4. The New Buyback Program for PV Generation / Costs to electricity users
It is estimated that the monthly addition for a standard household will range between ¥30 and ¥100.
The result of estimation for an addition per kWh shows that an initial addition will be ¥0.1/kWh and a monthly addition for a standard household will be ¥30 - 100.
* The estimates below indicate the amount of the entire purchasing cost, and thus, avoidable cost and the amount equivalent to the cost incurred before the fare revision have not been deducted. Therefore, the amount of PV surcharge will actually be lower than the figures listed below.
Initial Period | In 5-10 years | ||
---|---|---|---|
Total Purchase | Approx. ¥80-90 billion/year | Approx. ¥180-300 billion/year | |
Monthly addition per kWh | Approx. ¥0.10/kWh | Approx. ¥0.15-0.30/kWh | |
Monthly addition for a standard household * Electricity consumption: Approx. 3,600 (kWh/year) |
Approx. ¥360/year | Approx. ¥540-1,080/year | |
Monthly addition for industry as a whole * Electricity consumption: Approx. 360 billion (kWh/year) |
Approx. ¥36 billion/year | Approx. ¥54-108 billion/year | |
Of which, the amount borne by industries with a large demand | * Electricity consumption: Approx. 282 billion (kWh/year) | Approx. ¥28.2billion/year | Approx. ¥42.3-84.6 billion/year |
(e.g.) Machinery * Electricity consumption: Approx. 72 billion (kWh/year) |
Approx. ¥7.2 billion/year | Approx. ¥10.8-21.6 billion/year | |
(e.g.) Steel * Electricity consumption: Approx. 36 billion (kWh/year) |
Approx. Approx. ¥3.6 billion/year | Approx. ¥5.4-10.8 billion/year | |
(e.g.) Chemicals * Electricity consumption: Approx. 30 billion (kWh/year) |
Approx. Approx. ¥3 billion/year | Approx. ¥4.5-9.0 billion/year | |
Of which amount borne by small- and medium-sized enterprises | (e.g.) Small restaurants * Electricity consumption: Approx. 8,400 (kWh/year) |
Approx. ¥840/year | Approx. ¥1,260-2,520/year |
(e.g.) Small- and medium-sized factories * Electricity consumption: Approx. 0.3 million (kWh/year) |
Approx. ¥30,000/year | Approx. ¥45,000-90,000/year |
* The estimation for both standard households and industries with large demand is performed on the basis of the current consumption
* Compiled on the basis of Electricity Demand in FY 2008 (Confirmed Report) by the Federation of Electric Power Companies of Japan (April 30, 2009)
