Further introduction of renewable energies is a high priority in Japan
Significance of Renewable Energy Introduction in Japan
・ Population increase
Current global scenario
Current scenario in Japan
・ Economic growth
Increase of fossil fuel consumption
・ Depletion of fossil fuel・ Global warming
・ Almost 80% of Japan’s energy supply is imported
・ Commitment to reducing GHG to 6% below the 1990 level
Successful results : systematic promotion of the introduction and
・ Solar cell production / cumulative installed
dissemination of PV power generation systems
capacity in 2003 : ranked first in the world

Increase of production level
Focus on two aspects: R&D and installation support activities
Commenced based on the fruitful results of the Sunshine Project
Annual solar cell production volume・ Japan’s production volume has rapidly increased since 1998: 331MW in 2003・ Accounted for approx. 45% of the world production volume in 2003

Lessons LearnedLessons learned
Future focus
→Prevents unsubsidized market expansion
・ Establishment of laws, guidelines and regulations
・ Creation of national introduction targets
・ Establishment of subsidy systems
Renewable energies with less advantageous economic aspect:・ Combination of R&D and installation support activities is effective
・ Government’s involvement is important at the initial stage of introduction<Government’s involvement>
METI and NEDO continue active implementation of
