According to RIA Novosti, he noted that the country's authorities intend to do everything possible to guarantee the volume of energy supplies this summer.
“During this summer, when the risk of heat stroke increases, we will not save electricity and use air conditioning wisely to overcome this threat.
Against the backdrop of the need to ensure the necessary supplies, the government intends to take steps in the future to resume the operation of two thermal power plants,” he said.
Kishida also stressed that the Japanese authorities intend to "adhere to the plan to restart" the nuclear power plant.
“The basic position of the government is to maximize the use of nuclear energy.
Together with the country's nuclear regulator, we intend to make efforts to expedite the necessary checks for this, ”he added.
Earlier, Japan approved the restart of another nuclear reactor.
