The Economy, Trade and Industry Ministry said it may upgrade a power crunch “advisory” to power crunch “warning” from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m. Monday.

Extreme heat has been causing the crunch in the areas served by Tokyo Electric Power Company Holdings, Inc., and the current advisory was issued for companies and households in the area.
