Message From the President

Kansai Transmission and Distribution, Inc. began operations in April 2020 as a general power transmission and distribution business that split from The Kansai Electric Power Company, Incorporated in accordance with the revision of the Electricity Business Act.

In accordance with the spirit of the law, we will meet the expectations of society and our customers with fairness and integrity as the basis of our business activities.

The new wheeling charge system in place from fiscal 2023 will help us build and operate efficient transmission and distribution facilities in light of aging facilities and construction of next-generation power networks as part of expanding renewable energy to help create a carbon neutral society and strengthening resilience to deal with increasingly serious natural disasters. We will carry out our unchanging mission of delivering safe, stable, and low-priced electricity by steadily following a business plan under this system and in line with the wishes of our stakeholders.

We will also continue to find ways to utilize our strengths cultivated in the power transmission and distribution business in undertaking new business, both in Japan and overseas, we will grow together as a group along with subsidiaries Kanden Engineering Corp. and The Kanden Services Co., Inc., and we will continue to evolve as a multi-platform energy business* that provides new value to our customers and society without limiting ourselves to electricity wheeling business.

Kansai Transmission and Distribution will continue to provide services to customers and society based on our mission of "Serving and Shaping the Vital Platform for a Sustainable Society" with dedication to fair and sincere business activities, including strict compliance with laws and regulations, as well as ensuring safety. We look forward to your continued support.

Takayuki Hakugin, President and Director, Kansai Transmission and Distribution, Inc.
