Outline of the cost of the "Transmission Service Agreement"１． Preconditions for estimating the tariff for Transmission Service (Tokyo District etc. )
Period for the calculation | Gas volume(average) | Rate of fair return |
FY2017～FY2019 | 13.9 BCM | 2.18% |
(注) ・The gas volume is estimated based on the Supply Plan.

２．The costs taking into account at the estimation of the tariff
・As the estimation, we take into account the costs for required check, maintenance, repairs and replacements for the gas transmission facilities to secure stable and safe gas supply and the amortization expense for the construction for new pipelines.
