Japanese METI has discussed renewable energy mass-introduction
Japanese government(METI) holds 5 study meetings for "renewable energy mass-introduction".
METI will assess Japan's long term energy supply & demand plan (energy mix plan) next spring. The main challenges include cost burden for tax & electricity fee payers, renewables cost reduction, grid connections and infrastructure for offshore wind power promotion.
5 open meetings were held on 25 May, 7 June, 14 June, 20 June and 4 July. MVOW executive and GE were invited for discussion at the meeting that took place on 14 June.
The conclusion summary is announced on 13 July as followsː
Chapter
1. Achieve cost competitiveness
2. Independent(Graduate) from FIT
(1) Utilize market function (FIPːFeed-in Premium etc)
(2) New aspects of renewable energy (ZEBːNet Zero Energy building)
(3) Zoning for promoting renewable energies (Ex. European offshore wind power "central system")
3. Expand grid acceptance for renewable energies
(1) Maximum utilization of existing grid lines ("Connected & managed in Japan")
(2) Optimize the curtailment fairly
(3) Grid reinforcement (cost burden)
(4) Ensuring proper adjustment power
