Tensor Energy Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: 1-11-1 Tenjin, Chuo-ku, Fukuoka City; Representatives: Nana Hori, Carlos Vincent Filter; hereinafter "Tensor Energy") announces the launch of a recruitment program for partner EPC companies to promote the transition of FIT solar power plants to the FIP scheme (hereinafter "FIP transition"). Tensor Energy Launches Call for Partner EPC Companies to Promote FIP Transition of FIT Solar Power Plants Starting April 2027, the "priority supply rule" regarding output suppression will change, making FIT power sources subject to output control before FIP power sources. Ahead of this change, and amid growing concerns over further deterioration in profitability of FIT solar power plants—particularly in the Kyushu region—Tensor Energy is launching a partnership program to collaborate with EPC companies nationwide. This initiative aims to jointly deliver value to power plant owners through FIP transition and create new revenue streams for EPC businesses. Background: Changes to Priority Supply Rules and the Necessity of FIP Transition According to the "Long-term Outlook on Renewable Energy Output Control" published by the Agency for Natural Resources and Energy in June 2025, after the revision of the priority supply rules, FIT power sources will be prioritized for output suppression over FIP power sources. As output suppression becomes increasingly frequent nationwide, FIT power plant owners face significant long-term risks of reduced electricity sales revenue. In contrast, transitioning to FIP can substantially reduce the risk of being subjected to output control under the revised rules. Additionally, by co-locating battery storage systems, power plants can participate in the supply-demand adjustment market and generate additional revenue. Thus, FIP transition represents a strong strategic option for plant owners and opens up multifaceted business opportunities for EPC companies—including construction contracts, PCS replacements, and battery
