Exclusive-JERA begins study on US listing as it steps up overseas expansion, sources say

JERA, Japan's largest power generator, has initiated a feasibility study for a potential U.S. stock market listing as part of its strategy to expand internationally and diversify funding sources. The move follows increased interest from overseas institutional investors and reflects JERA's broader efforts to engage global investors. While the study is still in its early stages, JERA has not yet decided on specifics like the timing of an IPO, listing structure, or valuation. The company, which owns significant portions of Japan's power infrastructure, is investing heavily in both traditional and renewable energy projects, particularly in the U.S., where it is considering large-scale gas-fired power plants to meet rising electricity demand. This trend aligns with a growing pattern of Japanese companies seeking access to U.S. capital markets to support their global growth strategies.
