English translation of Electricity Business Act opens way for UK exporters/investors

in Japan

Trade barrier summary

Japan's electricity market was fully liberalised in April 2016, creating opportunities for overseas businesses. However, there was no English version of the Electricity Business Act available, making it difficult to enter into the market without Japanese partners. This barrier has since been resolved, and there is now a portal site for English versions of Japanese acts.
