Kyushu Electric Power Updates Island Universal Service Adjustment Rate for Corporate Customers
Fukuoka, Japan – July 30, 2025 – Kyushu Electric Power Co., Inc. (Kyuden) announced today the update of its Island Universal Service Adjustment Rate for corporate customers. This revision, effective from September 1, 2025, aims to ensure the stable provision of electricity services to customers residing on remote islands.
The Island Universal Service Adjustment Rate is a mechanism implemented to cover the additional costs associated with supplying electricity to remote island areas. These costs can be higher due to factors such as the transportation of fuel and equipment, the maintenance of specialized infrastructure, and the often smaller customer base which necessitates a broader cost allocation.
Kyushu Electric Power is committed to upholding its universal service obligation, which guarantees the supply of electricity to all customers, regardless of their geographical location. This adjustment is a necessary step to maintain the financial sustainability of these services, particularly in the context of evolving energy landscapes and operational requirements.
The specific details of the updated rate will be communicated directly to corporate customers by Kyushu Electric Power. The company encourages all affected businesses to review the updated information and reach out to their respective Kyuden account representatives for any clarification or further assistance.
Kyushu Electric Power expresses its gratitude for the understanding and cooperation of its corporate customers as it continues to strive for the reliable and stable supply of electricity across its service territory, including its valued customers on the islands.
