In response to an NHK interview, Chairman Kazuhiro Ikebe of the Federation of Electric Power Companies made by a major electric power company will work to expand renewable energy and improve nuclear safety in place of coal-fired thermal power, which will be gradually reduced in the future. Showed an idea.
Kazuhiro Ikebe, chairman of the Federation of Electric Power Companies, said that the government is considering reducing old coal-fired power generation, which emits a large amount of carbon dioxide, by about 90% by 2030. However, in order to make cheap electricity, I have no choice but to rely on coal-fired power. Considering the characteristics of the region, I would like you to consult with an electric power company who knows the site and proceed with it." I also showed the idea to ask the country to make flexible rules.
Regarding the power source to replace the old coal-fired power, Chairman Ikebe said that he would increase renewable energy such as offshore wind power, and said, "Renewable energy depends on the weather. Since nuclear power does not emit carbon dioxide when generating electricity. We are working hard to improve safety every day, and we must continue to make efforts to convey it."
