Over the last 100 years the work of CIGRE, through its collaborative knowledge programme and publications, has contributed to many of the key technical cornerstones of the modern power system.

The Japanese National Committee of CIGRE established in 1953 is the National Committee and local representative organisation of CIGRE in Japan. We are proud to be part of CIGRE’s global knowledge programme of work. We are committed to understanding our local conditions and feeding that into the technical programme to find solutions for our local challenges, as well as contribute to the wider community.

We also foster our local talent and help our members to prepare for the future and inform their decision making with diverse perspectives from the CIGRE world. We welcome your involvement!

CIGRE Japan is also an active member in the CIGRE AORC (The Asia-Oceania Regional Council of CIGRE), which is an CIGRE umbrella regional organisation for National Committees within Asia Oceania.

The National Committee of CIGRE of Japan, known as JNC, was formed to provide a mechanism for Japanese experts to participate in CIGRE’s international cooperative efforts. Through the JNC, Japanese technical knowledge has been made available to other nations, technical knowledge from other nations has been provided to Japan, and the overall knowledge among the various national participants has been advanced.
