Exploring Regional GX Strategies Toward 2040 with PLEXOS® , the Integrated Optimization Platform

Achieving carbon neutrality by 2050 will require region-specific green transformation (GX) strategies that take into account differences in energy resource availability and demand patterns across Japan. Drawing on the JOGMEC report, “Examining Regional GX Strategies Toward 2040,” this webinar will present the results of an analysis of the future power generation mix under a scenario of expanded renewable energy deployment. Taking into account the distinctive characteristics of each region, from Hokkaido to Kyushu, the webinar will explain how the roles of renewable energy, thermal power generation, interregional grid connections, and decarbonized fuels are expected to evolve. It will also highlight key challenges and insights related to balancing security of supply with economic efficiency. We invite all those with an interest in regional GX, energy policy, and business strategy to join us

This session will unpack:

• Understand how regional differences in energy resources, electricity demand, and grid interconnections shape the optimal power mix across Japan.

• Learn why firm and flexible generation capacity remains essential for maintaining security of supply as renewable energy deployment expands.

• Gain insights into how regional GX strategies can balance decarbonization, supply reliability, and economic efficiency.
