Frequently asked questions
Who is the Japanese government's role in TEPCO's investment governance?
The Japanese government holds 50.05% of TEPCO's voting shares through the Nuclear Damage Compensation and Decommissioning Facilitation Corporation (NDF), a state entity created in 2014. NDF reviews TEPCO's annual business plan and must approve any material divestiture or capital-raise — effectively giving the Ministry of Economy, Trade, and Industry veto power over the utility's investment committee. No single investment decision by TEPCO's internal allocators occurs outside NDF oversight.
How does the Fukushima liability constrain TEPCO's ability to allocate?
Total Fukushima-related costs — compensation, decontamination, and decommissioning — are estimated at ¥21.5 trillion through completion. TEPCO pays ¥500–600 billion annually toward these obligations, a structural cash-flow drain that forces the firm to treat its investment book as a contingent reserve. Asset sales and dividends from overseas holdings historically have been used to prefund compensation tranches before any allocation to new positions.
