The "Electric Power Pavilion — Eggs of Possibilities" by the Federation of Electric Power Companies of Japan (FEPC) will open at Expo 2025 Osaka, Kansai. The Expo will run from April 13 to Oct 13, 2025.

At the pavilion, interactive, egg-shaped devices light up and vibrate, allowing visitors to explore 29 energy sources through games and hands-on exhibits. These range from nuclear fusion and vibration power generation to wireless power transmission.

The pavilion is divided into three sections:

• Pre-Show: An introduction to energy basics and the interactive egg devices.
• Main Show: Featuring 26 interactive exhibits, including energy-related games.
• Post-Show: Offering in-depth explanations of various energy technologies.

The full experience lasts about 45 minutes.

'Collecting' Energy

In the Possibility Zone of the Main Show, visitors can try activities like "collecting" projected deuterium and tritium by hand to learn about nuclear fusion. They can also play a Red Light, Green Light game to experience vibration power generation.

The Brilliance Zone combines synchronized LED lights and music, creating an immersive display of energy's potential.

To ensure accessibility, the pavilion offers multilingual support in 32 languages. This was developed with Osaka University's language clubs and other partners. Visitors can scan QR codes with their smartphones for explanations, making the experience welcoming for all ages and backgrounds.

Pavilion Director Yasunobu Okada shared, "We aimed for simple, easy-to-understand exhibits. We hope children — the leaders of the future — can grasp the importance of energy."
