power Companies)
Rotating holidays for summer (in the service areas of the Tokyo Electric Power Company)
- Each employee takes rotating holidays (taking two times of weekly holidays alternately). The employees are grouped to four groups in each business establishment.
- Rotating holiday period: July 17 to September 11, 2011 (8 weeks)
- Production bases (Note) and data centers are excluded from the rotating holiday scheme to maintain their operations.
- Rotating holidays are set by allocating holidays, Saturdays, and paid vacations in July to September.
Note) Major production bases
NEC Energy Devices, NEC Personal Computers (Gunma plant), NEC Yamanashi, NEC Saitama, NEC Computertechno (Kofu office), etc.

The following additional measures have been prepared in case balance between supply and demand becomes tighter.
- Measure 1 Partially stopping air conditioning
- Measure 2 Partially stopping shared equipment such as printers and individual air conditioners
- Measure 3 Operating emergency generators (production bases except data centers)
- Measure 4 Accelerating installation of energy-saving equipment such as high-efficiency lighting (e.g., ALline and LEDs)
