1 Overview Renewable energy drawing attention as energy issues become apparent after 211 Tohoku earthquake and tsunami As a measure against global warming, various actions have been taken to promote renewable energy on a global scale. Since the Tohoku earthquake and tsunami occurred on March 11, 211, energy issues have become more and more prominent in Japan because of earthquake-stricken thermal power plants and unprecedentedly large-scale and long-term damage to the nuclear power plant of Tokyo Electric Power in Fukushima. In order to solve those issues, renewable energy is drawing further attention in Japan. Increasing the share of renewable energy in power generation According to the forecast on power generation released by the Japanese government in June 212, the share of renewable energy is expected to increase greatly from 11% in FY 21 to 25% 35% in FY 23. The government recognizes the rising importance of renewable energy and states that it will accelerate the development and use of renewable energy in order to acquire energy security. Specific measures include the widening of system operations, maintenance and improvement of power grids, reformation of regulations on location, acceleration of technical development, acquirement of backup power, and improvement of systems that enable us to live in harmony with the community.

The market size of solar power generation devices is expected to grow up to 1,287,6 million yen, which is 8 times larger than the 28 figure. The market size of wind power generation plants is expected to grow up to 249, million yen, which is 4 times larger than the 28 figure, and the growth expectation of lithium-ion batteries is up to 6,6 million yen, which is 14 times larger than the 28 figure. With regards to charging stations and geothermal power generation plants, their market sizes were small in 28 but they are predicted to grow up to 148, million yen and 78,4 million yen, respectively, by 22. New energy business is expected to grow up to 2,431,1 million yen, which is 32 times larger than in 28.

2 Governmental Efforts Japan is advancing a number of initiatives to bolster the renewable energy and secondary battery markets through the following efforts: feed-in tariffs (FITs) for renewable energy and introduction of the fund to introduce and promote renewable energy (green new deal fund). Chart 3 Solar power (residential) FY 212 Status of Introducing Renewable Energy Generation Facilities (as of the end of February) Cumulative Introduction Volume at the End of FY 211 Approx. 4,4 Facility Capacity Started Operating between Apr 212 and Feb 213 1,137 (Unit: 1, kw) <Reference> Facility Capacity Certified by Feb 213 1,246 Expanding facility investment by feed-in tariffs (FITs) for renewable energy In order to promote the use of renewable energy, feed-in tariffs (FITs) took effect in July 212. Electric power suppliers are now required to procure electricity generated by renewable energy (solar power, wind Solar power (nonresidential) Wind power Medium and small hydropower generation (1, kw or more) Medium and small hydropower generation (1, kw or less) Biomass Geothermal power Total Approx. 9 Approx. 2,6 Approx. 9,4 Approx. 2 Approx. 2,3 Approx. 5 Approx. 2, ,662 11, ,59 power, hydraulic power, geothermal power, and chart 3 Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry biomass) at a fixed cost for a certain period of time determined by the government. The system has made it easier for the installer of the renewable energy generation facilities to forecast the cost recovery. The government announced that the capacity of the facilities that have been certified by the end of February 213 reached approximately 13,59, kw. Expanding public investment through a fund to introduce and promote renewable energy The projects to introduce and promote renewable energy through a fund to introduce and promote renewable energy (Green New Deal Fund) promote the introduction of renewable energy to disaster prevention centers of local authorities with a view to introduce independent and distributed energy by using renewable energy and promote the development of a region that is environmentally friendly and robust in the event of disasters. The implementation period is the 5 years from 212 to 217. It is predicted that the fund will promote the introduction of renewable energy and electricity storage systems to private and public facilities such as government agencies, hospitals, police stations, and fire stations. November 213
3 Attractive Markets In this report, the markets to the right are featured as attractive sectors for renewable energy and secondary batteries: Solar power generation system Wind power generation system Lithium-ion battery for stationary electrical energy storage Other new energies (methane hydrate) (1) Solar power systems Expanding the market share of products by overseas manufacturers The market size for solar power systems in Japan in FY 212 was 1,624,763 million yen. The amount for residential systems was 869,71 million yen (53.5%) and the amount for nonresidential systems was 755,692 million yen (46.5%). The government s subsidy system for the introduction and the feed-in tariff program for surplus power will continue and the system price is likely to drop. Therefore, the market is predicted to continue to grow after FY 213. As for residential systems, the percentage of adopting solar power systems to new houses by large home builders was over 5% in FY 21, and the percentage is also rising among medium-sized and small home builders. The number of cases where the systems are introduced to existing houses is also increasing as various subsidy programs are available and the introduction cost is dropping. According to the estimation by Yano Research Institute, the four major companies of Sharp Corporation, KYOCERA Corporation, Panasonic Corporation, and Mitsubishi Electric Corporation accounted for 7% or more of the market in FY 21. However, the technology for solar cells made by overseas companies is approaching the level of Japanese manufacturers in terms of conversion efficiency and other qualities. It is expected that the market share of overseas manufacturers will increase as the competitiveness grows with regard to the production scale and the price. As for systems for public and industrial use, the market suddenly expanded after FY 29 because the government introduced solar power systems to educational facilities. Since FY 211, however, the market size has been shrinking because the installation at educational facilities settled and major subsidy Chart 4 Home Solar Power Systems - Market Size Transition 2,5, 1,, 869,71 9, 2,, 8, 7, 1,5, 617,421 6, 481,12 5, 1,, 4, 328,943 3, 5, 166,28 178,395 16, , ,381 2, 1, Chart 5 Non-Residential Solar Power Systems - Market Size Transition 2,5, 1,, 9, 2,, 755,692 8, 7, 1,5, 6, 5, 1,, 4, 3, 5, 2, 128, 112,416 1, 18,39 27,812 27,72 27,475 32,542 52, chart 4 5 Capacity is based on the shipment of photovoltaic cells by Japan Photovoltaic Energy Association. Monetary amount is based on the estimation by Yano Research Institute. programs for public and industrial use were discontinued, although more solar power systems have been introduced for large-scale power businesses led by power companies. Nevertheless, after FY 212, due to the introduction of the feed-in tariffs for renewable energy, the number of mega solar projects for power businesses has sharply increased, and the market is expanding significantly. November 213
4 (2) Wind power systems Products by overseas manufacturers account for 7% of the wind power market in Japan The wind power introduction volume (cumulative) in Japan in FY 212 was 2,649, kw, and the single-year capacity was 92, kw. The market size was 73,8 million yen in FY 21. The volume of new introductions to the wind power business decreased after 21 because of the cancellation of subsidies for the construction of new businesses in anticipation of the feed-in tariff program, in addition to the confusion caused when power companies limited the capacity required and the Building Standards Act was revised, but the market has been improving since the feed-in tariff program started in July 212. Because wind power generation became applicable to the environmental assessment in FY 212, the introduction volume is not increasing at the moment, but the introduction volume is expected to increase sharply from now on.

