11th Mongolia-Japan International Conference on Electric Power Transmission and Distribution Technologies and International Standardization is being held at the Energy School of the National University of Science and Technology. We deliver you the interview with Chairman of the Board of Ashikaga Institue of Technology, Ph.D., Izumi Ushiyama. 

-What energy technologies are able to be implemented in Mongolia according to the Japanese experience?
-According to the example of Japan, Mongolia has high potential to build solar power plant in renewable energy sector. 

-What is the theme of your presentation at the conference? 
-I will deliver presentation on global trend of using natural renewable energy, its experience and current condition. My topic will cover Mongolia too. 

-How is the possibility and terms to use solar energy in Mongolia? What is the first step Mongolia should take?
-Technology to build solar power plant has developed already. The key thing to consider is to find solution on connection to the central network. For instance, wind power plant need to be built in windy place. 

-What renewable energy policy is Japan maintaining? 
-Government of Japan has started implementing promotional pricing system in renewable energy sector since 2012. Government purchase renewable energy with high cost. 

As a result, renewable energy production reached 80 million kwh over the last three years. 

-How do you evaluate the global energy consumption?
-The most serous problem facing to the world's energy consumption is CO2 emissions. There are two solutions. First, nuclear power station and the second solution is to build renewable energy sources. 

However, Japanese experience show that nuclear power station is not the right solution. Thus, we should use renewable energy.
