Hokkaidō Denryoku KK ( Japanese 北海道 電力 株式会社 , Hokkaidō denryoku kabushiki kaisha ; literally: Electrical energy Hokkaidō ; short: 北 電 , Hokuden ; English Hokkaido Electric Power Co., Inc .; short: HEPCO) is one of the smaller Japanese energy suppliers .
The service area includes the island of Hokkaidō . To avoid confusion with the Hokuriku Denryoku , the Hokkaidō Denryoku is sometimes abbreviated to Dōden ( 道 電 ) instead of Hokuden .
history
In April 1939, shortly before the start of the Second World War , all electricity-generating companies were nationalized and in 1942 they were merged into nine state-owned companies. At the instigation of Yasuzaemon Matsunaga , the chairman of the council for the reorganization of the electricity industry, the Allied occupation authorities let these nine companies privatize on May 1, 1951, one of which was the Hokkaidō Denryoku. These initially retained their regional monopolies and, after the ineffective liberalization of the electricity market in 1995, regional quasi-monopolies.
Power generation
The Tomari nuclear power plant belongs to the Hokkaidō Denryoku.
