The Tokyo metropolitan government plans to install solar panels at more than 2,000 facilities it owns, including apartment buildings, police boxes and fire stations, in an effort to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
According to sources, the installations will take place over a nine-year period from fiscal 2022 to fiscal 2030, with the budget for the first year alone expected to be about 10 billion yen. By taking the lead in such installations, the metropolitan government seeks to encourage households and businesses to set up panels as well.
