WHY NOW
Japan's power market is uniquely opaque. Most data platforms treat it as an afterthought.
Japan's power market is undergoing simultaneous reform across multiple dimensions — how retailers must secure physical supply ahead of delivery, how wide-area interconnection is planned and funded, how capacity and balancing markets evolve, and how renewable integration reshapes the supply stack.
For international participants, the challenge is straightforward: virtually every primary source — METI working-group minutes, OCCTO filings, consultation documents — exists only in Japanese.
eCompass tracks these developments and delivers the analysis in English, as they happen.
CHALLENGES
Sound familiar?
The frustrations we hear again and again from trading desks and asset-operations teams.
01
Market data is scattered
Power, fuel, and FX data live in separate places, making P&L forecasting and price fixing slow.
02
Fuel-cost & spread math is heavy
Computing FCA forwards and generation economics from the legacy utility formula in-house is labour-intensive.
03
Hard to keep up with fuel markets
There is no routine way to track the link between global benchmarks (JKM, TTF, JCC) and domestic power prices.
04
Slow to react to regulatory change
Unable to track regulatory and advisory council developments in real time, strategic responses end up perpetually one step behind.
05
Data wrangling eats your time
Collecting and cleaning data from multiple sources leaves little time for the analysis itself.

DATA COVERAGE
Japan power intelligence you can't buy elsewhere.
Regulatory & Market Design
WHAT WE COVER
Reports reviewing discussions at METI advisory councils focused on wholesale market design, including capacity market rule changes, mid-term supply security, and reform of the Electricity Business Act. Coverage is based on published council minutes and materials, delivered in both English and Japanese.
WHY IS IT ESSENTIAL
Japan's regulatory environment changes constantly; missing a key rule change can invalidate an entire strategy. The hardest intelligence to obtain without a resident team.
Power Fundamentals & Interconnection
Daily generation capacity by fuel mix, planned and unplanned outages, and interconnection-line capacity across all 9 bidding areas.
Interconnection constraints are the single biggest driver of area price divergence. Understanding the Tokyo–Kansai spread requires this structural data.
Proprietary Japan Curves
Proprietary indices unavailable elsewhere — JLC (Japan LNG Curve) and JCoalC (Japan Coal Curve) — plus area-spread forwards, spark/dark-spread forwards, and 48-slot forward decomposition.
Built specifically for Japan's market structure. None of these are available from any other data provider.
Japan Power Market Analysis
Weekly analysis of Japan's spot and forward markets including price drivers, supply-demand dynamics, area divergence, and what to watch ahead, covering JEPX spot and forward-curve shifts.
Data tells you what happened. Analysis tells you why, and what it means for your next position. The layer that can't be automated.
Proprietary indices: JLC & JCoalC
Derived from international commodity futures prices and Japan trade statistics data through statistical modelling, delivering fuel forward curves calibrated to Japan's actual market conditions — unavailable from any other source.
