電力５社 ２兆円燃料費 原発停止で今期 赤字相次ぐ公算 料金への転嫁困難
Due to suspension of many nuclear power plant reactors, fuel costs are soaring in the utility firms.
As they transfer their production to thermal power generation, purchasing costs for crude oil and others have increase. Then, looking into the top five utilities( firms of Tokyo,Kansai, Chubu, Tohoku and Kyushu), estimated fuel cost of five firms combined in the business term ending at March 30, 2012 is up about 2 trillion yen compared with the previous term. This figure is more than their recurring profit combined. However it is regarded to be very difficult for them to immediately transfer the cost to the utility charges.
