In order for electricity system reform to be truly tied to our customers' benefit, we work as proactively as possible as a business to flexibly respond to the changes and needs of society.
This includes the legal unbundling of power transmission and distribution, scheduled to be carried out from April of 2020; it will be necessary to take careful measures to maintain mid-to-long-term supply capability, in order to ensure an uninterrupted stable supply of energy. In addition, we believe that we must take the appropriate steps to allow necessary measures to be taken, with respect to issues such as improvements to electric power supply/demand and maintenance of the business environment for nuclear power, as well as the results of future inspections to be undertaken on the national level.
In July of 2015, we established the Committee on Structural Improvements toward 2020 to consider the fundamental direction for the company structure and other topics.
In FY2018, we plan to establish the Power Transmission and Distribution Operational Headquarters (tentative name) as a transition preparation organization to investigate organization and business operations options for after legal unbundling. (Details currently under consideration.)
In the future, we will continue to perform practical investigations to overcome diverse challenges, with the aim of building an organizational structure that continues to allow us to use our strengths, using the Hokuriku area as a base to demonstrate our comprehensive abilities.
