“After the earthquake, we learned the hard way that we are very much dependent on imported energy. Therefore we have to diversify the energy sources, diversify the suppliers, and yet achieve these 3Es plus safety of nuclear."
Yukari Yamashita

“The biggest new reality is the need to decarbonise the energy system. Japan is no exception but we have to do it after the Fukushima nuclear disaster."
Prof Tatsuo Masuda

“In Japan, we are currently focusing on energy reform, including the gas utility market and the power utility market.

This will be a game change that will bring many benefits.”
Tsuneo Miyamoto
