Exploring New Priority Power Supply Rules Impacting Renewable Energy: Seminar Insights

Seminar on New Priority Power Supply Rules for Renewable Energy

On August 26, 2026, a seminar titled "New Priority Power Supply Rules Facing Renewable Energy" will be hosted by Naotaka Otani, a Senior Consultant at Mitsubishi Research Institute's Electricity and Energy Division. This event aims to provide critical insights into significant changes in electricity supply rules that will affect the renewable energy sector.

Overview of the Seminar

The seminar will be held from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. at the SSK Seminar Room located at the Zaimax Nishishinbashi Building in Tokyo, and it will also be available online via Zoom webinar. Additionally, participants will have access to an archived video for two weeks, allowing them to watch it at their convenience.

Key Topics to be Covered

Attendees can expect to gain a comprehensive understanding of the new priority power supply rules that will roll out gradually from the end of FY2026. These rules will redefine the order in which renewable energy output curtailments are applied, affecting how Feed-in-Tariff (FIT) and Feed-in-Premium (FIP) technologies will operate. The seminar will delve into several crucial topics:

1. Overview of New Priority Power Supply Rules and Implementation Schedule
Attendees will learn about the structural changes to the priority power supply process and the timeline for their implementation across different regions.

2. Changes in Output Curtailment Risks for FIT/FIP Sources
The seminar will explain how the modifications to the rules will influence the output curtailment rates for FIT and FIP sources and the expected impact on revenue from electricity sales.

3. Projections for Future Output Curtailment Rates
Participants will discuss anticipated increases in output curtailment and the subsequent rise in the use of FIP technology.

4. Estimated Opportunity Losses in Sale Revenues with Continuous FIT
The risk of revenue loss due to continued reliance on the FIT system will be evaluated in relation to the new rules.

5. Factors Influencing Revenue Fluctuations Post-FIP Transition
Attendees will examine other critical risk factors that need to be addressed after transitioning to FIP, such as market price volatility and potential decreases in sale prices.

6. Interactive Q&A Session
The seminar will conclude with a session for questions and networking opportunities for participants to connect with industry experts and peers.
