Recommendations for Power System Restructuring Toward Further Deployment of Renewables This Paper Reviews the Path Of Recommendations for Power System Restructuring Toward Further Deployment of Renewables October 2020 Renewable Energy Institute Acknowledgements In preparing these Recommendations, we interviewed energy specialists at government agencies, the Electricity and Gas Market Surveillance Commission, energy companies, consultancies, universities, and independent research institutes and received from them many helpful suggestions. We would like here to express our gratitude to them. These Recommendations were written by Renewable Energy Institute (REI)’s Power System Restructuring Research Team. The primary authors are listed below (in Japanese alphabetical order). Hiroshi Takahashi, a senior research fellow at REI and professor at Tsuru University, led the research team and provided suggestions for the writing overall. Hiroshi Takahashi Senior Research Fellow / Professor, Tsuru University Keiji Kimura Senior Researcher (Chapter 3, Part 3) Mika Ohbayashi Director Mika Kudo Senior Researcher Seiichiro Kimura Senior Researcher Tatsuya Wakeyama Senior Research Fellow / Associate Professor, Kyushu University (Chapter 4, Part 1) This Recommendation is translated from "電力システム改革に対する提言:自然エネルギーのさらなる導入 拡大に向けて" released on 14 May 2020. In case of discrepancy between this English translation and the Japanese original, the Japanese text prevails. Disclaimer: Although the information given in this report is the best available to the authors at the time, Renewable Energy Institute cannot be held liable for its accuracy and correctness. About Renewable Energy Institute Renewable Energy Institute is a non-profit think tank which aims to build a sustainable, rich society based on renewable energy. It was established in August 2011, in the aftermath of the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant accident, by its founder Mr. Son Masayoshi, Chairman & CEO of SoftBank Corp., with his own resources.

  • Economic and Energy Outlook Towards FY2014 —Japan’S Economy Gets Back on Track and Energy Demand Starts to Increase—
    IEEJ: August 2013. All rights reserved. IEEJ Special Seminar 7th August 2013 Economic and Energy Outlook towards FY2014 —Japan’s economy gets back on track and energy demand starts to increase— YANAGISAWA Akira, T. Yoshioka, H. Suzuki, Choi J. W., R. Ikarii, S. Iwata, Y. Shibata, K. Ito The Energy Data and Modelling Center The Institute of Energy Economics, Japan Summary of topics 1. Rigorous and well staffed safety checks lead to big impacts from nuclear restart p.16 The ability of the Nuclear Regulation Authority to complete its safety assessments will significantly influence the timing of nuclear reactors’ restart. If the Authority forms three teams and if each assessment requires six months, conditional on reception from the nuclear host communities, six reactors at most and 16 reactors will restart by the end of FY2013 and FY2014, respectively. They will operate for seven months in FY2014 on average, generating 73 TWh of electricity (Mid–level Case). In the Mid–level Case, electricity generated from nuclear power in FY2014 will remain a quarter of the FY2010 level, increasing the power generation cost by JPY3.2/kWh from the FY2010 level. Total import value of fossil fuels will increase by JPY7 trillion ($70 billion) and the CO2 emissions from fuel combustion will increase by 70 Mt–CO2 (+6.2%). If the safety assessments take twice as long (i.e. one year rather than six months), only six reactors at most will restart by the end of FY2014 (Low–level Case). On the other hand, if the Authority increases the number of teams, 28 reactors will operate for seven months on average in FY2014 (High–level Case).

  • Identifying the “Fukushima Effect”: Assessing Japanese Mass Media Coverage of International Nuclear Power Decisions

Immediately following the nuclear crisis, countries such as Switzerland and Germany that have relied historically on nuclear power utilization started to seriously reconsider safety measures surrounding nuclear power generation. Such considerations led to the June 2011 decision in the German Bundestag that went into force on August 6, 2011. In the process of determining its own domestic nuclear energy policy, assessments and evaluations of other countries’ responses in the aftermath of “3.11” have appeared frequently in Japan’s domestic mass media. Yet have the nuclear energy policies in certain other countries such as Germany been singled out for comparison with Japan’s own energy strategies and priorities? Furthermore, has such coverage tended to focus on the positive or negative aspects of nuclear energy? In this paper, we assess the characteristics of Japanese mass media coverage of public opinion concerning nuclear energy policy in other countries.

    Stranded Assets and Thermal Coal in Japan: An analysis of environment-related risk exposure Working Paper May 2016 Authors: Ben Caldecott | Gerard Dericks | Daniel J. Tulloch | Lucas Kruitwagen | Irem Kok About the Sustainable Finance Programme The Sustainable Finance Programme at the University of Oxford’s Smith School of Enterprise and the Environment was established in 2012 (originally as the Stranded Assets Programme) to understand how finance and investment intersects with the environment and sustainability. We seek to understand the requirements, challenges, and opportunities associated with a reallocation of capital towards investments aligned with global environmental sustainability. We seek to understand environment-related risk and opportunity, both in different sectors and systemically; how such factors are emerging and how they positively or negatively affect asset values; how such factors might be interrelated or correlated; their materiality (in terms of scale, impact, timing, and likelihood); who will be affected; and what affected groups can do to pre-emptively manage risk. We recognise that the production of high-quality research on environment-related factors is a necessary, though insufficient, condition for these factors to be successfully integrated into decision-making. Consequently, we also research the barriers that might prevent integration, whether in financial institutions, companies, governments, or regulators, and develop responses to address them.
