  • Japan's Gas and Electricity Market Reform: the Third Revolution
    JAPAN'S GAS AND ELECTRICITY MARKET REFORM: THE THIRD REVOLUTION Hiroshi Hashimoto Institute of Energy Economics, Japan - IEEJ Disclaimer: This paper is prepared for general informational purposes only and is not intended to influence any specific actions. Views expressed this paper are the author's ones but do not represent the organisation's ones. Japan's city gas and electric power industries are undergoing unprecedented but somewhat anticipated structural changes brought about by the recent regulatory restructuring. The process in fact dates back as far as 1995, when gas sales to the largest industrial customers were opened for competition. The ensuing regulatory measures have been considered and implemented extremely carefully so as not to jeopardise security of supply at affordable prices to end consumers in a country who does not have a lot of energy production within its territory. During the period the country's LNG market has successfully grown to be the largest and the most diversified in the world in terms of volumes, as well as numbers of both supply sources, importers and their receiving facilities, incorporating great flexibility in procurement with around 30% of the total volumes coming from short-term contracts and spot cargo purchases supplementing the main-stream long-term purchase contracts. In the latest stage of the industry restructuring, as the retail markets are opened for competition, city gas and electric power companies are entering into each other's home grounds by taking advantage of their own muscles and expertise, leading to the most unique, realistic and useful competition in the energy consuming market in the world.

  • On the Appointment of a FEPC Chairman]
    Summary of Press Conference Comments Made by Satoru Katsuno, FEPC Chairman, on October 18, 2019 [On the Appointment of a FEPC Chairman] I am FEPC Vice Chairman Susumu Tsukiyama. I would like to announce the appointment of a new FEPC Chairman. Please refer to Document 1 at hand. President Iwane of the Kansai Electric Power Company has resigned as FEPC Chairman. Given this development, the FEPC General Policy Committee has elected in today’s session from among its members President Satoru Katsuno of Chubu Electric Power Company as the next Chairman of FEPC. The previous Chairman, President Iwane, will be absent from this press conference today. I ask for your kind understanding. Now, Chairman Katsuno will make his remarks. [Remarks from Chairman Katsuno] I am Satoru Katsuno of Chubu Electric Power Company. As just announced by Vice President Tsukiyama, I will be serving as FEPC Chairman again. This is my first press conference of FEPC Chairman since the press conference in June. I would like to ask for the continued support of the Energy Press Club and the media at large. Japan has been plagued by typhoons in the past month—Typhoon Faxai (15th typhoon of the season) hit the Kanto region in early September and Typhoon Hagibis (19th typhoon of the season) wreaked severe damage in eastern Japan last weekend, causing rivers to overflow. I offer my heartfelt condolences for those who lost their lives in the typhoons and express my deepest sympathies to the bereaved families and those who were affected. -1- The typhoons have caused wide-ranging outages in various parts of Japan, concentrating in the Kanto region.

  • Plans for the Utilization of Plutonium to Be Recovered at the Rokkasho Reprocessing Plant
    Reference Plans for the Utilization of Plutonium To Be Recovered at the Rokkasho Reprocessing Plant March 15, 2010 Federation of Electric Power Companies of Japan Japan Nuclear Fuel Ltd. (JNFL) has been performing active tests at the Rokkasho Reprocessing Plant (RRP) since March 2006 using spent fuel. These tests result in the separation of plutonium as a product of reprocessing. The Federation of Electric Power Companies of Japan (FEPC) is announcing the Japanese electric utilities’ plans to utilize plutonium in FY2010 as per the details attached, in the interests of transparency. According to the paper entitled “Concerning the Basic Position on Japan’s Use of Plutonium,” decided by the Atomic Energy Commission of Japan (AEC) on August 5, 2003, each utility shall announce a “Plutonium Utilization Plan” for its share of the plutonium to be recovered at RRP. In addition, in the “Framework for Nuclear Energy Policy,” decided by the AEC on October 11, 2005, and resolved by the Cabinet on October 14, 2005, the utilities are expected to announce their plans for the utilization of plutonium in an appropriate manner. Seeking to realize pluthermal generation as soon as possible, electric utilities are working to introduce pluthermal generation to 16-18 reactors across the country by FY2015 at the latest. FY2015 is the year for the projected commencement of operation of the Rokkasho MOX fuel fabrication plant. In the early stage of the program, the utilities are planning to use MOX fuel, manufactured overseas, using plutonium retained overseas (see separate supplementary explanation). Once the Rokkasho MOX fuel fabrication plant commences operation, plutonium recovered at RRP will also be used in due course.

  • Japan's City-Gas Market - Full Retail Competition and Partnership
    IEEJ:September 2018 © IEEJ2018 Japan's City-Gas Market - Full Retail Competition and Partnership Hiroshi Hashimoto, Yosuke Kunimatsu, and Gen Hosokawa Executive Summary Competition is gradually progressing in Japan's city-gas market, triggered by the full retail competition implemented in April 2017. Although the customer switching rate in the city-gas market may be lower than that of the electric power retail market, the number of customer switching is steadily increasing driven by new entrants from different business sectors, surpassing the one-million mark at the end of May 2018. While better quality of customer services has already been enjoyed by consumers due to the progress of liberalisation, more competitive, or lower, consumer gas prices are anticipated as a fruit of the restructuring. Players in the Japanese energy industry are entering an era of unprecedented competition, leading to significant restructuring of the nation's energy industry. Under such circumstances, Japanese energy players are searching opportunities to enhance their partnerships for their survival, trespassing regional and industry borders. Such partnerships should be very different in nature from traditional ones, which had been pursued to ensure stable supply of energy. Liberalisation should bring consumers of energy with great benefits through competition between energy providers. And progress of liberalisation should not have any adverse impacts on the final goal of stable gas supply. While stable supply continues being the most important, the regulatory framework of liberalisation of gas business should be continuously improved. Gas Group, Fossil Energy and International Cooperation Unit IEEJ:September 2018 © IEEJ2018 Japan's City-Gas Market - Full Retail Competition and Partnership Hiroshi Hashimoto, Yosuke Kunimatsu, and Gen Hosokawa Introduction More than one year has passed since Japan's city-gas retail market for all the market segments was opened for competition on 1 April 2017, mostly targeting smaller and residential customers this time.
