FIT system The purchase price has been decreasing year by year since the system was first introduced. Due to a variety of reasons, including technological innovations in renewable energy, the spread of renewable energy, and intensifying competition in the electricity market, purchase prices continue to decline. Looking to the future, in the field of renewable energy, the FIP system, which replaces the FIT (feed-in tariff system), is a system in which electricity is sold according to the market price and a certain premium is earned in return. Therefore, compared to the traditional FIT system, it is necessary to respond more sensitively to market trends. Another method that is attracting attention is a corporate PPA (Power Purchase Agreement), in which a company and a renewable energy provider enter into a long-term power purchase agreement. This is expected to increase the number of companies that directly procure renewable energy, leading to a stable supply of energy and achieving carbon neutrality. However, these efforts require technical understanding and market knowledge, making it difficult for small and medium-sized renewable energy businesses to handle them alone. In particular, it will be important to have the support of experts and consultants, as expertise in electricity market trends and risk management is required. So this time, Purchase reservation service for post-FIT industrial solar power plants (

Approximately 40% of respondents said they would continue investing in industrial solar power generation even after the FIT scheme ends! First of all, “When did you start becoming aware of “FIT (after the fixed purchase price system ends)”? ” I asked. “6 to 8 years after purchase (42.5%)” is the most common, followed by “3 to 5 years after purchase (25.5%)” The result was that there were many. On the other hand “Before purchase (14.8%)” or recently purchased “1 to 3 years after purchase (11.0%)” Approximately one in four people seem to have been aware of this from an early stage.

In addition, maintenance of solar power plant equipment will be necessary to maintain power generation efficiency, so it is important to assess the future balance of income and expenditure. Additionally, 40% of respondents said they were considering selling their solar power plant, but this may be due to the fact that many people are unable to sell their solar power plant because it would be extremely difficult to find a buyer. . When is the best time to sell? I asked the owner Started in 2012 FIT system (Fixed price purchase system) guarantees a 20-year fixed price purchase for power over 10kW. From around 2022, 10 years after the system was launched, many companies and investors (owners) are considering selling their solar power plants. Graduation FIT (FIT system ended) Then, while the FIT system was applied, it was possible to sell electricity at a higher price, but after the FIT ends, the electricity sales price switches to the general electricity sales price, and the purchase price drops significantly. In addition, after completing the FIT, it is necessary to choose the most suitable method from among various options, such as entering into a new electricity sales contract with the electric power company or considering the use of self-consumption. For these reasons, our previous survey revealed that some people are considering selling their solar power plants in preparation for their FIT. Therefore, “Do you think the solar power generation business will continue after the FIT system (feed-in tariff system) ends? ” I tried to come. “Strongly agree (24.8%)” “Agree (45.0%)” It was found that more than 80% of the respondents believe that the solar power generation business will continue in the future.

The most common was “Within 10 years from purchase (50.3%)” It was about half. “Within 5 years from purchase (11.0%)” “Within 3 years from purchase (9.2%)” It turns out that 70% of the people think they should sell before graduating from FIT.
