Electricity and gas charges If payment is difficult, extend deadline by up to 2 months April 24, 19:21
The payment deadline will be extended for up to 2 months for those who have difficulty in paying for electricity and gas due to the spread of the new coronavirus.
Major electric power companies and gas companies nationwide have taken special measures to extend the payment deadline by one month for people who have difficulty in paying electricity and gas charges due to the spread of the new coronavirus.
Due to the ongoing spread of infection, companies have decided to extend the payment deadline by another month and received approval from the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry on this measure.
This will extend the deadline for payment of electricity and gas charges by two months.
To extend, it is necessary to apply to the electric power company or gas company with which the user has a contract via the internet or telephone.
The target is those who use the emergency loan system for individuals provided by the government, but the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry flexibly responds to people who do not use the system, such as allowing extension of the deadline upon consultation. We are asking each company to do so.
