Examples from Japan and Taiwan

Fewer new renewable energy projects in Japan earn a feed-in premium (FIP) than in recent years, yet more and more legacy feed-in tariff (FIT) projects are converting to the newer scheme. This webinar explores how changing market dynamics make zero premium projects viable, and why power purchase agreements (PPAs) matter more than ever.

Joshua Grimm and Emilien Hardy walk through best practice modelling techniques for evaluating what a zero premium means, building PPAs into the model and testing their impact with scenario analysis.
