www.huffingtonpost.com — A magnitude-5.5 earthquake rattled Yamanashi prefecture in central Japan on Saturday morning, the Japan Meteorological Agency reported. There were no immediate reports of damage or injuries, and no tsunami warning was issued.

The temblor was some 20 kilometers (12 1/2 miles) deep and hit at 7:43 a.m. local time (2243 GMT Friday), the Japanese earthquake-reporting agency said.

www.thehindubusinessline.com (Japan), Jan. 27:

A solar power plant with an output capacity of 10 MW, which is enough to supply power to around 3,400 homes, began operations on Friday here.

The Komekurayama solar power station, built by Tokyo Electric Power Co. on a 12.5 hectare site, is one of the largest photovoltaic power plants in Japan.

The site is being leased free of charge by the Yamanashi Prefectural government.

Landlocked Yamanashi Prefecture, which enjoys relatively long hours of sunshine, is trying to attract establishment of solar power plants in the region.

In addition to the one here, other projects are in progress in the cities of Kai and Nirasaki.

Tokyo Electric is the operator of the troubled Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant.

Itsumi says the concern is that the quakes are connected to mt Fuji
