[Basic Knowledge] Essential Knowledge for Power Procurement: Renewable Energy Surcharge

Reducing dependence on fossil fuels! Introducing a system that all citizens using electricity will contribute to.

In July 2012, a fixed-price purchase system for renewable energy was introduced, which supported the spread of renewable energy, including solar power. Under the fixed-price purchase system, the costs of purchasing electricity are covered by adding them to the electricity bills of the public. This is referred to as the "renewable energy surcharge." The renewable energy surcharge aims to promote the spread of renewable energy. As the adoption of renewable energy progresses, it also leads to a reduction in dependence on fossil fuels. This helps to mitigate the rise in electricity prices caused by fluctuations in fuel prices. Additionally, the prices at which power companies purchase electricity from renewable energy producers are set at a long-term fixed rate, which also takes into account a certain profit for the producers.
