Technical FAQs 4

Is solar energy the future of Japan's Energy Strategy?

Solar energy in Japan is emerging as a cornerstone of Japan’s strategy to meet its ambitious long-term sustainability goals. The Sixth Strategic Energy Plan aims for carbon neutrality by 2050 with an interim goal of 36-38% of energy from renewables by 2030.

Why is solar power growing in Japan?

The steady growth of solar power in Japan is attributed to several factors, including the country’s focus on energy security, economic efficiency and environmental sustainability. Post-Fukushima, there was a national reevaluation of energy sources.

Does Japan need solar energy?

This will need to dramatically increase for Japan to stay aligned with its renewable energy and decarbonisation goals. Solar energy in Japan is emerging as a cornerstone of Japan’s strategy to meet its ambitious long-term sustainability goals.

How much does solar power cost in Japan?

It is found that Japan has sufficient solar PV, wind, and pumped hydro potential to support 100% renewable electricity and even 100% renewable energy. Importantly, a wide range of scenarios yield costs in the range US$86–110/MWh which are competitive with current spot prices.
