Revenue Calculator

Project inputs

Revenue is annualised from the selected historical window

Optional location discount on the 発電側課金 kW rate (default 0): the amount in your TSO's 系統連系受電サービス料金 table for your connection substation, from 1 Nov 2026 (for example 九州 A-1 ¥44.33); applied to all months
Shape follows the area's actual TSO output per day; level scaled to this CF. METI FY2024–26: ground-mounted ≥50 kW 18.3%, rooftop 14.5%

EPRX 三次② measures the day-ahead→gate-closure forecast revision, not the error vs actual output. Scale to a single plant here.
blank = 68.4% calibrated — |anomaly|-weighted share of Kyushu (九州) solar half-hours whose error direction matched the published 系統余剰/不足 (6,162 informative half-hours, 2025-10-23 → 2026-10-21; long × surplus 82%, short × shortage 55%); type a figure to override

Imbalance prices are the official 30-minute area 余剰/不足インバランス料金単価 published by the nine general transmission and distribution companies on their joint site (インバランス料金情報公表ウェブサイト, imbalanceprices-cs.jp). Short positions settle at the shortage price, long positions at the surplus price. Per slot, the adverse spread is the direction that hurts (shortage − day-ahead when short, day-ahead − surplus when long) and the favourable spread the direction that helps. Expected cost per kWh of forecast error = adverse share × adverse spread + (1 − adverse share) × favourable spread; renewable forecast errors are correlated with system imbalance, so the default adverse share is 70%. FIP generators also receive the METI バランシングコスト allowance, which depends on the delivery and FIP-start fiscal years (FY2026 ¥1.70–2.00/kWh). FIT plants carry no imbalance exposure; physical corporate PPAs usually pass it to the retailer.
