The Electric Power Development Co., Ltd., known as J-POWER, is based in Ginza, Tokyo, and is Japan's largest electric utility. It generates electricity primarily from coal-fired plants and hydroelectric facilities, with a smaller portfolio of wind farms. The company has pursued a nuclear project at Ohma in Aomori prefecture, which was scheduled to commence operations in November 2014. J-POWER is the sole operator of the transmission network that interlinks Japan's four main islands. Recent developments illustrate ongoing partnerships and infrastructure modernization within the J-POWER Group. In March 2026, Toshiba Energy Systems & Solutions announced an order from J-POWER Transmission Network Co., Ltd. to design and install a voltage-sourced converter HVDC system for the renewal of Pole 1 of the Hokkaido-Honshu HVDC Link.
