Japan Market: Structural Shifts & Renewable Targets:

Japan is undergoing structural adjustments in its REC ecosystem. In mid-2024, a number of traders withdrew due to rising fixed fees, despite reduced transaction fees.

The country aims to source 50% of its electricity from renewables by 2040. However, Japan still city-tested under 30% renewables by 2030, prompting rollout of infrastructure like BESS and floating offshore wind zones to bolster generation and REC supply.
