Liberalized Market and Improved Trading Mechanisms Japan’s power sector has undergone significant liberalization following the Fukushima disaster. As of April 2016, residential and small-business consumers gained the freedom to choose among more than 250 electricity suppliers, fostering consumer choice. Electricity trading through the Japan Electric Power Exchange (JEPX)has expanded, offering both spot and forward markets since 2005. Additionally, in 2024 and 2025, the Tokyo Commodity Exchange (TOCOM)introduced weekly and fiscal-year electricity futures to help manage price volatility and demand fluctuations. Energy Source Shifts: Nuclear Resurgence and LNG Transitions Japan is ramping up nuclear power once more, aiming to restore its share to about 20% by 2040, compared to only 8.5% in 2023. This includes restarting older reactors and exploring new reactor technologies such as small modular reactors (SMRs). Meanwhile, LNG remains a key transitional fuel. A renewed focus on long-term LNG contracts has emerged, especially due to rising electricity demand from data centers and the need to hedge against energy volatility. Long-Term Supply Risks and Infrastructure Gaps China’s expansion of AI and related tech infrastructure is creating spiking electricity demand that could create strain, especially if aging power plants aren’t replaced. Projections show potential shortfalls ranging from 23 GW to 89 GWby 2050, depending on demand growth and infrastructure decisions.
