-- Japanese utility Chubu Electric Power Tuesday reported full-year 2025 power generation of 9.2 terawatt-hours, down from 9.7 TWh a year ago.
Hydropower output decreased year over year to 8.8 TWh from 9.3 TWh, while other renewable energy production remained flat at 400 gigawatt-hours.
The Miraiz segment, pertaining to services delivered with energy, sold 109.0 TWh of electricity during the year, an increase from 107.9 TWh in 2024. However, operating revenue was down 3.5% to 2.859 trillion Japanese yen ($17.92 billion) due to a decrease in fuel cost adjustment charge, according to the company.
The power grid segment delivered 123.9 TWh of energy demand in Chubu region in 2025, a decline from 124.5 TWh a year earlier. Corresponding operating revenue also dropped 3.6% to 928.63 billion yen.
"At this point, the impact on electricity demand in the Chubu area is limited. However, if tensions in the Middle East worsen and become prolonged, electricity demand in the Chubu area could be affected due to concerns over the supply of crude oil and other energy sources," the company said.
The utility did not publish business forecasts for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2027, due to uncertainties surrounding fuel prices and wholesale electricity market prices.
