Abstract
Germany reformed its feed-in tariff system in 2014. This reform was based on adjusting the tariffs for each type of renewable energy according to necessity and timing, the importance of fair burden sharing and international competitiveness, the acceptance by citizens of grid construction, the adjustment of power for renewable energy and fair burden sharing. Japan As a latecomer, Japan has much to learn from Germany’s lessons. The framework of Germany's feed-in tariff system itself did not change, but the price is reduced and the direct transaction and market premiums are larger. Also an auctioning system is to be introduced.
