KYODO NEWS - 3 hours ago - 00:48 | Japan, AllA prolonged power outage in parts of Chiba Prefecture near Tokyo caused by Typhoon Faxai could last another two weeks or so, a utility company said Friday, as slow progress in fixing power grids has left many local residents debilitated and frustrated.
TEPCO Power Grid Inc. said another three days to two weeks will be required for restoration depending on area, after the typhoon ripped through the Tokyo metropolitan region on Monday.
TEPCO Power Grid President Yoshinori Kaneko, speaking at a press conference, apologized for causing great inconvenience to numerous people.
The unit of the utility company said many installations were damaged by the powerful typhoon and more time is needed to remove fallen trees.
In the town of Kyonan, the typhoon smashed roof tiles and windows, and stripped the entire roofs of some homes.
