Renewable Energy Institute Collaborates with the Danish Energy Agency on Hokkaido Integration Study Phase II | Activities

in Japanese

Hokkaido is positioning itself as a renewable energy hub, driven by ambitious wind power expansion, rising demand, and alignment with Japan’s decarbonization goals.
Market reforms in Japan aim to support flexibility, promoting DERs, storage, microgrids, and demand response through financial incentives and tariff design.
An integrated energy system approach is essential, linking power with heating, transport, and industry, which reduces costs and supports more holistic thinking.
Strong interconnection with Honshu is also critical, enabling renewable exports and ensuring system stability.
Collaboration with Denmark can accelerate progress, leveraging its expertise in holistic, cost-efficient energy system planning.
