Environmental Learning Course "Where does electricity come from? Tour of Tokyo Electric Power Company facilities"

Call for Participation!
We will be holding a tour at a Tokyo Electric Power Company facility in Hino City, Tokyo, where you can learn about electrical equipment in your everyday life.
In the first half, there will be a lecture with video and you will learn where electricity comes from.
In the second half of the tour, you will be able to get a close-up look at electrical equipment that you normally don't see, such as utility poles and electrical equipment buried underground within the facility.
