On January 17, the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry held a procurement price calculation committee to discuss the operation of the bidding system that will be applied to solar power generation in FY2023.
At the meeting, the secretariat proposed a bidding system for commercial solar power that will be applied in FY2023. According to it, as in this fiscal year, it will target 250 kW or more, conduct four times a year, and announce the upper limit price.
Regarding the upper bid price, we will adopt the same concept as this year. (outside the scope of bidding) was set between the procurement price and the reference price. In addition, with regard to the capacity to be offered, 105 MW, which is the average value of the successful bid capacity (total) of the three bids this fiscal year, will be set as the first offer capacity in FY2024, and a plan to flexibly increase or decrease it under the same rules as before was presented. rice field.
On the other hand, as a change, for the next fiscal year, there will be no division between FIP power sources and FIT power sources, and all 250kW and above will compete within a single bidding quota. Regarding roof installation, existing buildings were already excluded from bidding from this fiscal year, but new buildings were added to this. On the premise that they will be
This fiscal year, in addition to these FIT/FIP projects, subsidies to promote the introduction of photovoltaic power generation led by consumers (13.5 billion yen supplementary budget for FY2021, 12.5 billion yen initial budget for FY2022) A total of 209 MW projects have been adopted (scheduled to start operation within this fiscal year or next fiscal year). ), it is expected to be adopted for a fixed-capacity customer-driven solar power generation project.
