Japan Turns Abandoned Golf Courses Into Solar Farms
Original: Short on Land, Japan Is Building Solar Farms on Old Golf Courses
Japan is converting disused golf courses into large-scale solar farms as the country struggles to find open land for renewable energy. With mountainous terrain, limited flat space and growing pressure to cut emissions, developers see retired golf facilities, many closed after declining demand, as ready-made sites with existing grid access for solar panels.
Why now: It highlights an innovative land-use solution to Japan's space shortage and clean-energy push.
