Аннотация: In the modern world economy, the market for the export of renewable energy sources (RES) is becoming increasingly important. The advantages of RES include their inexhaustibility, a positive impact on the preservation of the ecological and thermal balance of the planet and the availability of use. In Japan, the development of renewable energy sources is one of the priority areas, which is reflected in all major government documents. This type of energy is extremely important from the point of view of the energy independence of Japan, which is almost completely devoid of its own fossil fuels. In addition, after the accident at the Fukushima-1 nuclear power plant, Japan decided to prioritize the use of renewable energy sources as the only way to survive in the face of curtailing nuclear energy development programs. This article is devoted to the development of production and export of renewable energy in the country.
