With the introduction of fuel coefficient, we will change a calculation method for SQUID and OCTOPUS point as follows

Point consumption = Node-hours x Consumption coefficient x Seasonal coefficient x Fuel coefficient

We set "1" as Seasonal coefficient and Fuel coefficient as of April 2023.

Starting from April 2023, we will establish "fuel coefficient" and set prices in accordance with electric rates. We will initially set it to "1" for 2023 fiscal year, and review it as needed throughout the year. We will notify all users separately if there are any changes.

We urgently set the seasonal coefficient to 3.0 from November 2022 because fuel cost is soaring. But it will be finished. From April 2023, seasonal coefficient will be set to "a value greater than 0 and less than or equal to 1" based on the system utilization situation in the previous fiscal year, in accordance with the purpose of the seasonal coefficient as in the past.
We set "1" as a seasonal coefficient in 2023 fiscal year.

Until April 1, 2023	The seasonal coefficient is set based on the usage status of the previous year.
From April 1, 2023	The seasonal coefficient should be set to a value greater than 0 and less than or equal to 1 based on the usage status of the previous year.

 

Because fuel cost is soaring, we will change consumption coefficient as follows
