Upcoming Seminar on Renewable Energy Business Fundamentals

The Second Seminar titled "Zero to Learn the Basics of Renewable Energy Business", led by Takahiro Dan, a principal at the Japan Research Institute, is set to take place on May 22, 2025. This educational event is particularly timely as the market for environmental value transactions continues to expand, driven by increased corporate demand for renewable energy.

Seminar Overview

The series consists of two sessions, and attendees can opt to join one or both:

• - Session 1: May 8, 2025, from 1 PM to 3 PM (available for archive viewing)
• - Session 2: May 22, 2025, from 1 PM to 3 PM

Both sessions will be conducted via Zoom Webinar, allowing for live participation or archive access for two weeks post-event.

Key Focus Areas

The seminars focus on emerging trends in renewable energy, particularly the legal framework changes and new business opportunities arising from corporate power purchase agreements (PPAs), environmental value transactions, and more. With the introduction of the GX Promotion Law, which facilitates a smoother transition to a carbon-neutral economy, organizations can look forward to greater opportunities in renewable energy and environmental value transactions.

Session 1 will cover:

• - The energy fundamental plan and related laws such as the Electric Utility Law and the Special Measures Law for Renewable Energy
• - Physical and virtual PPA schemes, Environment Value Trading mechanisms, and the implications of the new GX Promotion Law.

Session 2 will delve into:

• - The FIP system introduced in April 2022, including the necessary know-how for FIP projects, recent regulatory trends, and the requirements for future renewable energy project developers.
