Tokyo Electric Power Company Holdings (Tepco) began sending electricity from its Kashiwazaki-Kariwa nuclear plant in Niigata Prefecture to the Tokyo metropolitan area for the first time in about 14 years on Monday. The No. 6 reactor, restarted earlier this year, started generating and transmitting power at 10 p.m. Further inspections are planned ahead of potential commercial operations.
