Wind power(FY) Kyushu Electric Power is actively developing and introducing renewable energy, such as solar, wind, biomass, hydro and geothermal, which are effective
domestic power sources that also help to prevent global warming.
Since the inception of the feed-in tariff power purchase and sales system in July 2012, solar power has shown particularly rapid growth. The result of our
efforts to introduce solar power through March 2014 has been a total expansion of 1.92 million kW to a total of 2.72 kW, or 3.4 times the amount being
generated at the time the system commenced. Wind power has reached 0.43 million kW, for a solar/wind power total of 3.15 million kW.
With regard to the large-scale introduction of solar and wind power, going forward we will continue working to develop technologies related to grid stabili-
zation to ensure that we supply high-quality electricity with stable voltage and frequency.

Kyuden Mirai Energy was formed in July 2014 as a new company aggregating the Kyushu Electric Power Renewable Energy Department and the renew-
able energy ("renewables") business of our Group companies to promote renewables development and provide one-stop service that meets our custom-
ers’ diverse renewables needs.
New Group Company: Kyuden Mirai Energy
Business Outline
Q. What is the aim of concentrating the renewables business functions in a Group
company rather than in Kyushu Electric Power itself?
A. By having a Group company specialize in renewables development, we can provide one-stop
service that meets our customers’ renewables needs quickly and flexibly. Aggregating the
renewables business conducted by individual Group companies can also provide for more
efficient operations. Also, by maximizing the reinvestment of revenues using feed-in tariffs for
renewable energy sources we can further spread the use of renewables.
Q. What are the strengths and characteristics of the new company?
A. We possess the technology and know-how to execute everything from renewables testing
and planning through construction and operational control, and can develop power business
associated with a wide variety of renewables (solar, wind, geothermal, biomass and hydro).
Another of our strengths lies in our ability to provide related services, including a full range
of contracting services for other power generation businesses and onsite power generation
business at factories and other locations.
Q. What is your growth strategy?
A. In consideration of future market attractiveness and full exploitation of the know-how currently
possessed by the Kyushu Electric Power Group, we are making solar, wind, and geothermal our
priority strategic businesses, and by developing business overseas as well as outside Kyushu
region our goal is to grow to seven times our current level by the 10th year since our founding,
to the provision of 700,000 kW.
We will collaborate as a responsible operator with Kyushu Electric
Power to increase the use of renewables in regional communities.
