Sony considers two-week shutdown due to power shortages

Sony Corporation is considering shutting down some of its company premises in Japan because of the continuing power shortages.
In order to save energy, the company said it was planning to give its staff two weeks off during the summer months.
Japan has been suffering power shortages due to the damage caused to its nuclear and thermal power stations.
Last week the government set energy-saving targets and asked manufacturers to reduce their energy consumption.
