Providing power to Japan and the world backed by half a century of experience
J-POWER can look back on a proud history spanning over half a century as an electric power wholesaler with a proven track record of reliable, low-cost power supply. The nationwide network of power transmission trunk lines we have built and operate has made a significant contribution to Japan’s economic development and the improvement of living standards in Japan. In October 2004, we were listed on the First Section of Tokyo Stock Exchange and this completed our transformation to a private sector company in all aspects.
Our performance records as of July 2009 show that we have built and operate 67 power plants with a total output capacity of 16,985 megawatts and a transmission network of about 2,400 kilometers of power lines.
As part of our international commitment, since 1960 we have carried out 300 consulting service projects with 63 countries and regions mainly from the developing world. This has included surveying, design and construction supervision of hydroelectric and thermal power development as well as electric power consulting relating to environment protection measures. Recently, we have become engaged in a wide range of global operations such as IPP (Independent Power Producer) projects.
In recent years, we have experienced an adverse operating environment and dramatic changes in our operating environment, due mainly to slower growth in electric power demand, further deregulation in our industry and global warming. At the same time, this change has created new business opportunities. We will strive to enhance our corporate value by reinforcing our competitiveness in electricity wholesaling and building solid revenues and earnings foundations. We will also establish new operations based on the principle of effective coexistence between energy and the environment.