Aomori has remained number 8, 72,9 73,8 one in terms of the volume of introduction since 28. With regards to the newly introduced facilities with 1, kw or more, Aomori Prefecture had 22, kw, 6, 44,8 52, 61,9 Kagoshima Prefecture had 2, kw, Ibaraki Prefecture had 16, kw, and Akita and Hyogo 4, 28,8 25,9 34,9 32, prefectures had 12, kw, in FY 212. The major Japanese companies in this sector are Japan Steel Works Ltd., Hitachi Ltd., and Mitsubishi 2, 7, Heavy Industries Ltd. Foreign-affiliated companies based in a subsidiary or a branch in Japan that are chart 7 Wind Power Generation Systems Market 211, by Yano Research Institute (the above market size includes the equipment and installation cost) developing businesses in Japan are Vestas Wind Technology Japan Co., Ltd., GE Japan Corporation, and Enercon Industries Corporation. Compared with the world market, the Japanese market for wind power systems is delayed in some areas. According to the results so far, more than 7% of the products are manufactured by overseas manufacturers, which shows that the barrier to entry is low for foreign-affiliated companies. November 213
5 (3) The market for lithium-ion battery for stationary electrical energy storage Demand for electricity storage devices rose sharply after the 211 Tohoku earthquake and tsunami Lithium-ion batteries for stationary electrical energy storage have been used and promoted in demonstration experiments and professional backups in order to standardize the electric power and stabilize the power system. However, due to power issues after the Tohoku earthquake and tsunami, various companies started to sell electricity storage devices in succession for home and professional use. The market size for lithium-ion battery for stationary electrical energy storage in FY 211 was 1,84 million yen, an increase of 367.1% from the previous year, and the peak shift/peak cut backup power storage market accounts for 8%. House builders have been enhancing the sales of smart houses since FY 212, and the market size is expected to grow sharply to 188,373 million yen in FY 215, which is about 2 times larger than the market size in FY 211. The power storage market of peak shift/peak cut backup for home use is predicted to grow to 93,995 million yen and account for 49.9% (estimated by Yano Research Institute) in FY 215. Furthermore, with the Green Growth Strategy, the government is planning to put 5, rapid chargers in place for electric cars by 22, which suggests that the number of charging systems with lithium-ion batteries that can also function as an infrastructure for emergency will increase in public facilities. A number of starting manufacturers not only produce cells of lithium-ion battery by themselves but also cover the aspect of the power storage system. Some companies source the cells of a lithium-ion battery from an external company and produce their products by combining them with BMS (Battery Management System) and PCS (Power Conditioning System), while others develop their products through a joint development with another company, which allows foreign-affiliated companies to enter the market. Because the issue is to reduce the price of the products, competitively priced components are more and more required. For the purpose of stabilizing the system, high-quality materials will be required, as battery capacity is large and safety is important.
