The feed-in tariff is the most effective way to promote RE.
Renewable energy support schemes, such as feed-in tariffs (FITs), quota obligations, capital grants and subsidies, will continue to play a role in promoting the growth of Europe's renewable energy use by 2020, according to GlobalData. Feed-in tariffs are the most effective way to promote RE. Wind and solar power have benefited the most.
In 2014, renewable energy plant installations accounted for 40% of the total capacity added
The European Union has set a target of 20% RE for each member state in 2020, and 10% in transport

10% to 12% yield expected on a power plant in Japan
The Taiwanese manufacturer of conductive paste Giga Solar is building up a portfolio of solar power plants. Its 12 MW project in Okayama (Japan) is expected to provide a 10-12% return on investment and a 30% rate of return on invested capital from a feed-in tariff of 36 yen per kWh. Operations will begin in the first quarter of 2016.
Digitimes of 4 September
Editor's note: it is quite rare for a project manager to announce a rate of return on his investment. It is usually a well-kept secret. Especially when this rate is high.
This return of 10% to 12% is enough to shake up Japanese public opinion, which may wonder why the government or the electricity companies pay so much for electricity. It would not be surprising if there were a severe cut in the feed-in tariff in the new financial year (from 1 April 2016).
