GJETC Outreach Event September 24, 2019, Tokyo

Background
The GJETC concentrates on strategic and systemic analysis and develops independent policy
advice focused on problem solutions respecting the different framework conditions andenergy policies in both countries. On the basis of good and successful examples from bothcountries, new and long-term perspectives on the way to an ambitious energy transition
shall open up.
Japan is in the process of restructuring its electricity market, e.g. introducing competition insupply, unbundling, and competitive balancing markets. Germany, as a member state of theEuropean Union, has already restructured its power market in the years since 1998. Bothcountries, however, will have to develop their electricity markets further to master theenergy transition. This concerns particularly the integration of large shares of generation
based on mostly variable renewable energy.

ObjectiveThe outreach event is intended to provide both strategic and in-depth insights on selected
topics related to electricity markets and growing shares of renewable energy production inboth countries. The invited experts represent a mix of government, science/academia andthe private sector. The input presentations and discussion are intended to lead to a better
understanding of the possibilities of bilateral collaboration on the Energy transition.
