The rules were scheduled to be applied during FY 2026, but because several improvements were planned to deal with the change of other related schemes, etc., ANRE will swiftly apply the rules in sequence to the area where these improvements are completed. Under the new rule, the output of FIT power sources will be curtailed first and then FIP power sources, and thus FIP power sources are not subject to the curtailment for the meantime.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div style=\"background: #f5deb3;padding: 10px;border: 2px#3399cc;border-radius: 5px\">\n<p><strong><span style=\"letter-spacing: 0.05em\"><span style=\"letter-spacing: 0.05em\"><span style=\"letter-spacing: 0.05em\">&lt;Key points&gt;<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>As a result of calculating the output curtailment rate, although the rate was high in the Tohoku (44%) and Hokkaido (26%) regions, the effect of reducing output curtailment due to grid measures was large, and significant decrease was made in the Tohoku, Hokkaido, and Kyushu regions<\/li>\n<li>As a general rule, payment of demolition costs is required to be deposited at the start of the project<\/li>\n<li>The output curtailment rate after the revision of the priority dispatch rules was calculated on a trial basis.
