The Feed-in-Tariff (FIT) for renewable energy was introduced in 2012 to promote renewable energy development in Japan such as solar, wind, and biomassInitially, the purchase price was set much higher than the market price, which led to the rapid expansion of renewable energy.

FoE Japan works to ensure the renewable energy development not harm communities and envionment by research and advocacy.
