Maintaining high utilization at 3 existing wood biomass power plants and securing a sound financial base

「The operating rate of the power plants improved by approximately 10% from the previous period to approximately 78% in the current period.」

「Fuel procurement at エフオン新宮 power plant remains unstable. Although the plant operated at full output in July and November, it was forced to operate with reduced generation output during the other periods, resulting in an operating rate of approximately 81% for the interim consolidated accounting period as a whole.」

「In the current consolidated fiscal year, the Green Energy business saw a significant decline in total electricity transmission volumes across the Group's power plants because エフオン新宮 power plant operated at approximately 60% of normal output due to output curtailment caused by a fuel shortage.」

「Electricity transmission volumes across the Group's power plants were significantly below the same period of the previous year due to output curtailment and a shutdown at エフオン新宮 power plant.」

「During the current third-quarter-to-date consolidated period, エフオン新宮 in January and エフオン壬生 in March conducted scheduled self-inspections. Apart from this, operations remained solid without any major incidents.」

「During the current quarter, エフオン白河 and エフオン日田 carried out their annual inspections steadily as scheduled, while the other power plants in the Group operated smoothly.」

「During the current quarter-to-date consolidated period, the エフオン白河, エフオン豊後大野 and エフオン壬生 power plants maintained high operating rates and operated smoothly.」

「The EF-ON Shingu Power Plant conducted inspections and adjustments of its facilities through trial operations from the beginning of the period, completed the adjustments in August and transitioned to full-scale operations. In addition, EF-ON Shirakawa, EF-ON Bungo-Ono and the EF-ON Mibu Power Plant maintained high operating rates and operated smoothly.」

「In the core Green Energy business, we will work to ensure stable operation of the 5 woody biomass power plants, including the newly built plant, while continuing to maintain high utilization and conduct maintenance that takes advantage of economies of scale to improve business profitability.」

「In addition, エフオン白河 and エフオン日田 power plants underwent their customary annual scheduled maintenance, resulting in shutdowns of approximately 2 weeks. エフオン豊後大野 and エフオン壬生 power plants maintained high operating rates and operated smoothly.」

「EF-ON Shirakawa, EF-ON Bungo-Ono and the EF-ON Mibu Power Plant maintained high operating rates and operated smoothly.」

「EF-ON Mibu conducted its first annual inspection and underwent a planned outage of approximately 2 weeks, while the other 3 power plants operated smoothly.」

「Meanwhile, the エフオン豊後大野 and エフオン壬生 power plants maintained high operating rates and operated smoothly.」

「The existing エフオン白河, エフオン日田 and エフオン豊後大野 power plants also maintained high operating rates and operated smoothly.」

「The existing エフオン白河, エフオン日田 and エフオン豊後大野 power plants operated smoothly while maintaining high operating rates.」

「エフオン白河 and エフオン日田 power plants underwent their annual scheduled maintenance. As both plants were due for their once-every-4-years boiler-opening inspections, their shutdown periods were approximately 1–2 days longer than in a normal year, but the plants, including エフオン豊後大野, operated smoothly during the other periods.」

「Power generation at the Group's power plants operated at an operating rate of nearly 100%.」

「During the other periods, all 3 wood biomass power plants maintained high operating rates and contributed to net sales.」

「During the other periods, all 3 wood biomass power plants maintained high operating rates and contributed to net sales.」

「In the Group's power generation business, all 3 existing woody biomass power plants maintained high utilization and contributed to revenue. However, operating profit declined because heavy rain and typhoons increased the moisture content of the wood chips used as fuel, resulting in higher consumption.」

「The エフオン豊後大野 power plant, which began operations in the previous consolidated fiscal year, operated throughout the year and, together with the existing エフオン日田 and エフオン白河 power plants, maintained high operating rates.」

「In the third quarter of the current consolidated accounting period, the エフオン白河 and エフオン日田 power plants, which underwent scheduled maintenance during the second quarter, and the エフオン豊後大野 power plant, where scheduled maintenance is planned for the fourth quarter, operated at full capacity and steadily improved performance, making a significant contribution to both net sales and operating profit.」

「During the second quarter of the current consolidated accounting period, the 2 エフオン白河 and エフオン日田 power plants underwent scheduled maintenance. The other plants, including エフオン豊後大野, operated smoothly, making a significant contribution to both net sales and operating profit.」

「The エフオン豊後大野 wood biomass power plant achieved a high operating rate, while the utilization rate of unused wood improved at the エフオン白河 and エフオン日田 power plants, which also operated smoothly without incidents.」

「The existing エフオン白河 and エフオン日田 power plants also maintained high operating rates without incidents and operated smoothly, except during the shutdown period for scheduled maintenance in November.」

「The existing エフオン白河 and エフオン日田 power plants also maintained high operating rates without incidents and operated smoothly, except during the shutdown period for scheduled maintenance in November.」

「The existing EF-ON Shirakawa and EF-ON Hita power plants also maintained high utilization smoothly without problems.」
