Less Than 10% of Approved Megasolars Have Started Operation in Chugoku Area

It turned out that only 22 megasolar project out of 241 in Chugoku area which had been approved by the national government had been started operation by the end of May this year.

METI sees that it is because of the today's general delay in material procurement and also that some project entities are waiting for price decline of solar facilities once their plans were successfully approved under the FiT scheme at the price of 42 JPY per kWh.

The ministry decided to investigate the current situation throughout Japan.
