Reference: Outline of the gas resource cost adjustment scheme
The scheme provides for adjustment of the unit commodity charge in gas rates (i.e., the charge per cubic meter of gas consumed) every month in correspondence with fluctuation in gas resource prices owing to factors such as exchange rates and crude oil prices.
The unit commodity charge is adjusted by 0.08748 yen per cubic meter (0.081 multiplied by 1.08(consumption tax)) for each 100 yen of fluctuation in gas resource price, based on the difference between the standard average gas resource price (57,250 yen per ton) and average gas resource price (calculated on the basis of weighted average cost of LNG and LPG import prices in the previous 3-5 months).
The fluctuation in gas resource prices is calculated on the basis of actual values in customs clearance statistics for both LNG and LPG.
Arrangement has been made to avoid price hike.
Even if the average gas resource price exceeds the upper limit of 91,600 yen, the amount of 91,600 yen is applied in the calculation of the gas rate adjustment.
