Description

<p>Renewable energy (RE) has been regarded as a key to work on climate change mitigation and energy security issue. Thus, many country have support scheme for RE including Japan. RE is much more smaller and de-centralized than conventional energy resources and expected to stimulate regional economy in prefecture or municipality level. In this paper, we estimated the value added brought by the deployment of RE in Nagano prefecture in Japan. The estimation model is based on the tool developed by IFaS, but customized to handle Japanese taxation system.From the estimation results, it is revealed that RE business has large potential to stimulate the regional economy, while the potential can be very small if the business is done by an enterprise not based in the region. To make RE stimulate the regional economy, policy and institutional support for local player to have the ownership of RE business done in the region.</p>
