Risks to supply facilities from natural disasters, accidents, terrorism and fuel procurement disruptions

「Following a reassessment based on the new damage assumptions published by the government using more accurate topographical data and other information, the Group confirmed that no additional advance facility measures were necessary. It will continue to monitor developments at the national and local government levels and review the Group's BCP (business continuity plan) and other plans based on the latest knowledge.」

「The impact on JERA’s LNG procurement is currently limited. However, if tensions in the Middle East intensify or persist, restrictions on the navigation of fuel vessels could affect supply and demand in energy markets and resource prices, and we are closely monitoring developments.」

「The Group's business activities face risks from large-scale natural disasters such as Nankai Trough earthquakes, major typhoons and abnormal weather, as well as armed attacks, terrorist acts, epidemics and accidents.」

「Following the earthquake that occurred on 8 August 2024 with its epicenter in the Hyuga-nada Sea, the Nankai Trough Earthquake Extra Information was issued for the first time. We immediately activated our earthquake standby system and established communication channels with external parties, including local governments. At the Hamaoka Nuclear Power Station, as part of the initial response, approximately 300 personnel, including standby personnel, conducted patrols and inspections of facilities. Subsequently, a standby system of approximately 30 personnel was maintained in preparation for an earthquake.」

「Based on recent natural disasters, we are working to strengthen information sharing with society and customers and our facility restoration framework, and will continue to implement disaster response measures as the Chubu Electric Power Group as a whole.」

「Based on lessons learned from typhoon disasters and other events, the Group is working under its Action Plan to strengthen its facility restoration framework by developing various restoration support systems, expand the functions of its information dissemination app, strengthen communications with customers through website improvements, and enhance cooperation with local governments and other electric power companies. In addition, to strengthen resilience, the Group will work with local governments and others on measures including further accelerating the advance cutting of trees for preventive maintenance, removing utility poles, and cooperating in flood control when flooding is expected at dams used for hydroelectric power generation.」

「Revenue from the provision of power network services increased by ¥1.7 billion from the previous fiscal year to ¥746.4 billion, due to factors including an increase in subsidies under the Renewable Energy Special Measures Act, despite a decrease in electricity demand in the Chubu area. Meanwhile, operating expenses increased by ¥3.9 billion to ¥693.3 billion, as costs were incurred to restore facilities damaged by Typhoons No. 21 and 24, including an increase in purchase costs under the Renewable Energy Special Measures Act, despite efforts to improve the efficiency of base costs.」

「To deliver high-quality electricity economically and reliably, the Group works to develop and maintain optimal facilities and has also implemented measures against large-scale earthquakes and cyberterrorism as part of its response to threats such as disasters.」

「However, business performance may be affected depending on the operating status of our supply facilities and those of other companies from which we receive electricity, due to large-scale natural disasters, accidents or terrorist acts, disruptions to fuel procurement, and responses to new regulatory standards.」
