China Taiwan Network According to Taiwan's "Dongsen News Cloud" report on January 23, the wholesale purchase rate for renewable energy in Taiwan this year has not yet been determined, and there are currently offshore Wind power companies have announced that they will suspend investment in Taiwan. Scholars expressed the hope that the Taiwan authorities will maintain a stable policy structure and understand the importance of initial investment in establishing the offshore wind power industry.
The Global Wind Energy Association yesterday invited Taiwanese and international experts and scholars to express their views on the current situation of offshore wind power in Taiwan.
Jiang Maoxiong, a professor at the Department of Engineering Science and Ocean Engineering at National Taiwan University, said that offshore wind power in Taiwan started early and has an advantageous learning curve. Moreover, the special earthquake and typhoon environmental requirements allow technologies developed in Taiwan to be applied to other regions with similar environments. To seize these opportunities, industry-university cooperation and talent development will be important.
Wen Liqi, director of the Green Economy Research Center of the Taiwan-based Chinese Economic Research Institute, pointed out that Taiwan is an economy that relies heavily on export trade. When more and more large international companies like Apple require suppliers to use renewable energy, Taiwan has the ability to Providing large amounts of clean energy to the manufacturing industry has become extremely important.
The Global Wind Energy Association has called on the Taiwan authorities to reconsider the wholesale rates proposed for offshore wind power plans. Taiwan is currently a pioneer in the development of offshore wind power in Asia, but policy instability may set back overall development and miss the opportunity for the renewable energy industry to take root in Taiwan, an industry that can continue to produce products throughout its 25-year life cycle. job opportunity. Many European cases have also verified that the development of offshore wind power can drive the transformation of fishing port towns and bring them unexpected economic development opportunities.
