The Marubeni Group’s power business began in 1979 with a comprehensive Engineering, Procurement, and Construction (*EPC) project for a geothermal power plant in the Philippines. Building on the expertise and experience gained, Marubeni expanded in the 1990s into constructing and operating its own power generation facilities. The Group also entered the Independent Power Producer (IPP) business, selling electricity to utility companies. Today, Marubeni Group provides a stable, long-term power supply across 23 countries, including Japan. Additionally, the Group is focusing on renewable energy, such as wind and natural gas-fired power generation. As of December 2017, Marubeni’s attributable power generation capacity reached 12,284 MW, one of the largest among Japanese general trading companies.
