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.
Deteriorating situation
If power shortages are prolonged or if the situation at the nuclear plant deteriorates, the outlook will change”
It is feared that the power situation in Japan is likely to get worse in the coming months as demand for electricity reaches peak summer levels.
As a result, companies are being forced to come up with measures to cut their power consumption, while trying to maintain production levels.
Sony said that it is proposing to bring forward various national holidays and ask its staff to work extra days later in the year when the power supply situation is likely to have improved.
"We are looking to provide two weeks of holidays to workers to alleviate the electricity consumption," Sony spokesperson George Boyd told the BBC.
Mr Boyd said that as well as shutting down premises during the summer months, the company is also considering changing its working hours.
"We are likely to bring the work hours forward to cut electricity usage on a day-to-day basis as well," Mr Boyd said.
Production problems
The devastation caused by the earthquake and tsunami in Japan has had a big impact on manufacturers.
They have been facing problems ranging from a shortage of parts to power cuts.
Toyota motors has suspended production at most of its plants in Japan and also reduced output at its North American and European factories.
Nissan and Honda have also been forced to slow production at their plants.
On Wednesday, the Japanese government downgraded its assessment of the economy saying that the breakdown of supply chains and the ongoing power crisis were having a negative impact on growth.
Analysts said that for the economy and industry to get back on track these issues would have to be addressed quickly.
"There's very high uncertainty on Japan's outlook," said Naoyuki Shinohara, of the International Monetary Fund.
"If power shortages are prolonged or if the situation at the nuclear plant deteriorates, the outlook will change... the risk is firmly to the downside," he said.

Playstation network server's are all around the world connected together in different countries.
Like the European network's connected to the united states networks.
Japan does not hold the main server its somewere in the united state's i think its somewhere in the east.

I ROCK like a fossil
Lol cool story broskie...
Just because theres a big PSN HQ in Japan and 2-weeks off of work in JAPAN would not EFFECT the US servers. EVERYTHING isn't ran off of japans servers and such.
There are obviously different servers in different countries linked together. That's why sometimes PSN servers are affected in EU and not US or in Aussie and no EU and US, and ect...
Also different PSN updates and stores items are implemented to different regions on DIFFERENT servers and such as well.
With all that said, i HIGHLY doubt that japans problems are causing the PSN outages globally... Just saying, doesn't seem logical.
But hey, even im wrong somtimes (rarely
)
