Japan's future energy observation: current situation and Prospect of energy import in Japan
At present, the total import of renewable energy in Japan is about 3.2 times of that before the start of fit system.
Among them, 17.4% of the total is generated by natural energy including domestic consumption.
Although the import rate of renewable energy has declined in recent years, the proportion of renewable energy will be increased to 22-24% of the total energy by 2030.
In order to ensure the stability of energy, it is very important to maintain the balance between the supply and demand of energy in the long run.
In recent years, with the rapid development of solar power and wind power generation, it is an indisputable fact that the demand balance still needs to rely on the intervention of thermal power stations.
But on the other hand, in the case of better weather, the current overall output of solar power has exceeded its demand.
Therefore, in the future, we can consider applying these extra demands to power grid adjustment and other energy sources.
In other words, under the background of the continuous growth of renewable energy in the future, it is possible not only to realize the balance of supply and demand of renewable energy, but also to realize the main power supply of renewable energy.
In addition, even after all the above-mentioned countermeasures are carried out, there is still a residual of renewable energy.
The government will reduce the price of electricity by means of legislation and power restriction.
In order to further introduce and expand renewable energy in the future, the power companies related to the energy industry and in the direct interest chain have played a very important role.
Therefore, these practitioners need to strictly abide by the rules of the energy industry and actively promote renewable energy under the guidance of policies.
Current situation of renewable energy
According to the data provided by the "latest news of Japan's power supply and demand" released by the Institute of environmental and energy policy in February 2020, it can be seen that:
Japan's total renewable energy consumption, including its own consumption, increased by 16.4% - 17.4% in 2018 compared with the previous year.
Throughout Japan's electricity generation in 2018, the solar power generation ratio increased from 5.7% in 17 years to 6.5%.
The total amount of variable natural energy (solar, wind and wind) increased from 6.3% to 7.2%.
At the same time, although biomass (2.2%) also increased, there was almost no change in hydropower (7.8%) and geothermal (0.2%).
The proportion of fossil energy power generation has dropped from 81% in 17 years to 78%, but in fact it is still at a high level.
In addition, the share of nuclear power generation has increased from 2.8% to 4.7%.
In the energy structure formulated by the government in 2030, the proportion of renewable energy is 22% - 24%. In order to achieve this goal, the most important thing at present is not to expand the scale of renewable energy as much as possible.
Instead, we should try our best to reduce the economic burden of renewable energy for everyone.
