5 Strategic Energy Plan and Energy mix plan FY2002 Basic Act on Energy Policy The 1 st Strategic Energy Plan, 2003 The 2 nd Strategic Energy Plan, 2007 The 3 rd Strategic Energy Plan, 2010 FY2014 FY2015 FY2018 The 4 th Strategic Energy Plan Nuclear power: To reduce as much as possible and restart with safety priority. Renewable energy: >20% Long-term Energy Supply and Demand Outlook (Energy mix plan) Nuclear power: 20-22%(Before the earthquake: 30%) Renewable energy: 22-24% The 5 th Strategic Energy Plan Towards 2030 To achieve energy mix target Towards 2050 Challenges towards energy transitions and decarbonisation 3

6 Safety Safety is the top priority. Japan s Strategic Energy Plan Based on the Strategic Energy Plan, Japan tackles the policy targets related to Safety, Energy security, Economic efficiency, and Environment simultaneously.(3e+s) The Plan also refers reducing dependence on nuclear power generation as much as possible by promoting energy efficiency and conservation, introduction of renewable energy, and introduction of efficient thermal power plants. <Policy target for 3E+S> Energy security Self-sufficiency: About 25%, higher than before the earthquake (about 20%) Economic efficiency Electricity cost: To lower from the current level (9.7 trillion yen in FY2013 to 9.5 trillion yen in FY2030) Environment Greenhouse gas emission reduction target: (reduction of 26.0% in FY 2030 compared to FY 2013) 4
