       There's no way this is real, this can't be, Iberdrola can't *possibly* be more technologically advanced than every Japanese electric company, they can't bring anything relevant to Japan… right? https://www.iberdrola-renewables.jp/

       @root alternate timeline where Russia isn't an oil kleptocracy and actually invested in R&D :blobcatthink: (I presume China is becoming competitive at this very moment and might start eating up sales rather soon, but wow still)

       @xerz The top line should be visible. 38% a German firm. 24% Hitachi. Rest of the big players are foreign.Personally I always find it weird that Japan has effectively no geothermal elec gen.
