Following the increase in output at Sendai Nuclear Power Station Units 1 and 2,
the utilization rate for FY2017 recovered to 36.7%.
We expect a dramatic increase in FY2018 due to the restart of Genkai Nuclear
Power Station Units 3 and 4.
The Kyuden Group consists of Kyushu Electric Power, 56 subsidiaries and 33
affiliated companies.
The stable operation of Sendai Nuclear Power Station Units 1 and 2 throughout
FY2017, and the increase in power generated by renewable energies, enabled a
decrease of approximately 6% over FY2016 in CO2 emissions.
In FY2017, we maintained a high level of thermal efficiency (41.8% at power
generation end) due to the completion of gradual renewal work (began in 2009)
for six highly efficient gas turbines at Shin-Oita Power Station Unit 1, and by
keeping highly efficient thermal power plants operating at high levels.

Electric Power
(As of March, 2018)
As of the end of March 31, 2018, the capacity of solar and wind power equip-
ment on mainland Kyushu stood at approximately 8,360 MW. As of the end of
March 31, 2017, solar and wind power FIT equipment capacity on mainland
Kyushu accounts for approximately 18% of the national capacity.
In FY2017, we achieved our FY2014–FY2018 target to double the number of
female employees promoted to management positions over FY2009–FY2013.
In order to encourage safety activities throughout the company, we have imple-
mented internal measures such as the establishment of a Companywide Safety
Promotion Committee, as well as formulating the Action Plan for Companywide
Safety Promotion as a common initiative to be shared among all divisions.
The Kyuden Group owns about 45% of all Japan’s geothermal power genera-
tion facilities, including Hatchoubaru Geothermal Power Station, Japan’s
largest.
