In Japan, the energy company recovered from consumers an extra $ 7.8 million

Large Japanese energy corporation Chubu Electric Power recovered from its customers about 5 million contracts for a total of 1.2 billion yen (almost $ 7.8 million) more than expected. It's from sb.by.

According to TASS, the company explained that an error was made in the calculations made by its customer service firm. The money will be returned to the victims. Overpayment was made on more than half of the contracts concluded by the corporation with consumers.

This is not the first scandal with Chubu Electric Power, which operates on the main Japanese island of Honshu. Earlier, she was convicted of falsifying data on the seismic resistance of the Hamaoka nuclear power plant owned by the corporation. It was assumed that in the near future two power units of this nuclear power plant will be put into operation again. But the decision was reversed after the company admitted in January that it had sent incorrect information to the government about the ability of the nuclear plant to withstand strong earthquakes. After that, Chubu Electric Power decided to resign.
