8-6-2 A Study on the facilitation of local deployment of renewable energy usage (vol.2)

An analysis on the current situations of local governments

Abstract

Among many initiatives on regional revitalization, there are movements on utilizing energy projects initiated by local communities. Based on these community-based renewable energy projects, we examine ways to accelerate local economic revitalization and increase in employment.

This report determines results of questionnaires on local government awareness (696 valid responses) conducted in fiscal year 2015, followed by the ones in fiscal year 2014. This report aims to clarify current issues of local governments when promoting renewable energy use.
