What is non-FIT?
Non-FIT refers to renewable energy facilities that are not FIT certified.
Renewable energy sources include solar power, wind power, geothermal power, and hydroelectric power.
This refers to non-fossil energy sources designated by government ordinance.
In addition, FIT-certified facilities are power generation facilities that are certified under the FIT system (feed-in tariff system) and generate and sell electricity.
Non-FIT solar power plants that have not received FIT certification can generate and sell electricity without being affected by the FIT system. Furthermore, the electricity generated by non-FIT solar power plants can be used for:
In addition to its value as electricity, it also has environmental value.
Our strength is our ability to provide standard power supply.
Why are non-FIT solar power plants needed?
Since 2021 , the nature of solar power plants has changed dramatically.
Until now, solar power plants have expanded their market through the FIT system and made a significant contribution to increasing Japan's renewable energy ratio. However, various issues have become apparent, such as the heavy burden on the public due to the "renewable energy surcharge" that guarantees high electricity sales prices, and the impending end of the purchase period.
Even under these circumstances, demand for solar power generation continues to grow.
What is attracting attention is "non-FIT solar power plants" that do not rely on the FIT system.
Now, following the new policy announced by the government, there is a very high demand for "decarbonization" in Japan.
As Japan has begun to make major moves towards realizing a decarbonized society, non-FIT solar power plants are an essential driving force for promoting the use of renewable energy.
Furthermore, it is not just the country that needs non-FIT solar power plants.
Society as a whole needs non-FIT solar power plants, including those for hedging market price risks, retail electricity suppliers (PPS), and consumers who want to reduce their electricity bills by engaging in self-consumption.
