Hydroelectricity is Japan''s main renewable energy source, with an installed capacity of about 27 GW, or 16% of the total generation capacity, of which about half is pumped-storage. The production was 73 TWh in 2010. [37] As of September 2011, Japan had 1,198 small hydropower plants with a total capacity of 3,225 MW.
For instance, in lithium-ion batteries, which are used for electrified vehicles, rare metals such as lithium, cobalt and nickel are used. Japan depends almost 100% on imports for such mineral resources. There will be increasing demand for power generation facilities using renewables and electrified vehicles.
