The reasons the company gives
The company's own explanation, not something inferred from the numbers.The company explained that the impact on results at this time is expected to be limited because its earnings structure does not expose it directly to market price volatility related to fuel price increases caused by the situation in the Middle East or changes in prices and procurement volumes in the balancing market, and because its business plan is based on conservative assumptions. Regarding battery storage investments, it aims to own 40 MW of battery storage facilities by the fiscal year ending July 2028.
