Japan’s New Energy Policy: Nuclear Power and Renewables Key to Future Growth
Japan is advancing a new energy policy that maximises nuclear power and expands renewable energy to meet rising electricity demand and ambitious decarbonisation targets. The plan envisions nuclear energy accounting for 20% of the supply by 2040 while renewable sources could supply up to 50%. This strategy also includes reducing reliance on coal and...
