The leap is to achieve the industry output of one trillion NT and provide over 100,000 Jobs. For PV system industry, the aim is to become one of the world’s major suppliers. For wind power industry, independent construction, operation, and local maintenance manufacturing are basic, followed by establishing offshore wind power generation equipment system, testing, and repair technology.
Promulgated by the President of the Act on July 1st, 2015, Taiwan has started a new era of carbon reduction by setting a long-term reduction target at 2050 and stage-controlled targets of every five years in response to the climate change laws.
Taiwan will adopt a management mechanism with economic incentives to gradually establish a cap and trade system from the free distribution price placement. Three mitigation measures, slowing-down, adjusting, and renewable growth, will be promoted in the future.
