[Webinar] Japan's Energy Industry Shakeup

 

Join JETRO San Francisco for a discussion on deregulation in Japan’s energy industry and what it means for U.S. CleanTech companies seeking a foothold in Japan’s energy market.

 

This discussion will highlight deregulation efforts in the electric and gas industries, which saw several major policy changes in April 2016. The presentation will also cover the renewable energy and energy management industries, which have seen tremendous growth in the last several years as Japan shifts away from its nuclear power dependency.

As a result of dismantling industry monopolies such as Tepco, Japan's electric industry has developed a market gap worth an estimated 8 trillion ($67 billion) in revenue. This market space is focused on the sale of electricity for the residential Japanese home. The Japanese government hopes this sudden opening in supply (with no slowdown in demand) will spark an influx of new CleanTech and energy companies seeking to gain a foothold in one of the world's largest energy markets.
