Administration will lead a delegation of
U.S. companies to participate in a
Renewable Energy Policy Business
Roundtable, which will be held on
December 3, 2012 in Tokyo in
conjunction with the U.S.-Japan Energy
Policy Dialogue. The U.S. Department of
Energy—the lead U.S. agency for the
bilateral discussions—will co-chair the
roundtable.
Following the roundtable, the
delegation will travel to the northeast
region for site visits. Participating
companies will learn firsthand the
current condition of reconstruction
following the March 2011 earthquake
and tsunami, and the role of renewable
energy in those efforts, including local
government incentives. Upon returning
to Tokyo, optional business counseling
will be provided by the U.S. Department
of Commerce’s Commercial Service.
Information on how to register
(including applicable fees) for the
roundtable, site visits, and business
counseling will be posted online at:
https://www.export.gov/reee.

register online no later than October 31,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: A
Japanese Cabinet advisory panel
recently recommended that Japan phase
out nuclear power by the 2030s,
increase its reliance on renewable
energy, and take steps to improve
energy efficiency. In 2011,
approximately 10 percent of Japan’s
electricity was derived from renewable
energy. This percentage is expected to
increase as various incentives, such as
a new feed-in tariff system (for solar,
wind, geothermal, small micro/small/
medium hydro, and biomass/biogas), are
introduced to promote investor
confidence in renewable energy
projects. A long-term reform process in
the electricity sector is also taking shape
that may allow for more diversity in
energy sources as well as hasten the
deployment of smart grid technology.
All of these factors point towards
potential business opportunities for
American companies. U.S. clean energy
companies that want to sell products
and services in Japan can benefit from

a deeper understanding of the changing
Japanese policy and regulatory
landscape, from the viewpoint of both
Japan’s policymakers and
representatives from the private sector,
who will also join the roundtable. A
frank and open discussion about
renewable energy will enhance the
bilateral Energy Policy Dialogue by
identifying key policy issues and
sharing best practices.
