We are pleased to announce that we have launched an asset management service for large bulk Non-FIT low voltage solar power (hereinafter referred to as "the Service").

Background of this service

As the FIT system for solar power generation shifts from protection to independence, and the number of available development sites for large solar power generation such as special high-voltage and high-voltage solar power generation is decreasing, low-voltage solar power generation is attracting attention.

Until now, ownership of one to several FIT low-voltage solar power generation by small and medium-sized companies, individuals, etc. has been the mainstream. However, major renewable energy power generation companies have begun planning and working on schemes in which they own hundreds to thousands of non-FIT low-voltage solar power generation units (low-voltage solar bulk schemes).

In order to promote profitable projects under non-FIT, there are challenges in asset management of low-voltage solar power generation under non-FIT, including discussions and initiatives with new players that did not exist under the FIT system, such as electricity consumers and retail electricity suppliers, dealing with generation imbalance risk, and establishing a mechanism to efficiently manage multiple low-voltage solar power generation projects. There are issues that need to be addressed in order to manage low-voltage PV assets under a non-FIT system.

The Company has a cumulative total of approximately 880 MW (DC size) and a total project cost of approximately 140 billion yen (as of March 31, 2023) as a self-investment, asset management, and advisory business for special high-voltage fit projects in the solar and biomass power generation business.

In addition, the Company has begun arranging financing and asset management for a large-scale non-FIT low-voltage solar power generation project owned by a power producer that has entered into a long-term power purchase agreement utilizing renewable energy with a third party that is a subsidiary of a major global e-commerce company, as well as advisory services for Ricoh Leasing Company, Ltd. in its solar power generation business. Ltd. to provide advisory services for its solar power generation business.

Based on this track record, we have launched an asset management service for large bulk non-FIT low-voltage solar power.

2. future outlook

We will contribute to the promotion of renewable energy introduction in Japan through this service in cooperation with corporate customers, low-voltage solar power generation EPC contractors, and O&M contractors who wish to procure renewable energy power sources.

For corporations that wish to procure renewable energy power sources, contractors that have land and development projects for non-FIT low-voltage solar power and are in need of funds, and customers who would like to hear more about our detailed services, please feel free to contact us.
