Abstract: This study discussed the electric energy potential of renewable energy in Awaji Island, Japan. In addition, the electric energy self-sufficiency ratio of renewable energy in 2050 was estimated in order to investigate the possibility of achieving 100% electric energy potential through renewable energy. We targeted renewable energy sources such as biomass, wind power, and PV. Firstly, the available energy from biomass was calculated. Next, the electric energy potentials from wind power and PV were also estimated, taking into account the current situation of island operations and future plans for instalment. The 2010 electric energy demand in Awaji Island was then calculated using statistical data. We also designed eight scenarios combining future forecasts of population and GDP and energy shifts.
