Today we filed a notification of change of General Provisions for Specific Retail plans with the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry.^*

　Since the suspension of our Nuclear Power Plants in December 2011, four units have resumed operation. Sendai Unit 1 and 2 restarted in September and November of 2015, whereas Genkai Unit 3 and 4 restarted in May and July of 2018.

　The operation of the nuclear power units would not have been possible without the understanding and cooperation of the residents and local communities. We would like to express our sincerest gratitude again for their support.

　Following the resumption of commercial operation of the four units and overall improvement in management efficiency, we decided to reduce the electricity rate for retail customers from April 1st, 2019. Also we decided to reduce the electricity rate for corporate customers.

　We will strive to realize Kyuden group's mission "Make a Brighter Future for Generations to Come" by making further efforts to provide attractive rate plan and to continuously improve our customer service in order that customers will continue to choose us as their energy provider.
