台湾最大的电力生产商的首席工程师杜越远称公司将在高雄县建立5兆瓦的电厂。 1兆瓦电力可满足800个美国家庭的用电需求。国营台电（台电）称，建设太阳能站，是为了实现政府拟定的到2015年岛上可再生能源发电容量占百分之十五，减少二氧化碳排放的目标。彭博数据显示：台湾人均气体排放量比世界平均水平高3倍。
“太阳能电站建设财政预算案将毫无问题，因为公司计划提高太阳能发电量”，杜说。该项目的实施还在与台电协商之中。台电公司计划兴建另一座太阳能发电站，在台南台糖拥有的土地安装了4兆瓦容量台的装置。
根据台电的网站消息：4月，可再生能源，包括太阳能和风力涡轮机，占台湾安装容量的5.7%。台湾政府拟定的12月的太阳能发电和风力发电的整体价格最低水平高于火力发电，有力推动可再生能源发展。台湾能源局表示计划于6月批准可再生能源发展条例，减少碳排放，减少岛上对进口的依赖。目前99%的台湾能源需进口。太阳能技术和应用的网站的信息显示输出量60兆瓦的西班牙奥尔梅迪利亚厂是目前世界上最大的光伏电站。
据悉，台湾政府将拥有的97台电机，发电量可满足全岛约75%的用电需求。
"The proposed 5_megawatt plant will surpass a 4.6megawatt facility being constructed in the neighboring
Kaohsiung County, Tu Yuehyuan, chief engineer of Taiwan's biggest electricity producer, said by telephone in
Taipei today. One megawatt is enough to power 800 U.S. homes.
State_run Taiwan Power, known as Taipower, is building solar stations and wind turbines as the government aims
to have renewable energy account for 15 percent of the island's electricity generation capacity by 2025 to help cut
carbon emissions. The industrialized island releases about three times more heat-trapping gases per person than
the world average, Bloomberg data show.
"Budget for it won't be a problem” as the company plans to boost solar power capacity, Tu said. Details of the
project, including costs, aren't yet available, she said.
The utility is negotiating with state_run Taiwan Sugar Corp., which owns the land for the proposed site, Tu said.
Taipower plans to build another solar power station, with installed capacity of 4 megawatts, on Taiwan Sugar_owned
land in Tainan, She said.
Energy Sources
Renewable source, including solar energy and wind turbines, accounted for 5.7 percent of Taiwan’s installed capacity as of April, according to Taipower’s website.
Taiwan's government set minimum wholesale prices in December for electricity generated by solar panels and wind
turbines at levels higher than for power from fossil fuels to spur renewable energy production.
Lawmakers approved the Renewable Energy Development Act in June, designed to help cut carbon emissions and
reduce the island's dependence on imports, according to the Bureau of Energy. Taiwan relies on overseas shipments
for about 99 percent of its energy needs.
The 60_megawatt Olmedilla plant in Spain is the world's biggest photovoltaic power station, according to
pvresources.com, a website on solar technologies and applications.
The government owns 97 percent of Taiwan Power, which generates about 75 percent of the electricity the
island uses.
