Japan is initiating a $1.3 billion subsidy program to assist commercial and industrial sectors, including data center developers, in achieving a transition to 100% low-carbon electricity. The initiative, which will begin in 2026 and last for five years, aims to cover up to 50% of capital expenditures for investments in local power generation, as Japan targets a renewable energy share of 50% and nuclear energy at 20% by fiscal year 2040.
