No companies joined the exchange as non-fossil certificate (NFC) trading members while 14 left. With that, as of the end of June 2024, JEPX had 306 power trading members and 472 NFC trading members.

Some of the companies above appear to be consolidating their NFC trading capability ahead of an upcoming change in JEPX NFC trading fee structure. While the volume-based commission will decrease from 0.01 yen/kWh to 0.001 yen/kWh, the fixed annual membership fee will increase from 120,000 yen to 600,000 yen.
