[SMM PV News] European Power Prices Hit Annual Lows Amid Dropping Demand and Solar Surge

Japanese renewable energy developer Sun Village Co., Ltd. announced its mid-to-long-term growth strategy "Road to 2030", mapping out a 50-billion-yen investment blueprint to build a next-generation energy infrastructure combining renewable supply with battery storage flexibility. By 2030, the company plans to scale its solar power development and ownership capacity to 2GW, while establishing a deployment network for 400MW of grid-scale battery storage. Representative Director Tsuguhiro Mimura emphasized that integrating generation, storage, and supply-demand operations will maximize energy value and drive sustainable growth. To transition renewable energy into a primary power source and navigate Japan's strict grid constraints, Sun Village will diversify its revenue streams via the Feed-in Premium (FIP) system and corporate PPAs, while fully entering the supply-demand adjustment and capacity markets. Through these initiatives, the company aims to evolve into a comprehensive energy platform handling everything from asset creation to intelligent control, ultimately targeting a sales scale of 100 billion yen. This dual focus on supply and adjustment capacity is designed to stabilize the local grid, enhance disaster resilience, and support Japan’s broader decarbonization goals.

Since 2017, Vietnam’s solar market has grown rapidly under strong policy support, especially feed-in tariff incentives. This drove fast capacity expansion but also exposed grid constraints as development outpaced transmission infrastructure. As subsidies gradually phased out, market logic shifted from policy-driven growth to energy security and system stability.

Recently, AIKO was awarded the highest A-level rating in Wood Mackenzie's "2026 Global PV Module Manufacturer Ranking." This rating, based on a comprehensive evaluation using authoritative data from the full year 2025, indicates that AIKO has reached the highest standards of the PV industry in terms of product performance, technological innovation, and comprehensive strength.
