Japan's industry ministry plans to propose increasing coal-fired power generation in the upcoming fiscal year due to disruptions in liquefied natural gas (LNG) imports caused by the U.S.-Israeli war with Iran. The proposal includes suspending the 50% capacity limit on coal plants for one year, potentially reducing LNG consumption by over 10%. Japan relies on LNG imports, with a significant portion coming through the Strait of Hormuz, which is currently affected by the conflict. The prime minister is expected to make a related announcement soon.

Shikoku Electric Power Company has completed a buyback of 1,864,000 shares for approximately ¥3.22 billion, finalizing its treasury share acquisition program. This buyback, slightly below the approved limit, aims to mitigate short-term supply-demand pressure and enhance capital efficiency in response to a corporate shareholder's decision to unwind cross-shareholdings. The move is part of a broader strategy to stabilize share price dynamics and signal a commitment to shareholder-focused capital allocation amid Japan's efforts to reduce cross-shareholdings.
