16 Future of Fukushima July 2012 after the feed-in tariff enforcement, certification capacity of PV facilities in Fukushima Prefecture beyond the 4.3 million kw. With respect to the increase of such abrupt renewable energy, grid connection pending PV occurred. Even if it is connected to the grid, it is likely that the conditions of the output suppressing or purchase stop or with some limitation is imposed.
