FIT制度（固定価格買取制度）の崩壊？ The Collapse? of Japan's FIT System

FIT制度（固定価格買取制度）とは太陽光発電など自家発電で発電量が消費量を上回った時に余剰電力として電力会社に売電する制度です。

しかし、電力会社の買い取り価格がずっと下落し、従来の半分以下になっていますので、売り手側は電気を買い取ってもらっても、利益にはつながらず、逆に赤字損失になります。（電力会社からの家庭での売電価格、約30円／KW＞自家発電電力の電力会社への売電価格、約15円／KW）

政府が電力会社と組んで売電せざるを得ないようにうまく仕組んだ見えにくい国民負担です。しかも、これは持続的エネルギー供給に協力している家庭に対して行われています。（添付資料参照。）

来年度1月から3月の僅か3か月間だけ、電気料金を合計で7千円ほど補助することが決まっていますが、こんな子供だましのような補助施策よりもFIT制度（固定価格買取制度）を永久廃止する方が国民としてはずっとありがたい。

なお、持続的エネルギーとしての太陽光発電はFIT制度（固定価格買取制度）には頼らず、小規模、100%自家使用システムにしましょう。

The Collapse? of Japan's FIT System (Feed-in Tariff):

The FIT system (Feed-in Tariff) is a program that allows households with solar power generation or other self-generated electricity to sell surplus power back to the utility company when their generation exceeds consumption.

However, the purchase price offered by utilities has steadily declined, falling below half of what it used to be. Consequently, even when sellers manage to sell their electricity, it no longer generates profit; instead, it results in losses. (Household electricity selling price to utilities: approx. 30 yen/kWh > Self-generated electricity selling price to utilities: approx. 15 yen/kWh)

This is a hidden burden on citizens, cleverly engineered by the government in collusion with utilities to force households into selling electricity. Moreover, this affects households cooperating in sustainable energy supply. (See attached document.)

It has been decided that electricity bills will receive a subsidy of approximately 7,000 yen in total for just three months from January to March next year. However, as citizens, we would rather see the permanent abolition of the FIT system (Feed-in Tariff system) than such a childish measure of a small-scale subsidy.

Furthermore, solar power generation as a sustainable energy source should be implemented as a small-scale, 100% self-consumption system, independent of the FIT program (Feed-in Tariff system).
