What percentage of Japan's Energy is generated by wind power?
In , the percentage of natural energy demand was 21.7% of their total generated power. Among this, 0.9% of this energy was generated through wind power. In recent years, Japan has come to focus on wind power generation because there are limited locations for solar panels, causing Japan to take unique measures such as offshore wind construction.
How does wind power affect Japan's energy mix?
Let’s take a closer look. Although its contribution to Japan’s energy mix is still modest, the proportion that wind power has contributed has been growing steadily in recent years. As of March , Japan’s installed wind capacity totals 6.2 GW, of which 5.9 GW is onshore and 0.3 GW is offshore (METI).
What is Japan's wind power potential?
The country’s exclusive economic zone has an offshore wind potential for 50 times more electricity than its current electricity consumption. The Japan Wind Power Association (JWPA) acknowledges the country’s immense potential. It has set the ambitious goal of increasing capacity to 140 GW by from just 5 GW today.
How can Japan boost the wind industry?
To jump-start the industry, the Government of Japan enacted a new law in to promote the use of general sea areas within its territory by building renewable energy power generation facilities. That led to the designation of eight offshore areas for wind development by the end of .
How much wind power does Japan need?
The GWEC and GWO note that Japan has installed 4.5 GW of onshore and 52 MW of offshore wind power capacity. The country plans to add 3.5 GW of onshore and close to 1 GW of offshore wind energy by . Onshore and Offshore Wind Additions and the Forecast Workforce Needs for C&I. Source: GWEC and GWO
Does Japan need offshore wind power?
Zero Carbon Analytics shows Japan’s total technical potential for offshore wind power generation is over 9,000 TWh/year. This is over nine times its projected electricity demand in . Studies estimate that Japan has 14 times more solar and offshore wind resources than needed to supply 100% renewable electricity.
