「All megasolar projects in which we currently invest have purchase prices of ¥32/kWh or more. However, purchase prices for solar power under the feed-in tariff scheme are trending downward, and new investment opportunities in projects with purchase prices of ¥32/kWh or more are expected eventually to disappear. To prepare for this, we are researching ways to develop projects at lower cost so they remain profitable even at lower purchase prices. We are also considering investments in other renewable energy projects with higher purchase prices than solar power. We have already made trial investments in wind power and biomass.」
In anticipation of fewer opportunities involving purchase prices of ¥32/kWh or more, we are researching low-cost development and considering and testing investments in renewable energy other than solar power, including wind and biomass.
