Coexisting with the community, ordinances/removing anxiety about understanding residents An
increasing number of local governments have established ordinances for the installation of renewable energy power plants. After the introduction of FIT (Feed-in Tariff), various businesses entered the field of solar power generation one after another. . I interviewed Kikuchi City, Kumamoto Prefecture, where a new ordinance will be enforced in 2022 in an attempt to increase renewable energy while gaining the understanding of the local community.
