- FY2026MaterialisedAnnual report
「市原グリーン電力(株) reported lower revenue and profit because, in addition to the scheduled repairs initially planned, unplanned shutdowns reduced operating days and increased operating losses and repair costs.」
The risk to stable operations in the renewable energy business again materialized during the fiscal year in the form of unplanned shutdowns, fewer operating days, higher repair costs, and lower revenue and profit. - FY2026-H1MaterialisedAnnual report
「市原グリーン電力(株) reported lower revenue because operating days decreased from the previous year due to the shutdown associated with additional repairs carried out in the first quarter and the advancement of scheduled repairs originally planned for the third quarter to the second quarter. It also recorded an operating loss due partly to higher repair costs.」
The additional repairs and the advancement of scheduled repairs reduced operating days, resulting in actual operational impacts at the power plant, including higher repair costs and an operating loss. - FY2025WorsenedAnnual report
「(株)タケエイグリーンリサイクル reported lower revenue and profit because emergency shutdowns due to power generation equipment failures occurred several times, despite an increase in the receipt of disaster waste and deliveries of freshly cut wood waste.」
Emergency shutdowns caused by power generation equipment failures occurred several times. In addition to lower revenue and profit, an impairment loss was recorded for the Yokosuka plant, increasing the impact of the risk to stable operations. - FY2025-H1MaterialisedAnnual report
「(株)津軽バイオマスエナジー and (株)大仙バイオマスエナジー reported lower revenue and profit because the number of operating days decreased year on year due to scheduled repairs and statutory inspections during the interim consolidated accounting period, while repair costs also increased.」
The decrease in operating days due to scheduled repairs and statutory inspections, together with higher repair costs, materialized as lower revenue and profit in the renewable energy business. - FY2024-Q3MaterialisedAnnual report
「(株)タケエイグリーンリサイクル reported higher revenue and a narrower loss year on year, partly because of increased timber sales. However, it also experienced a shutdown caused by a breakdown during the third quarter and continues efforts to establish stable operations.」
Although increased timber sales improved performance, a breakdown-related shutdown also occurred during the quarter, again showing the actual impact of the risk to stable operations from power plant equipment failures. - FY2024-Q2MitigatedAnnual report
「In the renewable energy business, all 6 power plants were operating generally steadily, while the power retail business remained strong.」
While the impact on individual power plants from repairs and sluggish fuel deliveries was described, all 6 power plants were reported to have operated generally steadily during the quarter. - FY2024-Q1MitigatedAnnual report
「市原グリーン電力(株) had planned to suspend operations for approximately 40 days at the start of the fiscal year to carry out concentrated replacement of equipment and other work deemed necessary at the end of the previous consolidated fiscal year. The suspension was extended by approximately 10 days, but revenue increased and the loss narrowed, partly because the plant continued to operate at high load after the repairs.」
Although the shutdown period for equipment replacement and other work was extended, operations returned to high-load levels after the repairs and the loss narrowed. This indicated a recovery following measures to address equipment failure and shutdown risks. - FY2023-Q2MaterialisedAnnual report
「市原グリーン電力(株) had been operating steadily since the statutory inspections conducted in the first quarter of the fiscal year (boilers every 2 years and turbines every 4 years). However, after entering the second quarter, it operated at reduced output because collection volumes of the wood chips used as fuel, derived from construction waste, remained sluggish, resulting in lower revenue and profit.」
Sluggish wood-chip collection volumes led to reduced power generation output, resulting in lower revenue and profit as the impact of fuel procurement materialized. - FY2023-Q1MaterialisedAnnual report
「Although (株)タケエイグリーンリサイクル was affected by temporary repair work at the Yokosuka Biomass Power Plant, revenue increased and its operating loss continued to narrow.」
Temporary repair work was required at a biomass power plant, and the business impact of equipment repairs materialized. - FY2022-Q3First statedAnnual report
「However, if difficulties arise in securing fuel materials in Japan, an unexpected major natural disaster occurs, or equipment failures affecting operations occur, leaving a power plant unable to operate for an extended period, the resulting decrease in operating days could affect the performance and financial position of the Group.」
The risks specific to the renewable energy business, including fuel procurement, natural disasters and extended shutdowns caused by equipment failures, were identified.
