The reasons the company gives
The company's own explanation, not something inferred from the numbers.Operating revenue increased despite lower total electricity sales, due to higher fuel cost adjustment revenue and market price movements. Profit declined due to the fuel cost adjustment time-lag effect and the impact of the shutdown of Unit 2 at the Nanao-Ohta Thermal Power Station, among other factors. The full-year forecast was revised upward to reflect the deterioration from the fuel cost adjustment time-lag effect, as well as improvements from higher total electricity sales and market price movements, among other factors.
