What Japan Electric Power Information Center, USA does

Japan Electric Power Information Center, USA (JEPIC-USA) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization established in 2017 and headquartered in Washington, D.C., with a stated headcount of 7 employees. It functions as a U.S.-based hub for cross-border research and information exchange on electric power and broader energy and environmental issues, operating alongside sister offices in Tokyo, Paris, and Beijing that together cover the United States, Japan, Europe, and China.

The organization's core products are content publications built on a domain-specialized information aggregation and analysis capability: The Electric Power Industry in Japan (EPIJ) annual booklet, detailed Research Reports, the monthly Japan Energy Newsletter, and a continuously updated Digest Archive of short summaries on U.S. and Japanese energy policy and market developments. Distribution is primarily digital — through the jepic-usa.org website, email newsletter, and an Events channel — with the digest archive showing active publication into July 2026. Its differentiators are the cross-border reach enabled by the sister-office network and the accumulated reputational equity of the EPIJ reference publication.

JEPIC-USA's business model is nonprofit and not commercially priced: revenue mechanics are not disclosed, but the structure is consistent with membership fees, grants, and donations from Japanese and U.S. energy industry and government stakeholders. The go-to-market motion is community-led, focused on building partnerships across country borders among industry influencers rather than selling a product. Customer segments are horizontal: Japanese industry and government (primary), U.S. energy stakeholders, and a general public audience; no individual customer logos, management team, or financial figures are disclosed.

Others

• International Association for Energy Economics (IAEE): International nonprofit professional association for energy economists producing journals, conferences, and policy discussions on global energy issues. Comparable to JEPIC-USA as a non-commercial energy information convener, but focused on academic and professional energy economics rather than bilateral US-Japan intelligence.
• Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS) Energy Program: Washington-based bipartisan think tank publishing energy and climate policy research, including Japan-related work. Comparable to JEPIC-USA as a DC-based policy research outlet serving government and corporate stakeholders with publications and events on US and international energy issues.
• Atlantic Council Global Energy Center: US-based think tank program producing energy policy research, briefs, and convenings on global energy issues including trans-Atlantic and Indo-Pacific cooperation. Comparable to JEPIC-USA as a DC-based energy policy publisher targeting government and industry audiences, though operating without a Japan-specific bilateral mandate.
• Brookings Energy Security Initiative: US think tank program producing research and convenings on US and global energy policy, including the economic and geopolitical dimensions of energy markets. Comparable to JEPIC-USA as a DC-based research publisher serving government and industry with publications on energy policy, though without a specific Japan bilateral mandate.

Direct peers

• Rocky Mountain Institute (RMI): Independent nonprofit energy research organization publishing analyses on energy transition, policy, and markets. Comparable to JEPIC-USA as a mission-driven research publisher operating outside academia and government, though RMI is significantly larger and focused on clean energy transition rather than US-Japan bilateral exchange.
• Institute of Energy Economics, Japan (IEEJ): Japan-based nonprofit think tank conducting energy policy, market, and technology research with both Japanese- and English-language publications. Closest structural analog to JEPIC-USA: similar nonprofit status, research-publication model, and Japan-focused mandate, with a broader global footprint that JEPIC-USA effectively complements from Washington.

Broad incumbents

• Wood Mackenzie: Global commercial research and consultancy covering energy, renewables, and metals markets with deep coverage of US power markets and growing Japan/APAC focus. Comparable in subject matter (US-Japan power markets, regulation, and policy) but differs in being a for-profit paid-research model with orders of magnitude more headcount.
• World Energy Council: Global, UN-accredited energy network with national member committees (including a Japanese committee) producing energy outlooks, scenario analysis, and policy research. Comparable to JEPIC-USA as a non-commercial, international energy information convener, but with a much broader geographic and stakeholder scope.
• S&P Global Commodity Insights: Commercial research and data provider covering global energy markets, power, and policy with substantial Japan and US coverage. Overlaps with JEPIC-USA's content scope (electricity markets, regulation, business models) but operates as a paid, data-and-analytics platform at vastly greater scale.
• BloombergNEF: Commercial energy research arm of Bloomberg producing market intelligence on power, fuels, policy, and clean energy across global markets including the US and Japan. Overlaps with JEPIC-USA's tracking of US and Japanese policy, market, and regulatory developments, but operates as a paid subscription service at much larger scale.
