Japan sees need for sharp hike in power output by 2050 to meet demand from AI, chip plants
Japan envisages the need for electricity output to rise 35% to 50% by 2050 due to growing demand from semiconductor plants and data centres backing artificial intelligence (AI), the government has forecast. Power output should grow from 1 trillion kilowatt-hours (kWh) projected for the current decade to about 1.35-1.5 trillion kWh in 2050 to meet demand as Japan sets up more data centres, chip factories and other energy-consuming businesses, the government said in a document published late on Monday. Unless Japan increases renewable energy output, stable supply of power could be uncertain, the government said, as it began mapping out a new strategy on decarbonisation and industrial policy by 2040 which it plans to finalise by the end of March.

Blinken visits Ukraine to tout US support for Kyiv's fight against Russia's advances
U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken arrived in Kyiv on Tuesday in an unannounced diplomatic mission to reassure Ukraine that it has American support as it struggles to defend against increasingly intense Russian attacks. The visit comes less than a month after Congress approved a long-delayed foreign assistance package that sets aside $60 billion in aid for Ukraine, much of which will go toward replenishing badly depleted artillery and air defense systems. On his fourth trip to Kyiv since Russia invaded Ukraine in February 2022, Blinken will underscore the Biden administration’s commitment to Ukraine’s defense and long-term security, U.S. officials said.
