The economic effect of FR deployment with energy economic model, which is a combination of recursive computable general equilibrium model and energy system model is shown in this study. Electricity supply of both Japan and the world, economic effect and riple effect on various industries are calculated through the case with FR deployment in global scale. It is shown that FRs are deployed worldwide in the latter half of this century; the cumulated GDP (Gross Domestic Product) of Japan will increase by several trillion JPY (Japanese Yen), and the amounts of production of various industries including steel and non-ferrous metal are increased from the assessment results.
