Rakuten Mobile, a company called "New Electric Power" that has newly entered the electric power retail business, announced that it will temporarily suspend the acceptance of new applications for the "Rakuten Denki" service it provides.
It is said that this is because the demand for electricity has increased due to the cold weather, the wholesale price has soared, and the procurement cost has risen, and the impact of the tight supply and demand of electricity has affected the new electric power business.
