What happened, for context

Japan's electricity prices reached their highest level since January 2023 on Monday, driven by a 20% weekly increase to ¥25.18 per kilowatt-hour. The surge reflects both an intense heat wave boosting demand and Middle East energy supply disruptions raising fuel costs, particularly for liquefied natural gas imports.
