Here''s more about the 6th Strategic Energy Plan

On October 22, 2021, the Government of Japan published the 6th Strategic Energy Plan to show the direction of Japan''s energy policy. It explains our climate-related efforts to overcome challenges toward achieving carbon neutrality by 2050. It also covers policies to solve various issues in relation to the energy supply/demand structure of Japan.

Japan''s Long-Planned Photovoltaics: Space-Based Solar Power

Japan is spearheading the development of two promising technologies to make optimal use of both the Earth and space and fully harness the Sun''s power as electricity: space-based solar power and next-generation flexible solar cells.

RTS forecasts Japan''s PV installed capacity will reach 14.7 to 23.5

PV power generation in Japan has progressed from being introduced under the "Sixth Strategic Energy Plan" and "Global Warming Countermeasures Plan" to being introduced under the "GX Promotion Strategy" (GX refers to Green Transformation) approved by the Cabinet based on the "Basic Policy for the Realization of GX", and the

Solar power in Japan

As of July 2021, Japan was aiming at 108 GW of solar capacity by 2030. In May 2021, the Japanese Trade Ministry said that Japan may require up to 370 GW of solar capacity by 2050 to reach the goal of cutting carbon emissions to zero.

Why is agrivoltaics becoming more popular in Japan?

Moreover, initiatives like agrivoltaics and floating solar power plants are becoming more popular, allowing the country to capitalise on a growing portion of its potential solar capacity. Japan is home to over 50 of the world’s 100 largest floating solar facilities and around 2,000 agrivoltaic farms.

Is Japan's solar photovoltaic industry enviable to a successful energy transition?

Japan’s solar photovoltaic (PV) industry would seem enviable to countries committed to a successful energy transition.

Can solar energy be used in Japan?

To maximize the use of solar energy and overcome those drawbacks, two promising technologies have been developed: space-based solar power (SBSP) and next-generation flexible solar cells. Japan is making steady progress toward the practical implementation of both.
