In an example of the present invention is an extreme ultraviolet light generation apparatus including: a droplet supply device configured to successively supply droplets; a charging electrode being configured to control charging of droplets supplied from the droplet supply unit; and a target controller configured to control electric polarities of the droplets supplied from the droplet supply unit by controlling potential of the charging electrode in such a way that successive droplets join together to become a target droplet, wherein the droplets controlled in charging by the charging electrode include a plurality of groups each composed of successive droplets, and, in each of the groups, a droplet at one end is charged positively or negatively, a droplet at the other end is uncharged or charged in a polarity being the same as a polarity of an adjacent droplet in a group adjacent to the droplet at the other end.
