It will also take offshore wind power into consideration. The shut down of all nuclear power plants has resulted in severe shortage of electricity.

Japan is a maritime nation surrounded by seas on all four sides. Japan has control over 4.47 million sq. km of territorial water and exclusive economic zones. This is a huge potential that lies untapped. Promoting maritime energy could very well prove an important milestone for Japan?s search for renewable energy.
Energy analysts state that tides, winds and temperature differences could be harnessed to produce renewable energy.
