JERA Co. Inc., Japan’s biggest liquefied natural gas importer and utility company, reported an almost 8 percent increase in quarterly revenues and a swing to profit compared with a loss in the same three months of last year.

JERA Co. Inc., the largest Japanese LNG importer and power utility operator, said fiscal first-quarter operating revenues from April through June 2022 more than doubled because of soaring sales by fuel trading subsidiary JERA Global Markets (JERAGM) as well as a year-on-year increase in electricity sales.

JERA Co. Inc., the main Japanese LNG importer, is taking a series of new measures to ensure a stable supply of electricity in Japan in the face of a changing market and geopolitical events.
