Not to be negative and ignoring the physics and economics closing, but does that mean a planet wide blackout every time there is a lunar eclipse?
Shimuzu has a long history of publicizing advanced space projects that never get started.
The loss of a nuclear power station from tsunami and resulting leakage maybe behind this renewed interest in space sourced power. ISS could be used for testing transmission of power by microwave. It just needs a microwave transmitter.

Such a test is pointless. We know, more or less, how microwave power transmission works.
