UPDATER Inc. (Headquarters: Setagaya-ku, Tokyo; President and CEO: Eiji Oishi), which aims to update society through lifestyles, conducted an "Energy Awareness and Behavior Survey (June 2026)" targeting 933 people nationwide, against the backdrop of geopolitical risks and the forecast of record-breaking heat this summer. The survey found that approximately 86% of respondents were aware of the impact of the energy situation on their lives, with the most common answer for long-term electricity price stability being "increasing domestic renewable energy (hereinafter, RE)" (approximately 45%). Furthermore, the intention to review electricity providers and plans reached approximately 60%. On the other hand, while "low electricity prices" was chosen by about 81% of respondents as a key factor in selecting an electricity provider or plan (multiple responses, up to 3), only about 18% chose "the ratio of long-term stable energy sources such as RE."
