Electric Power Development Co., Ltd. (OTCMKTS: EPWDF), commonly known as J-Power, is a Japanese utility company specializing in the generation and sale of electric power. The company’s core business activities encompass the operation and maintenance of thermal power plants, hydroelectric stations, and wind farms, as well as consulting and engineering services for energy infrastructure projects.
Founded in 1952 and headquartered in Chuo‐ku, Tokyo, J-Power began as a state-owned enterprise before being privatized in 2004. Over the decades, it has expanded its generation portfolio beyond conventional thermal and hydroelectric facilities to include renewable energy sources such as onshore and offshore wind. The company also engages in research and development aimed at improving efficiency and reducing environmental impact across its power generation assets.
While its primary market remains Japan, Electric Power Development has gradually grown its international footprint through equity partnerships and independent power projects in North America, Southeast Asia and Oceania. These overseas ventures often leverage J-Power’s engineering and project-management expertise to develop IPP (independent power producer) operations, encompassing fuel procurement, plant construction and long-term operations and maintenance.
In addition to power generation, J-Power offers a range of technical services including feasibility studies, grid interconnection design and full‐scale plant commissioning. The company’s strategic focus on diversifying its energy mix and expanding renewable capacity underpins its long-term growth objectives while addressing evolving regulatory and environmental standards in the global energy sector.
