Japan Distributed Energy Industry Trends and Drivers
Japan's distributed energy market is developing rapidly in response to the country’s adoption of a decarbonization strategy and energy security. Solar PV and wind technology are leading the technology space with strong government support and an emphasis on renewable energy targets in Japan. There is a growing focus on fuel cells and micro-turbines due to their capabilities for efficient operation in residential and commercial applications, while reciprocating engines and combustion turbines meet the needs of industrial applications. The industrial segment represents the lion's share of end use demand, as energy is a major input in the manufacturing process of the sector. Commercial and residential sectors are also adopting distributed energy in Japan for cost-effective and sustainable energy use. Additionally, government policies such as feed-in tariffs and subsidies for clean energy use are facilitating the adoption of distributed energy.
The majority of activity is happening in the Kanto and Kansai/Kinki regions, where major metropolitan urban and industrial centers are located. The challenges presented by high upfront installation costs and grid integration are being addressed by advancements in energy storage and smart grid technologies. Japan's focus on disaster-resilient energy systems after the Fukushima disaster in 2011, combined with rapid technological advancements in micro-hydropower, such as energy generation with virtually no environmental footprint, is contributing positively to market growth. Overall, Japan is well-positioned to become a leader in the distributed energy sector in the Asia-Pacific region.
