The changes, which will be implemented over five years from 2015, mark the most comprehensive restructuring of the industry since the 1950s, when Japan split its national power provider into 10 regional utilities. The move reflects dramatic shifts in the domestic power industry since the March 2011 Fukushima nuclear accident. http://link.ft.com/r/G8OTZZ/Q38EY0/YHDR05/U1JIOR/YGD2KL/E4/h?a1=2013&a2=4&a3=2 Tools Your account    Portfolio Email Briefings    Price alerts Keyword alerts    RSS feeds Subscribe to FT.com     © THE FINANCIAL TIMES LTD 2013 ABOUT THIS EMAIL You have received this email because you have signed up from the NBE preference page.
