1*The "Renewable Energy Power Promotion Surcharge" is calculated based on the "unit price of Renewable Energy Power Promotion Surcharge" set every fiscal year according to provisions; such as the "Act on Purchase of Renewable Energy Sourced Electricity by Electric Utilities", and will be added to the customer's monthly electricity bill.
2* Under the Excess Electricity Purchasing Scheme for photovoltaic power, the total amount TEPCO pays to a residential renewable energy generator will be passed on to all electricity users as a "PV surcharge".
3* The fuel cost adjustment system is designed to meet changes in recent fuel costs, so that electricity rates will be adjusted automatically every month according to certain standards if the cost of fuels, such as crude oil, LNG (liquefied natural gas) or coal, rises or falls due to fluctuations in the foreign exchange rate and energy prices.
