Four major electric power companies to apply for rate hikes due to soaring fuel costs
燃料費の高騰が続くなか、東京電力など大手電力4社は国の認可が必要な「規制料金」の値上げを年内にも申請する方針を固めました
As fuel costs continue to rise, four major electric power companies, including Tokyo Electric Power Company, have decided to apply for an increase in the ”regulatory rate” that requires government approval by the end of the year.
About 70% of households in Japan contract ”regulatory charges”, but national regulations set an ”upper limit” for fuel adjustment costs, etc., but all 10 major electric power companies have reached this upper limit.
For this reason, the increase in fuel prices cannot be passed on to electricity bills anymore, and the deficit is expanding as more electricity is sold. Four electric power companies in Tokyo, Tohoku, Hokuriku, and China have decided to apply to the government for price increases within the year. rice field

Two electric power companies in Shikoku and Okinawa are also considering applications, and the movement to review the charges is accelerating.
