Japan aims to increase its solar energy capacity to 150 gigawatts (GW) by 2040. . In October 2021, the Japanese government decided on Japan's NDC (Nationally Determined Contribution) and the 6th Strategic Energy Plan, which set a target to increase the ratio of renewable energy in the share of electricity to 36~38% in FY2030. The breakdown of this target is 14~16% solar, 11%. . Japan will implement thorough energy conservation, and intends to achieve maximum deployment of clean energy through making renewable energy as the main source of power, utilizing nuclear power and other measures. This ambitious target represents a significant leap from the current capacity of approximately 87 GW (as of 2023, according to PVKnowhow's Japan Solar Panel Manufacturing Report).
