High hurdles remain to be cleared in the pursuit of the stated 2030 mix—replacing and newly constructing nuclear power plants will be essential—but, as is stated above, none of this was touched on in the fourth energy basic plan.Discussions kicked off in the summer of 2017 toward formulating the fifth energy basic plan.

The latest iteration of the basic plan, its first revision in four years, sets forth targets for Japan’s energy mix in, as well as addressing issues concerning long-term energy options with the year 2050 as their focus.This year’s plan includes a statement that the government will aim to make renewable energy Japan’s main source of power by 2050 and a policy to proactively tackle introduction and expansion of renewables.
The plan is significant as it sets forth the government’s approach to energy policy for the future and is considered one of the key documents indicating the government’s direction with respect to national energy supply and energy markets. Energy consumption in Japan The most important measure in the energy balance of Japan is the total consumption of . This situation, however, completely flipped after the Great East Japan Earthquake of March 11, 2011, and the subsequent disaster at the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station. The Japan energy market analysis looks at the market trends, regulation and the competitive landscape facing the island nation following cabinet’s approval of its 5th Strategic Energy Plan in July 2018 as the basis for its energy policy to 2030 and beyond to 2050. For now, it continues to be considered a significant base load power source. Per capita this is an average of 7,474 kWh. ... renewable energy accounts for almost 15% of Japan’ energy mix but is dwarfed by coal at 30% and liquefied natural gas at almost 40%. USC plants emit less carbon dioxide per unit of electricity generation than traditional coal-fired plants, although their emissions are still nearly double that of natural gas plants.
But there was little concrete discussion along these lines, and these future solutions do not appear in the target energy mix for 2050.A country with few natural resources and a dismally low self-sufficiency rate (just 8% as of 2016), Japan used to proactively promote nuclear power as quasi-home-grown energy. Local citizen groups in Chiba and Hyogo Prefectures have recently successfully forced utility operators to completely abandon construction plans for several new large scale power plants. As it currently stands, renewable energy in Japan accounted for 15 percent of the energy mix in 2017, up from 10.7 percent in 2010. On July 3, 2018, the cabinet approved the fifth energy basic plan, spelling out the basic direction of Japan’s energy policy. On July 3, 2018, the Cabinet approved the new Strategic Energy Plan as the basis for the orientation of Japan's new energy policy towards 2030 and further towards 2050, considering the changes in energy environments inside and outside Japan. Now the slight hope of economic recovery has been dashed.To increase energy self-sufficiency after the 2011 nuclear disaster, renewables are Japan’s only option.The foreign minister's advisory panel on climate change is a wake-up call for Japan.Japan’s coal consumption is on the rise even as Europe plans a shift away from coal power. In the plan, METI maintained the same energy source ratio for 2030 as it had outlined in the previous strategic energy plan in 2013 and in its long-term energy supply and demand outlook issued in 2015.
