The
small hydraulic generation is defined as the hydraulic generation with a
capacity of less than 1,000 kW. It is suitable for generation using a brook or
an agricultural irrigation channel. It is a dispersed power system with a
relatively stable output. Seabell International is actively expanding business
in alliance with Osaka Gas. The company plans to increase sales quantity six
times by offering a lease system without front-end payment. Farmers collaborate
with Energy Bank Japan, a subsidiary of Osaka Gas, to conclude a contract with
a leasing company. They pay the lease fee with revenue from electric power
selling, and split the balance.
Nippon Koei has participated in the small hydraulic generation market with its
medium-sized generators that have a capacity of 400 kW, though it specializes
in large-sized generators with a capacity between 2,000 and 5,000 kW. With the
introduction of the system to purchase power generated by renewable energy,
power generators can sell power to electric power companies for 20 years. The selling price of power
generated by hydraulic generation with a capacity less than 200 kW is set at
35.7 yen per kW, that with a capacity between 200 and 1,000 kW is set at 30.45
yen per kW, and that with a capacity between 1,000 and 30,000 kW is set at 25.2
yen per kW.
