Tokyo, and all of Japan, is known for its technological advancements. The city of Tokyo is particularly illuminated 24/7, and technology is omnipresent in everyday life here. For the sake of the city's prosperity in the global market, energy has become one of the most important resources for the community.
Electricity is one of the most important resources today. The government and private companies invest a lot of money in the production of energy through new and efficient technological advances
Japan's technological advancements require large amounts of energy. Tokyo is one of the cities that consumes the most energy in the world. The city of Tokyo (and other major cities around Japan) are filled with lights and advertisements and other sources of illumination in the streets, which demonstrates the presence of technology in the city. There are restaurants where robots take your order, huge malls within miles from each other, gaming centers, train stations, convenience stores and other places with heating and cooling systems. High energy consumption is commonly found throughout the major cities.
Interestingly enough, most power plants are in the countryside, but the countryside energy consumption is not as high as that of the city.
