The Tokyo Power Company is also known as TEPCO.

It has some very nice graphics in a presentation on Japanese (and world) energy production in a presentation it recently released: http://www.tepco.co.jp/en/press/corp-com/presen/data/e_market.pdf

The graphics on page 29 show pretty clearly what countries around the world are doing for energy. Japan has the least coal dependency among major states in Asia. Japan does burn a lot of oil for power generation, and would like to avoid this reliance in the future.
