「We make a final investment decision (FID) and begin construction, with detailed disclosure, after grid construction period and costs have been determined; general grid-related delay risk during development has been eliminated」
For disclosed energy storage projects, the company explains that it has eliminated grid-related delay risk by making the FID and beginning construction only after the grid construction period and costs have been determined. - FY2019-Q3MitigatedAnnual report
「As the application process was completed in October 2018, prospects for connection to the power grid were established and the likelihood of project commercialization increased. Accordingly, during the second quarter of the fiscal year, the company reversed the full amount of its allowance for doubtful accounts and recorded a reversal of allowance for doubtful accounts of ¥88 million as non-operating income.」
At Hitoyoshi Solar, the grid connection application process was completed, improving the prospects for connection and increasing the likelihood of project commercialization. The company therefore fully reversed the ¥88 million allowance for doubtful accounts recorded in prior years. Meanwhile, grid capacity constraints across the region have continued. - FY2019-Q2Discussions on regulatory measures become more concreteAnnual report
「In some regions, transmission network capacity is constrained, making it difficult to advance new promising projects. At the same time, discussions aimed at resolving new issues emerging with the large-scale deployment of renewable energy, including grid constraints and securing balancing capacity, have become more substantive, including through the establishment by the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry of the Subcommittee on Massive Introduction of Renewable Energy and Next-Generation Electricity Networks.」
The company reconfirms the situation of constrained transmission network capacity and difficulty advancing new promising projects, and explains that institutional discussions on grid constraints and securing balancing capacity have become more substantive. - FY2018RestatedAnnual report
「In some regions, transmission network capacity is constrained, making it difficult to advance new promising projects.」
The company reconfirms that transmission network capacity constraints have already arisen in some regions. - FY2018-Q4RestatedAnnual report
「In some regions, the transmission network had been occupied by numerous certified facilities projects for solar power plants and other facilities that were unlikely to be commercialized because other operators had secured priority, making it difficult to advance new, promising projects.」
The company reiterates the previously identified situation in which certified facilities projects occupied transmission network capacity, making it difficult to advance new promising projects. - FY2018-Q2MaterialisedAnnual report
「In some regions, the transmission network had been occupied by numerous certified facilities projects for solar power plants and other facilities that were unlikely to be commercialized because other operators had secured priority, making it difficult to advance new, promising projects.」
The company states that the occupation of transmission network capacity by certified facilities projects and the resulting difficulty of advancing new promising projects had actually arisen in some regions. - FY2017First statedAnnual report
「If other operators enter into connection agreements first, the Group may be unable to secure power grid capacity.」
The company identifies insufficient available grid capacity, reinforcement costs, connection delays arising from the application process and transmission network failures as risks.
