[Reporter Liao Jianing/Report from Taipei] Faced with the growing trend of high electricity consumption in domestic industries, whether it constitutes a difficult problem on the way to net zero transition, Zeng Wensheng, deputy minister of the Ministry of Economic Affairs and acting chairman of Taipower, explained that the resources of any economy have limits, so the first The main task is how to improve the efficiency of resource use and increase the added value of production. This is also the goal that all industries are pursuing. I also believe that domestic industries are now looking for various breakthrough methods.

Zeng Wensheng attended the opening ceremony of Taipower's "Island Power Life-Taiwan Power's Era" special exhibition today (5th). After the meeting, he accepted media interviews to explain the progress of energy transformation and the growth of industrial electricity consumption.

Regarding the impact of the increase in electricity consumption year by year on the progress of the proportion of green energy, Zeng Wensheng, deputy minister of the Ministry of Economic Affairs, said that when the plan was drawn up in 2016 and 2017, it was planned that the proportion of green electricity would reach 20% by 2025. Now it is estimated that various renewable energy installations In terms of progress, due to external factors, it is slightly behind. It is currently expected to achieve this goal by the end of 2026, and the overall schedule will be delayed by one year.

He also emphasized that green energy construction is a long-term plan and will speed up to catch up with the progress.

Regarding the domestic industrial electricity consumption situation, Zeng Wensheng explained that in any economy or any country, its resources actually have an upper limit. Therefore, in the development of domestic industries, the most important thing is to improve the efficiency of resource use and increase the production value. Value, just like land, labor, and talents are limited resources, so how to create more added value from limited resources will be the goal that all industries must pursue.

Zeng Wensheng said that electricity itself is an important pillar for the development of the supply industry, but it will extend to other added value and life utility. Therefore, under the same electricity consumption, it is more efficient and has more added value. Therefore, industrial adjustment and future development will be Advance in a more diverse direction.

He went on to say that, in addition, more and more young people are involved in relevant jobs to improve the added value of the economic system. This is a comprehensive development, not just the development of a single industry. , It has also happened that some specific industries have grown rapidly, but they will eventually transform and invest in more value-added work. I believe that such changes will continue to occur in the future.

The media asked, apart from such changes in the semiconductor industry, is there a similar situation in other industries?

Zeng Wensheng said that in fact, the steel industry will also change. For example, the steel plate material will be reduced, and the manufacturing process will be improved, which will improve the toughness and uniformity of the steel plate, and the price will increase accordingly. So this is in line with the future. It is related to the production form and efficiency.

He also pointed out whether special functions can be developed to meet future needs. For example, there will be more electric vehicles in the future, and the body structure will need to be lighter. Matching will be new industries and new techniques. Judging from the past development of Taiwan, I believe that domestic industries are already looking for various breakthrough methods and conducting various researches.
