Kansai Electric will overhaul extra-high-voltage and high-voltage rate menus from November 1, citing inflation and rising capacity and non-fossil-certificate costs, and its own bill examples show the largest industrial users facing increases of about ¥22.22mn a month, a figure that excludes a separate, still-unpublished transmission-fee revision due the same day.
A loss-of-field alarm tripped the generator at Kansai Electric's Ohi Unit 3 on August 8, forcing an automatic reactor shutdown that the utility says caused no radioactive release, with the cause still under investigation.
Revenue fell to ¥2.01tn and ordinary income slipped to ¥315.0bn in the six months to September, but profit attributable to owners rose to ¥232.9bn and net assets reached ¥3.31tn.
The utility's amended report for the six months to September 2024 showed sales at ¥2.14tn, while ordinary income dropped to ¥319.24bn and operating cash flow to ¥136.29bn.
Kinden's self-tender bought 33.5 million shares from Kansai Electric and its subsidiary out of 73,412,898 tendered, setting up planned special profit of about ¥176 billion on parent-only accounts and about ¥105 billion on a consolidated basis for the year to March 2027. The useful distinction is that this is a one-off gain from trimming an equity-method affiliate stake, not a clean read on recurring earnings.
