Better late than never.
I hope the new rules are accepted and have a good effect.

Too little, too late.

Good news.
Even though Japan has a lot of mountains which makes more difficult to predict local and accurate weather for the power demand forecast than other counties.
But we have to consider and help environment all the same.

How about more promotion of EVs. Japan is an ideal country for them: excellent power grid, small vehicles and on average less miles travelled. Unfortunately, the oil industry has the Japanese government officials in their pockets and the change to EVs is moving at a glacial to non-existent pace...

Japan should work in collaboration with Elon Musk and Panasonic. Improved solar panels and multi functional long life solar/wind/tidal rechargeable batteries are the way forward.

And while all this is going on, Japan still operates on two different power grids, 50 Hz in the east and 60 Hz in the west. The 3/11 disaster highlighted Japan's ancient infrastructure when power from western Japan couldn't be transferred to the east. I haven't read or heard of any measures to try and unify this situation other than to build frequency converter stations, which even now produces only a fraction of the necessary capacity. So the government hasn't learned anything from 3/11. We need safe renewable energy and we need a unified power grid. Tele-work and internet and all those other creature comforts don't mean a thing without electricity Mr. LDP Abe-chan.
