Renewable

Foundation
(JREF),
Masayoshi
Son,
Softbank’s
founder
and
chief
executive,
claimed
the
country
could
shift
60%
of
its
power
production
to
renewables
over
the
next
two
decades
with
the
help
of
a
¥2
trillion
national
onshore
and
offshore
transmission
network.
The
2,000km
of
Japanese
interconnections
could
be
expanded
across
the
entire
Asian
region,
forming
a
vast
network
of
some
36,000km
and
linking
Japan
with
countries
including
India,
China,
and
Russia,
says
Son.
"By
connecting
Asian
countries
in
this
way,
we
could
possibly
create
a
more
peaceful
Asia
overall.”
Son
