Kyushu a Haven for Natural Energy
The Kyushu region is blessed with abundant sources of natural energy, and the number of companies building megasolar power plants is rising. The region already accounts for 17% of the nation’s solar power generation, 16% of its wind power generation, and 40% of its thermal power generation. A new system for purchasing power at fixed costs will begin in July, which is spurring plans for the further construction of megasolar plants, reports the Nishinippon Shimbun.
