The old maxim don t count your chickens price to sales before they re hatched appears to be fully

The old maxim don t count your chickens price to sales before they re hatched appears to be fully applicable to Japan s solar sector. Over the weekend the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (MITI) announced that hearings will start soon on why 780 solar projects from 670 developers approved in Fiscal 2012 have not been completed. Together these amount to about 3-GW of capacity.
MITI is reported to be considering cancelling feed-in tariff (FiT) allocations for delayed price to sales solar power projects following reports that some developers have put off construction while they wait for equipment costs to come down.
Japan s renewable energy FiT regime came into effect on 1 June 2012 and by 31 March 2013 (the end of Fiscal 2012) 18,681-MW price to sales of non-residential solar power projects had received approval, according to MITI s figures, which suggests a 16 percent non-compliance rate.
The ministry investigated projects of 400-KW or more in size, examining land acquisition and equipment readiness. Some exemptions were applied to projects proposed for construction in disaster areas where decontamination of land is still required, price to sales thought to make up around 13 percent of the total capacity.
At price to sales the time the survey was initiated last October a MITI official told PV Tech that if projects were found to have been deliberately delayed due to developers and project owners waiting for costs to fall in order to maximize revenue, price to sales support to those projects including FiT eligibility could be revoked.
Every day huge, invisible price to sales flows of natural capital assist global and local economies to turn, but remain unrecognized, unmonitored and unregulated. PwC Indonesia s Moray McLeish says government and the private sector have a responsibility to place a tangible value on natural capital in order to prevent mismanagement, abuse, and misappropriation, leading to the degradation of ecosystems and the loss of biodiversity.
Hong Kong's main water sources, located in Southern China, are under environmental stress price to sales and the situation doesn't auger well for the future. Su Liu, head of Greater China & water policy research at Civic Exchange, believes the city has the professional price to sales knowhow price to sales and capability, but lacks an overall long term vision for water resource development.
