News …
Japan to cut emphasis on
nuclear!
Japan will cut reliance on nuclear power when it releases
an updated energy plan as early as next year.
The move is expected to boost the country's use of
renewable energy, but will also likely cement its drive
towards cheaper coal-fired generation following the 2011
Fukushima nuclear crisis and the shutdown of reactors.
A target of 10-15 percent for nuclear by 2030 has been
mooted, one of the sources said, down from 20-22 percent
under current policy. Cutting nuclear will likely mean higher
targets for renewable energy.

Tokyo Firm Taps Biomass for
Market-Leading Gains!
First Energy jumped 8.8 percent on Thursday after the
company’s chief executive officer said he’s eying more
investment in power plants fueled by organic material.
Investors have flocked to First Energy as the company
reiterated its commitment to woody biomass, increased its
dividends and as an equity analyst highlighted the
company’s strong growth potential.
First Energy currently operates two woody biomass facilities,
with plans to start a third unit in September and begin
construction of a fourth unit by 2019, it said in its mid-term
plan. The company will invest in additional facilities as long
as the government’s incentive program for clean energy
continues to provide support.
“Solar does not create jobs or business opportunities in local
communities while biomass creates businesses and has a
potential for job creation”.
