With the withdrawal of electric power retailers called "new electric power" due to soaring energy prices, Shikoku Electric Power Co., Inc. said that it could not secure sufficient electric power, and companies seeking to switch from new electric power with high voltage contracts. We are not accepting applications.
With regard to electricity retailers called "new electricity," soaring energy prices have increased the cost of procuring electricity from the wholesale market, resulting in a series of business withdrawals and service suspensions.
For this reason, there are increasing cases where companies whose contracts have been terminated are asking major electric power companies to switch, but Shikoku Electric Power has partially suspended acceptance from companies requesting to switch contracts from "new electric power" from the end of last month. doing.
We have stopped accepting contracts for "high voltage" with a standard voltage of 6000 volts or more and "extra high voltage" with a standard voltage of 20,000 volts or more, because Shikoku Electric Power cannot secure sufficient power due to the rapid increase in contracts. In addition, the tension in the situation in Ukraine makes fluctuations in fuel prices unclear, making it impossible to provide electricity at an appropriate price.
Shikoku Electric Power Co., Inc. has indicated that it will continue to suspend acceptance for the time being.
Even if a new contractor cannot be found, there is a guarantee system that allows you to receive electricity for one year, but it is assumed that the charge will be high and it will have a great impact on the business environment depending on the company.
