President’s message

To our shareholders and investors,

Guided by the philosophy of creating a brighter future, the Kyuden Group has been working as one to realize the Management Vision 2030, which aims to contribute to a sustainable society and realizing further progress for the Kyuden Group.

We have made steady progress in our efforts towards carbon neutrality, including the stable operation of nuclear power plants and the expansion of renewable energy development by the integration of businesses. We have also reached our FY2025 ordinary income target of ¥125 billion ahead of schedule, demonstrating that we are well on track towards realizing our vision.

At the same time, the environment around us is transforming rapidly with increasingly unstable international circumstances, severe disasters stemming from climate change, innovations like generative AI, and diverse work styles.

With these new opportunities and challenges in mind, we have formulated the Kyuden Group Strategic Vision 2035, which incorporates long-term perspectives on the value we wish to provide society by 2050.

This vision reflects our commitment to combine the strengths of Kyushu andour group's capabilities to support the growth and the development of the region, and to continue to providing value for Kyushu, reaching new heights as we grow together.

The region Kyushu is seeing the growth of new industries, such as semiconductors and data centers, supported by talented people and abundant renewable energy sources. We expect that electricity demand will continue to increase in the future.

It is our role to support this virtuous cycle and to go beyond the energy sector by creating new businesses and services that respond to diverse needs, solving social issues, and generating both social and economic value. In doing so, we aim to further enhance our corporate value.

The foundation for this is our people and the organization.

We are currently considering a new organizational structure to strengthen our group management function and promote autonomous management within each business, as well as working on the QX (Kyuden Transformation) Project, which encourages growth and value creation by both individuals and the organization.

To achieve our vision, it is essential that each group company - and above all each employee - can fully realize their abilities within their respective fields.

By advancing initiatives like the QX Project and focusing on human capital development, we aim to connect our employees’ aspirations into the growth of the Kyuden Group.

Through group-wide efforts to realize the Strategic Vision 2035, we are determined to evolve into a corporate group that creates a new tomorrow through energy, aiming ever higher from Kyushu to Japan and beyond.

We kindly ask for your ongoing understanding and cooperation.

President & Chief Executive Officer
