JEPIC

What JEPIC does

JEPIC (Japan Electric Power Information Center, Inc.; 一般社団法人 海外電力調査会) is a Tokyo-headquartered, membership-funded general incorporated association (ippan shadan hōjin) established in May 1958. It was founded by nine Japanese electric power companies together with Electric Power Development Co. (J-Power) to systematically collect and disseminate intelligence on overseas electric power industries; Japan Atomic Power joined in 1974 and Okinawa Electric Power in 2001. Its core activities are organized into three areas: research and information services (調査研究事業), international exchange (国際交流事業), and international cooperation (国際協力事業) carried out largely through JICA-administered training for developing Asian economies.

The product portfolio centers on subscription-based research. The flagship 'JEPIC Club Letter' delivers overseas energy and electric power news to club subscribers; the '海外諸国の電気事業' (Electric Power Business in Foreign Countries) book series provides country- and region-by-region reference analysis, with new editions for India and EU markets released in June 2026; the '海外電気事業短信' (Overseas Electric Power News Briefs) is a filterable global news service; and '個別レポート' (Individual Reports) plus 'JEPICDB' deliver deeper analytical and database access for members. The organization maintains three overseas offices — Washington DC (1974), Paris (1979), and Beijing (resident post 1985, joint office 2002, full office 2009) — and established JEPIC-USA in 2017.

JEPIC's go-to-market is sales-led and relationship-based, with direct membership services to Japanese electric power companies, JEPIC Club subscriptions, and JICA-funded training programs for developing-country trainees and foreign utilities (Laos EDL, Cambodia EDC, Sri Lanka CEB, Vietnam EVN). Revenue is not publicly disclosed and is implicitly derived from member company dues, subscription income, and project-based international cooperation fees. As of March 31, 2026, the organization employs 74 staff including overseas office personnel.

Direct peers

• World Energy Council (WEC): Global, UN-accredited membership organization covering the full energy value chain with research, country reports (World Energy Issues Monitor), and convening power. Closest global analog to JEPIC in terms of member-funded international energy intelligence.
• Energy UK: UK energy industry trade association that represents generators and suppliers and conducts research and policy work. Explicitly listed by JEPIC as a related organization; closest UK analog.
• Edison Electric Institute (EEI): US electric utility trade and information association, explicitly listed by JEPIC as a related international partner. Comparable as a member-driven electric-power industry body that conducts research, briefings, and international exchange on behalf of utilities.
• Korea Energy Economics Institute (KEEI): Korea's government-affiliated energy economics research institute producing country-level energy analyses, outlooks, and policy briefs for the Korean power sector — comparable in mandate and Asian-regional context.
• The Institute of Energy Economics, Japan (IEEJ): Japan's leading energy economics think tank with a similar nonprofit research mandate. Both are Tokyo-based member-supported organizations producing energy outlooks, country analyses, and policy research for Japanese and international stakeholders — the closest functional analog to JEPIC domestically.
• EURELECTRIC: European electricity industry association representing the sector at EU level and producing research and policy positions on power markets. Named by JEPIC as a related-link partner; same member-funded industry-association model.
• Oxford Institute for Energy Studies: Independent global energy research institute producing deep, country-and-topic-level studies on oil, gas, power, and transition. Highly comparable to JEPIC's mandate of independent, country-level electric-power intelligence for industry users.
• Electricity Canada: National association representing Canada's electricity sector with research, policy positions, and international engagement. Listed by JEPIC as a related organization; same utility-association model and intelligence function.

Regional players

• Japan External Trade Organization (JETRO) — Energy / Invest desks: Japanese government-affiliated organization producing country and sector intelligence used by Japanese corporations going overseas. Adjacent rather than direct: differs in scope (trade and investment broadly), but matches JEPIC's Japan-centric, member-supported international intelligence model.

Broad incumbents

• International Energy Agency (IEA): Intergovernmental energy policy and data authority publishing flagship energy statistics, outlooks, and thematic reports. Not a peer organization structurally, but functionally comparable as a globally recognized publisher of energy intelligence and a frequent JEPIC cooperation partner (e.g., June 2026 'Scaling Up Demand Flexibility' report).
