The electricity charges billed by the 10 major electric power companies in February next year will be subsidized by the government's economic measures to reduce the burden, so the regulated charge for the average household will drop by 1,600 to 1,800 yen from the previous month.
The government-approved "regulatory charges" to be billed in February next year will be
▽ Chubu Electric Power 7,369 yen
▽ Tokyo Electric Power 7,306 yen
▽ Hokkaido Electric Power 7,252 yen
▽ Okinawa Electric Power 7,252 yen

, Shikoku Electric Power is 6,095 yen
, Kansai Electric Power is 5,677 yen ,
Kyushu Electric
Power is 5,526 yen, and Hokuriku Electric Power is 4,792 yen.

▽ Kyushu Electric Power decreased by 1,750 yen, and

increase.
This is because the government will subsidize 7 yen per kilowatt-hour from billing in February next year as an economic measure to deal with soaring prices.
The reason why the amount of price reduction varies by company is that the average household power consumption set by each company is different.
In addition, city gas will be subsidized by 30 yen per cubic meter, so the gas bill for February next year will be 930 yen lower
for households with average usage compared to the previous month.
Saibu Gas will drop 709 yen to 7,088 yen,
Osaka
Gas will drop 564 yen to 6,833 yen
, and Tokyo Gas will drop 611 yen to 6,424 yen.
However, Tohoku Electric Power Co., Hokuriku Electric Power Co., Chugoku Electric Power Co., Shikoku Electric Power Co., and Okinawa Electric Power Co. have all applied to the government for price increases from April next year, and a committee of the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry has begun reviewing them.
▽ Tokyo Electric Power Co. and ▽ Hokkaido Electric Power Co. are also expected to apply for price increases in the future, so charges may rise after spring.
