Kyushu Electric Power’s Summary
Since its establishment in 1951, the mission of the Kyushu Electric Power Company has been to assure quality
and comfort in life for customers and their local communities by providing a stable supply of electricity.
We have weathered many changes, including post-war reconstruction and subsequent high economic growth,
the oil shocks of the 1970s, the development of high speed information systems and the recent deregulation
of the electric power industry. In the decades to come, we will continue to fulfill our social responsibility through
the discharge of our mission.
