Hokkaido Electric Power Co. plans to raise its electricity rates for households by about 10 percent, as the suspension of nuclear reactors has lowered its earnings, it has been learned.
The company, which serves Hokkaido, hopes to implement the rate hike on Sept. 1 after gaining government permission, informed sources said Saturday. It is also planning a rate hike for business users, which does not require the government's approval.
