In 2022, the generation capacity of onshore wind energy in Japan surpassed 4.5 thousand megawatt, up from around 2.6 thousand megawatt in 2013. Wind power currently produces only a small amount of electricity supply in Japan.
To reduce greenhouse gas emissions and be less dependent on fossil fuel imports, the Japanese government currently aims to increase the use of renewable energy sources.
