Electricity supply in Japan is carried out by independent regional electric power companies which require close communication to operate efficiently. In 1952, Japan's nine major electric power companies established the Federation of Electric Power Companies (FEPC) to promote smooth operations within the industry. Since then, the FEPC has played an important role as a base for communication between the power companies and as a forum for exchanging ideas on the evolution of the environment in the electricity industry. FEPC undertakes various activities aimed at ensuring operations of the electricity industry in keeping with the development of the country as a whole. With the restoration of Okinawa to Japan in 1972, the Okinawa Electric Power Company resumed its participation in Japan's electric power industry, becoming a full FEPC member in March 2000.
