caption_attribution_description: 日本語: 大阪市北区中之島3丁目の関電ビルディング。2004年12月竣工。地上41階、地下5階。高さ195.45m。設計は日建設計、ニュージェック。施工は竹中工務店、大林組、鴻池組、淺沼組、錢高組、奥村組からなる共同企業体。建築主は関電不動産。主要テナントは関西電力本店。窓を柱・梁（はり）よりも内側に置く外フレーム構造により直射日光を遮断するなど、省エネルギー技術を多く盛り込んだ。円筒形状の頂部は「liv-lit」（リブリット）と呼ばれる照明システムで、夜間に点灯し風の変化に応じて光の流れが変化する。手前（北隣）にある褐色のビルはダイビル本館。1925年9月に「大阪ビルヂング」として竣工。設計は渡辺節、施工は大林組。随所に見られる装飾が印象的な建築であるが、一帯の「中之島3丁目共同開発」により解体されることが決まっている。田蓑橋上から南南東向きに撮影。 English: Photograph of the KEPCO Building, headquarters of Kansai Electric Power Company, in Kita-ku, Osaka, Osaka Prefecture, Japan.
context_page_description: The Kansai Electric Power Co., Inc., also known as Kanden, is an electric utility with its operational area of Kansai region, Japan.
  The Kansai region is Japan's second-largest industrial area, and in normal times, its most nuclear-reliant. Before the Fukushima nuclear disaster, a band of 11 nuclear reactors – north of the major cities Osaka and Kyoto – supplied almost 50 percent of the region's power. As of January 2012, only one of those reactors was still running. In March 2012, the last reactor was taken off the powergrid.
