FREE AS A BIRD - It is happening. Wind energy is providing bucket loads of power that will be more useful with the kind of load leveling that battery and green hydrogen storage can provide, to make better use of all that captured natural muscle. Windmills and sails had been working for mankind for hundreds of years before the discovery of electricity. These graceful machines can be located in isolated areas where winds are strong and reliable. Making allowance for storms , doldrums, and power blackouts, by design.

ABOUT TOKYO ELECTRIC POWER COMPANY

Japan’s biggest power company Tokyo Electric Power Company (TEPCO) registered $55.36bn of revenue in the year ending December 2018. The company’s electricity sales volume during the period stood at 239.9TWh.

Headquartered in Chiyoda, Tokyo, TEPCO focuses on power generation and distribution through 34 subsidiaries and 32 affiliates.

TEPCO has three core operating segments, which include Fuel and Power (fuel and thermal power generation), Power Grid (general power transmission and distribution), and Energy Partner (electricity retail).

According to their website, TEPCO is aimed at these goals;

Develop renewable energy, concentrating on overseas hydro power generation, domestic and overseas offshore wind power generation which they consider to be the most promising.

For offshore wind power expand the business based on cooperation with group companies such as Eurus Energy and establish a value chain domestically. Improve competitiveness in cost, technology, and human resources and start operations overseas.

Aim to reach a profit level of around 100 billion Yen for a overall development scale of 6 to 7 GW domestic and abroad.

OPEN INNOVATION PLATFORM

The TEPCO Group utilizes revolutionary technologies, services, and ideas in order to create new value and find solutions for the issues faced by the company and the society in general.

In particular, they are promoting the use of the "open innovation" methods, which allow them to bring in new technologies and ideas from various companies, startups, researchers, research institutes, and other sources around the world in order to create new value and find solutions for the issues they cannot solve on their own in a timely fashion

They have several open innovation tools available. In order to approach companies, research institutes, and other organizations overseas, they search for information and technologies by requesting proposals through an online platform and by hiring technology research companies. When necessary, they post requests for the information or technologies their Company and its Group need on their online platform called "TEPCO CUUSOO." The platform allows anyone to simply register and view the required information or technologies. They are looking forward to any suggestions, ideas, and technology information that could help them tackle various issues.

But in 2022, they still have no solution to power cuts and blackouts, causing major disruption in the modern age of electricity - putting the lives of young, vulnerable and infirm at risk. Also raising the question of this company failing to meet Paris climate objectives aimed at Net Zero - where reliability is a key factor in reaching United Nations' Sustainability Development Goals. Especially SDG7 clean, affordable energy for all, and SDG17, partnerships, such as with automotive OEMs, where the supply of energy for transport is their responsibility, as much as motor manufacturers have a duty to provide zero emission vehicles (ZEVs) - meaning electrics, as a solution that has finally come of age. But where is the infrastructure to make this happen?

Power companies and automotive OEMs need to work together urgently, if they are going to stand any chance of catering for EVs by 2050. They have no chance at all at present levels of cooperation and forward planning - of meeting the targets set for 2030 by policy makers. They are far too comfortable, knowing they can give politicians the run around with manifold excuses from spin doctors - who are employed by climate deniers - to keep burning carcinogenic coal, diesel and petrol.

In the process, they are making their countries vulnerable to suppliers of energy who have grown wealthy enough from fossil fuel exports, to wage war in 2022.

HIGH VOLTAGE - Every country uses high voltage cables to transmit electricity via a grid. mostly over ground using steel pylons. In the UK, OFGEM regulates development of such markets.

FROM SPACE EXPLORATION TO ZERO EMISSIONS - Developed to power satellites and spacecraft, the silicon solar panel is now a cost effective way of generating clean electricity. Ideal sites for the location of solar farms is land that cannot be used for farming, such as the deserts we have created.
