In 2011, one of the world’s worst nuclear disasters happened in Japan‘s northeastern prefecture of Fukushima. Fukushima’s 9.0 magnitude earthquake and subsequent Tsunami that devastated the area. The miscommunication led to plants not going to safe mode and resulted in a meltdown at the Fukushima nuclear Dai-ichi power station in Japan.
During the past decade, there has been a continuing shift towards green energy in Japan and this is now accelerated a bit more due to the Fukushima disaster. After 8 years, Japan tries to recover the lands that have been destroyed and remained toxic. Fukushima’s prefecture taking actions in line with the national goals and want to supply 40% of its electricity from renewables by 2020, two-thirds by 2030, and 100% by 2040.
According to Nikkei Asian Review, a plan is underway to develop 11 solar power plants and 10 wind power plants in the prefecture, on farmlands that cannot be cultivated anymore and mountainous areas from where population outflows continue. The total capacity of 21 power plants is about 600 MW which is equivalent to two-thirds of a nuclear power plant. The generated electricity will be dispatched to the Tokyo metropolitan area.
