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 power industry, the Allied occupation authorities had these nine companies privatized on May 1, 1951, one of which was the Kyūshū Denryoku. These initially retained their regional monopolies and, after the ineffective liberalization of the electricity market in 1995, regional quasi-monopolies.
In November 2005, Kyūden began supplying the city of Hiroshima with electricity. Since the opening of the Japanese electricity market, Kyūden has become the first supplier to sell electricity outside of its traditional area.
Power generation
The company's power plants also include the Genkai and Sendai nuclear power plants with a total of four active and two decommissioned reactors.
