TOKYO -- Soaring fuel prices are driving some new power retailers out of business and forcing many of those that remain to operate with ever-mounting losses. About 20% of these companies by late November had been forced to withdraw from the business or file for bankruptcy, according to Tokyo business research company Teikoku Databank.
Some of those that remain have stopped signing up new customers, the data provider said.
