Kanagawa Prefecture is located within the Tokyo metropolitan region, which accounts for 33% of Japan’s population and 37% of its economy. Kanagawa Prefecture is an attractive area that is continuing to grow thanks to industries with sophisticated technological capabilities and an abundant industrial work force. Numerous companies in the new energy sector that possess sophisticated technology are clustered here in Kanagawa Prefecture. Three organizations, namely, the prefectural government, the Kanagawa Industrial Promotion Center, and the Japan External Trade Organization (JETRO) Yokohama Trade Information Center, have joined together to introduce companies from among these new energy sector firms that are particularly interested in doing business or expanding overseas and have been recommended by local governments or business organizations. This pamphlet was published with the goal of widely publicizing these companies’ excellent products in an effort to produce new business opportunities and to thereby stimulate Kanagawa Prefecture’s industries and economy. Introduction to Kanagawa Prefecture Kanagawa Prefecture is located next to Tokyo. Access to the area is excellent because of its proximity to Tokyo International Airport—commonly known as Haneda Airport—as well as the Tokaido Shinkansen Line and Tomei Expressway, which both run through Kanagawa Prefecture and connect Tokyo and Osaka.

Foreign-Affiliated Firms Located in Kanagawa Prefecture There are 267 foreign firms headquartered in Kanagawa Prefecture. However, if plants and sales offices are included, the number of foreign-affiliated firms located here actually comes to 421. Based on the number of company headquarters, the prefecture boasts a concentration second only to Tokyo.

Cities linked by air service and bound by air-transport agreements

Kanagawa’s convenient rail network makes it possible to travel rapidly between Haneda Airport and cities in the prefecture. For example, you can reach Haneda Airport within thirty minutes from both of Kanagawa’s main rail stations, Yokohama and Kawasaki, which is less time than it takes to get to Haneda from Tokyo Station.

Kanagawa 2 Kanagawa Smart Energy Concept

The Kanagawa Prefectural Government is promoting the “Kanagawa Smart Energy Concept” to compensate for the shortage of electricity caused by the nuclear power plant accident and to ensure a stable supply of safe and secure energy in the future. Based on this concept, we are promoting “energy creation,” which is the expansion of the electricity supply through the encouragement of the introduction of renewable energy sources, such as solar power. We are also aiming for “energy saving,” that is, to cut electricity use during peak times, and for “energy storage,” which is the shifting of peak electricity demand. With these goals, we are taking a comprehensive approach to the energy supply.

Background Mid- and long-term comprehensive energy policies are necessary to cope with the electricity shortage caused by the accident at the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station and to ensure a safe and secure energy supply in the future.

Three Principles

Do not depend excessively on nuclear power generation Shift from an energy system centered on electric power Be environmentally friendly companies to a distributed energy system centered on Promote local production of energy communities for local consumption

Three Efforts

Three campaigns

Promoting the adoption of solar power generation Energy creation (Installations through the Kanagawa Solar Banking Promoting the adoption of renewable energy sources, System’s fund for private residents, among other primarily solar power generation methods)

Energy saving Promoting energy conservation schemes at factories Promoting reduction of use during peak hours to and businesses reduce electric power consumption volume Promoting household energy conservation measures

Energy storage Promoting adoption of stationary batteries Promoting power peak shifts for efficient use of stored electric power Promoting adoption of electric vehicles

3 Kanagawa Efforts target By 2020, we are aiming to increase the results of our “Create Energy” and “Save Energy” projects by more than 20% by combining them with the results of our “Store Energy” project.

Annual prefectural electric power consumption Approximately 50.2 billion kWh

Cutting consumption Energy saving – about 4% Energy saving – about 4% through energy saving Energy creation – about 6% Energy creation – about 16% Boosting supply Renewable energy sources capabilities through Around 2.3% Energy storage energy creation (1.155 billion kWh)

Total: Over 20%

FY2009 (most recent data) FY2014 FY2020 (target)

The above diagram is not meant to show that the amount of electric power produced in the prefecture is all directly consumed there. Further, the term “energy creation” includes power generated by pumped-storage hydroelectric plants and from waste power generation along with renewable energy sources
