As the deployment of variable renewable energy sources such as solar and wind accelerates toward achieving carbon neutrality, the importance of functions that balance power supply and demand continues to grow. In this context, the value of hydropower—an energy source that combines exceptional supply stability with operational flexibility—is rising significantly. Furthermore, as efforts to restart existing nuclear power plants advance in parallel with the expansion of solar and wind power, pumped storage hydropower, often described as “nature’s battery,” is expected to play an even more critical role in the power system. Our mission is to contribute to society and the environment through our hydropower business and build a sustainable future. We will fulfill this social role by developing innovative technologies and providing highly reliable products and services.
To ensure the sustainable growth of our business, we continuously address challenges such as supply chain management and talent acquisition. We also pursue technological development through partnerships with external entities, including industry-academia collaborations.

Our corporate statement, "Quest for Nature's Potential," expresses our commitment to "continuously explore ways to safely and efficiently harness the energy of nature's water." We aim to sensitively respond to the ever-changing needs of society, deliver the products and services our customers require while growing ourselves, contribute to realizing a low-carbon society and stable power supply, and bring happiness to all our stakeholders.
