Projected cost of electricity generation in Japan (new installations) (based on Berkeley Lab)

Japan’s government target is to cut coal power to 19% of the electricity mix by FY2030, well behind rising global expectations for advanced economies to phase out coal in the 2030s. With current policies focused only on “fading out” inefficient plants even this limited target will be difficult to meet.
