抄録

From July 2012, the FIT (Feed-in-tariff) scheme was brought to effect to enhance deployment of renewable energies in Japan, in a similar way with European countries. Although the FIT succeeded in increasing share of renewable energies in those preceding countries, but high cost caused by introduction of renewable energies imposed heavy burden on economy and society of those countries. In Spain, France, Italy and even Germany, the FIT has been already stopped or abolished due to expanding governmental expenditure or high electricity tariff. And there seems to be one more important factor for those countries to decide to take a backward step from the FIT, that is, increasing share of imported renewable energy facilities, especially from China. Originally the expected outcome by introduction of the FIT also includes the development of“domestic”renewable energy industry, resulting in green growth, which can be thought to cover the high cost of renewable energies. This is also one of the targets that Japan's FIT scheme is expected to achieve. However, the reality is that Chinese companies grabbed most of share especially in European solar photovoltaic industry, focal industry in the FIT, by making use of their cost competitiveness. How can Chinese companies obtain cost competitiveness of renewable energy industry? This is the question answered in this article. Wind turbine industry is taken as a case study, which is an emerging industry to Chinese companies in 2000s. It is paid attention that Chinese government adopted the RPS (Renewable Portfolio Standard) not FIT to promote the deployment of wind power, which gave more incentives for companies to reduce their cost. And national project in which government opened bid to build national wind farm, played important role to nurture domestic companies at the early stage. In conclusion, the incentive design and industrial policy are important in the development of competitive renewable energy industry, which are missing in Japan's FIT scheme.
