Japan plans to cut 22% subsidy for small commercial solar system

Solar photovoltaic (pv) net news: as to the transition of public bidding mechanism, Japan this year will enlarge the scope of the project of affected by bidding system, changed from a minimum of 2 mw to 500 mw and above. For more than 2 mw project FiT ( A feed-in tariff) Cuts will take effect in the second half of the year, at the same time, the Japanese ministry of economy proposals to reduce 10 - now The rate of 500 kw commercial solar pv systems.

in particular, the Japanese economy, trade and industry Japan proposed to cut the FiT up to another point, the FiT for the small business pay photovoltaic power station from 18 yen per kilowatt hour ( 0. $165) Reduce to 14 yen.

earlier, Japan's trade ministry will also big solar FiT period from the planned cuts on March 31, delay to September 30. Grid connection of the related project deadline also postpone for six months.

Japan generous FiT level were introduced to stimulate the development of solar energy, and fills the country in 2011 after the fukushima disaster after shut down its nuclear power. Although the latest cut proposal is suitable for the capacity of 10 - FiT 500 kW of commercial system, but of the 2017-2017 During the 2019 tariffs on residential pv system ( Top 10 kW) Will remain the same. Brief description:

piling on international oil prices and the deteriorating environment, make renewable energy are unprecedented attention, and in the field of photovoltaic industry as a renewable energy & other; Take charge of the '& throughout; In the past two years the development of the market in our country the mainlanders.

however, next year will be further changes to the planning for the housing FiT, fiscal year 2019 committee meeting to discuss the housing tax into the same category, regardless of whether there is any obligation to install production devices.
