Achievements and Future Outlook: Innovations in Electric and Thermal Energy Technology

摘要

As part of the reconstruction of areas affected by the Great East Japan Earthquake, the construction of new communities is planned, and in April 2012, eight districts including Aizuwakamatsu-shi were specified by the Japanese Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry as Smart Community Master Plan Special Districts, and the formulation of specific plans is underway. Additionally, the Feed-in Tariff Scheme for renewable energy began in July 2012, and renewable types of energy such as photovoltaic power generation and wind power generation are rapidly becoming prevalent.
