Tohoku Electric Power Co. was founded in 1951, a time when Japan was finally emerging from the postwar turmoil. Since then, Tohoku has been working together with the six prefectures of the Tohoku region and Niigata Prefecture, with a mission to provide quality services while maintaining a sense of mission regarding their role as a public utility. Tohoku supplies high-quality, reliable power and contribute to the development of local communities.
Tohoku combines multiple energy sources for power generation, including thermal, hydroelectric, geothermal, and solar energy, in such a way that ensures a steady and affordable electricity supply. Tohoku Electric Co. is committed to optimizing their energy mix to stably provide inexpensive electricity generated from green energy.
Tohoku Electric Co. has also joined overseas projects. They have invested in the Rantau Dedap Geothermal Power Project in Sumatra, Indonesia, in February 2018, the first geothermal power generation project they have ever participated in.
