Abstract
Electricity is an extremely expensive energy in Japan which imports 83% of primary energy from outside. The pressure of costly energy forced the development of conservation technologies, improved energy productivity and decreased oil demand drastically. Furthermore, society opened its doors to an “information based society” from a “material and energy intensive society”, and the-industrial structure began to change itself, though there were factors to increase electricity consumption.
