Since the earthquake in 2011, nuclear power is gradually abandoned. The ratio of nuclear power was 30% in 2010, but no nuclear power station is used as a power station currently. So far, thermal power compensates for the decline in nuclear power generation. Sustainable energies are almost nothing.
Here is the breakdown of monthly power generation in March 2014.
Electoric power generation | (Unit:1,000kWh) |
Thermal | 64,051,795 |
Hydraulic | 5,928,296 |
Geothermal heat | 222,003 |
Wind power | 18,682 |
Solar power | 7,808 |
Nuclear power | 0 |
Total | 70,228,584 |
The below shows the breakdown of monthly power generation when nuclear power was still running (2010 March).
Electoric power generation | (Unit:1,000kWh) |
Thermal | 49,258,287 |
Hydraulic | 8,551,666 |
Geothermal heat | 238,641 |
Wind power | 2,288 |
Solar power | 26 |
Nuclear power | 23,990,472 |
Total | 82,041,380 |
