    Notice Concerning Issuance of New Shares and Secondary Offering of Shares 
 
                                                              September 29, 2010 
                                          The Tokyo Electric Power Company, Inc. 
 
The Tokyo Electric Power Company, Incorporated ("TEPCO") hereby announces that 
its Board of Directors resolved today to issue new shares and conduct a 
secondary offering of its shares, as set forth below. 
 
1.Background and purpose of this financing 
 
In addition to changes in the social structure caused by the rapid aging of 
society due to a declining birthrate, decreasing population, and changes of the 
industrial structure, major changes are also occurring in relation to the energy 
and environment situation, as can be seen in the development of energy-saving 
technologies, the global warming issue, increasing energy consumption 
particularly in Asia, and drastic fluctuations in the prices of fossil fuels. 
Such changes can be expected to have various impacts on our Group's management, 
but rather than simply responding to them, we will take the opportunity of these 
changes to delve deeper into, and more widely expand, business activities we 
have cultivated so far, and pursue forward-looking management toward future 
growth and development. 
 
Based on this awareness of the above, on September 13, 2010, the TEPCO Group 
announced its "2020 Vision: Medium to Long-term Growth Declaration" ("2020 
Vision"), which aims at realizing sustainable growth. Our "2020 Vision" maps out 
the direction of our business for the next ten years in the form of management 
policies designed to continue offering energy services based on low-cost, stable 
supply of electricity, as well as to achieve sustainable growth by pursuing new 
social and environmental roles in "leading the low-carbon era" and by striking a 
balance between those roles and corporate profit. Under these new management 
policies, the TEPCO Group will focus particularly on a series of initiatives, 
labeled "Value-up Plans," which are designed to achieve our goal of sustainable 
growth. 
 
Under the "2020 Vision," the TEPCO Group will invest 2.5 trillion yen toward a 
low-carbon society and a maximum of 1 trillion yen in growth businesses in 
addition to its regular capital investment. During the ten years up to FY2020, 
we will aim to create an operating cash flow of more than 12 trillion yen to 
ensure such active investments. While this may well result in increases to our 
total asset in the next ten years, we will reinforce our earning strength and 
aim to achieve an ROA of 4.5% or higher in FY2020 (4.0% or higher in FY2015). 
Furthermore, we plan to accumulate capital to strengthen our risk response 
capacity in preparation for future business expansion so that our D/E ratio will 
come close to the broad target of around 1.5 by FY2020. 
 
Based on this "2020 Vision," the TEPCO Group aims to achieve sustainable growth 
through the active and timely acquisition of assets that deliver both 
environmental performance and corporate profit while maintaining financial 
soundness. This issuance of new shares is designed to raise funds that will be 
devoted to capital investment toward low-carbon, high-efficiency power 
generation facilities, and also to provide investment and financing for growth 
businesses. Amid significant changes in the business environment, we are 
targeting sustainable growth by making the "2020 Vision" a reality, and working 
to ensure that we can share the results of our business growth with all our 
stakeholders, and particularly with our shareholders.

Secondary offering by way of over-allotment described under "3. Secondary 
Offering of Shares (Secondary Offering by way of Over-Allotment)" above is a 
secondary offering, to be made in conjunction with the Public Offering described 
under "2. Issuance of New Shares by way of Offering (Public Offering,)" of the 
shares of common stock of TEPCO in an amount not exceeding 26,520,000shares, 
which will be borrowed by Nomura Securities, the lead manager of the Public 
Offering, from a certain shareholder of TEPCO taking into account market demand 
and other conditions. It is estimated that the number of shares to be offered in 
the secondary offering by way of over-allotment will be 26,520,000shares which 
represents the maximum number of shares to be offered, and the number may 
decrease or the secondary offering by way of over-allotment may not be carried 
out in its entirety, depending on market demand and other conditions. 
 
In connection with the secondary offering by way of over-allotment, the board of 
directors of the TEPCO resolved, at the meeting held on Wednesday, September 29, 
2010 that TEPCO will issue 26,520,000 shares of its common stock to Nomura 
Securities, the allottee, by way of third-party allotment (the "Third-Party 
Allotment"), with a payment date of Monday, November 1, 2010, for the purpose of 
enabling Nomura Securities to procure shares necessary for returning the shares 
it borrowed from TEPCO's shareholder (the "Borrowed Shares"). 
 
In addition, Nomura Securities may also purchase shares of common stock of TEPCO 
on the Tokyo Stock Exchange, up to the number of shares to be offered in the 
secondary offering by way of over-allotment (the "Syndicate Cover Transactions") 
during the period from the day immediately following the last day of the 
subscription period of the Public Offering and the secondary offering by way of 
over-allotment to Monday, October 25, 2010 (the "Syndicate Cover Transactions 
Period"). All shares obtained by Nomura Securities through the Syndicate Cover 
Transactions will be apportioned for the return of the Borrowed Shares. However, 
during the Syndicate Cover Transaction Period, Nomura Securities, at its sole 
discretion, may not conduct any Syndicate Cover Transactions or may terminate 
the Syndicate Cover Transactions before the number of shares purchased reaches 
the number of shares offered in the secondary offering by way of over-allotment. 
 
Furthermore, Nomura Securities may conduct stabilization transactions 
accompanying the Public Offering and the secondary offering by way of 
over-allotment, and some or all of the shares of common stock of TEPCO obtained 
by those stabilization transactions may be used to return the Borrowed Shares. 
 
Nomura Securities plans to accept the allotment under the Third-Party Allotment 
of an equivalent number of shares of common stock of TEPCO obtained by deducting 
(a) the number of shares acquired through stabilization transactions and 
Syndicate Cover Transactions that are to be applied to return the Borrowed 
Shares from (b) the number of shares to be offered in the secondary offering by 
way of over-allotment (the "Number of Shares to be Acquired".) Accordingly, all 
or part of the shares to be issued under the Third-Party Allotment may not be 
subscribed for, which may result in a decrease in the maximum number of shares 
to be ultimately issued under the Third-Party Allotment, or in the cancellation 
of the entire issuance due to forfeiture. 
 
In the event that Nomura Securities accepts the allotment under the Third-Party 
Allotment, it shall use the funds obtained from the secondary offering by way of 
over-allotment as payment for the number of shares due to be acquired.

| (1) | Basic policy concerning profit distribution                    | 
+-----+----------------------------------------------------------------+ 
|     | TEPCO's fundamental policy for distributing profits to         | 
|     | shareholders is to maintain stable dividends with the goal of  | 
|     | a consolidated payout ratio of 30% or higher, and to determine | 
|     | dividends after comprehensively considering factors including  | 
|     | business performance and progress in improving its balance     | 
|     | sheets.                                                        |

| (2) | Concept of determination of dividends                          |

| (3) | Use of retained earnings                                       | 
+-----+----------------------------------------------------------------+ 
|     | TEPCO plans to apply retained earnings to planned facility     | 
|     | investments and stable financial statement to achieve          | 
|     | sustainable growth.                                            |
