- Kyushu Electric Power Company, Incorporated engages primarily in the generation, transmission, distribution, and retail sale of electricity across Japan, with a focus on the Kyushu region encompassing seven prefectures including Fukuoka, Nagasaki, Oita, Saga, Miyazaki, Kumamoto, and Kagoshima, as well as parts of Hiroshima Prefecture. Founded on May 1, 1951, and headquartered at 2-1-82 Watanabe-dori, Chuo-ku, Fukuoka, Japan, the company operates through key segments including Power Generation and Sales, Transmission and Distribution, ICT Services, Urban Development, Overseas Businesses, and Other Energy Services; it generates power from a diverse portfolio comprising hydroelectric (3,589,000 kW capacity across 139 facilities), thermal (8,035,000 kW across 6 facilities), nuclear (4,140,000 kW across 2 facilities), geothermal, solar, wind, biomass, and other renewable sources, while also constructing, maintaining, and selling electrical equipment, gas/LNG, coal, and renewable energy-related services. Additional offerings encompass data communication and optical broadband services, information systems and data centers, telecommunications infrastructure construction and maintenance, real estate and social infrastructure development, leasing for all-electric appliances, EV car-sharing, drone aerial photography, salmon farming, and cable diagnostic services for corporate clients.
In recent strategic developments, Kyushu Electric Power announced plans in July 2024 to transition to a pure holding company structure by establishing a new wholly-owned parent entity, with transfers of its hydroelectric power generation (conventional and pumped storage) business to Kyuden Mirai Energy Co., Ltd. and urban development business to a newly established subsidiary (tentative name) to enable optimized group management and agile operations, as updated in October 2025 disclosures. The company integrated its geothermal power operations into Kyuden Mirai Energy Company, Inc. effective April 2024 and, under its Kyuden Group Strategic Vision 2035 released in May 2025, committed approximately 1.5 trillion yen for renewables and carbon neutrality initiatives through FY2035, targeting 10 GW renewable capacity expansion, handling 15 TWh of renewable power annually by FY2035 via aggregation and O&M services for third parties, improved nuclear utilization to 90% average from FY2031, and energy intensity reduction to 0.29 kg-CO2/kWh from 0.347 kg in FY2023. Further, it issued multiple transition bonds in 2024 and 2025, including the 526th and 527th in May 2024, the 537th and 538th in November 2025, and entered a partnership with Ocean Power Grid for marine power transmission exploration following a 2023 memorandum of understanding.
