In response to the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant's severe crisis, the Tokyo Electric Power Company planned rolling blackouts, and the Japanese government encouraged companies and residents to conserve electricity by adopting self‐restriction plans. We examine the structural changes caused by the disaster in Japan and the effects of the power blackouts and self‐restriction plans on the magnitude and pattern of load demand. The results show that the total demand decreased after the disaster and changed from weekdays to weekends and holidays. In addition, the effect of temperature on load demand changed after the disaster.
