What happened, for context

Japan's electricity prices rose to their highest level since January 2023 on August 24, 2026, driven by a summer heatwave increasing demand and Middle East supply disruptions raising fuel costs. The nationwide next-day power price climbed 20% from the previous week to ¥25.18 per kilowatt-hour, with forecasts for temperatures reaching 35–37 degrees Celsius across regions starting August 26.
