The largest electric power companies in Japan are Tokyo Gas and Eneos Power Corp, which have announced a temporary halt on accepting new industrial customers due to the impact of the Middle East war causing chaos in the fuel market and driving up procurement costs.
Tokyo Gas, the supplier of gas and electricity for the capital Tokyo, stated that they have stopped accepting new industrial customers since March 6 and there is no specific time to restore this service. Eneos Power Corp, the retail electricity division of the Eneos Holdings oil group, also posted a similar announcement on its official website. These measures only apply to high-voltage industrial users, while low-voltage household customers can still register normally.
This move reflects pressure from global fuel prices, which may affect industrial production costs in Japan and raise concerns about energy inflation.
