On the cost side, maintenance expenses for inspecting and repairing the power generation facilities were incurred as a result of the lightning-related power outages, and utility expenses for the power generation facilities became the responsibility of the power producer from April 2024, among other factors. As a result, profit was lower year on year.」

「The wind power generation business sells electricity generated at a wind power plant owned by the Company in Soya District, Hokkaido.
