TEPCO has announced that it will begin selling new household power in Hokkaido, Hokuriku, China, and Shikoku, and will begin accepting applications on the 13th.
Since Kansai, Chubu, Tohoku, and Kyushu have already entered the region, this is the first major electric power company to expand the sales area nationwide except Okinawa.
Electricity charges are set to be about 3% cheaper than the local power company. For example, if the monthly electricity charge is currently 8000 yen, the price will be reduced from 2700 yen to 2900 yen annually. doing.
Since the retailing of household electricity was liberalized three years ago, new operators, so-called new electricity, have entered the market one after another, and TEPCO has lost more than 20% of its sales share in the Tokyo metropolitan area.
By expanding the business nationwide, we plan to keep the contract so that it can be continued even if the customer moves to a rural area.
Other major electric power companies are also starting to sell beyond the boundaries of the region, so competition including new electric power is likely to intensify.
