[Reporter Chen Zhengyu/Taipei Report] Solar photovoltaics and offshore wind power are the two pioneers of green energy. However, the installed capacity of both this year has not reached the standard. The outside world is worried that it will affect the policy target of 20% of renewable energy power generation in 2025.

In this regard, Vice Minister of Economic Affairs Zeng Wensheng stated today (29th) that this is a 7-8 year overall plan, and the current assessment will be postponed by one year until 2026 to achieve the goal.

The Energy Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs announced yesterday that due to the impact of the epidemic, the Ukrainian-Russian war, and typhoons, a total of 188 offshore wind turbines have been completed this year, failing to reach the target of 200. The cumulative grid connection of solar photovoltaics is 9.72GW, which has also failed to reach the target of 11.25GW. ; However, offshore wind power increased by more than 1GW in a single year, and photovoltaic grid connection reached 2.02GW, still setting a new high.

The Economic Committee of the Legislative Yuan reviewed the "Draft Amendment to Some Provisions of the Renewable Energy Development Regulations" today. Zeng Wensheng said in an interview before the meeting that with regard to the current progress of wind power, only a few wind farms are not progressing smoothly, but most wind farms are going smoothly.

Zeng Wensheng pointed out that the Ministry of Economic Affairs has been explaining one thing to the outside world. Our country will achieve the goal of 20% renewable energy power generation. In fact, this is an overall plan for 7 to 8 years, because the power generation time of the installed capacity will not be realized until the next year. In addition, due to the increase in power generation due to the economic boom in the past few years, the goal will be slightly delayed by one year.

In addition, for the 2030 carbon reduction target, the National Development Council yesterday revised the reduction from the original 20% to 24% plus or minus 1 percentage point; the media is concerned about whether the original promotion budget of 900 billion yuan will be increased.

Zeng Wensheng responded that regarding government expenditures, the government is now adopting a new electricity industry approach. The construction of renewable energy is in principle carried out by seeking domestic and foreign private investment, not entirely government expenditures.

Zeng Wensheng explained that government expenditures are mostly reflected in the power grid. Taipower Corporation has proposed an overall budget of more than 500 billion yuan for 10 years, and this part has been clearly explained to the public; as for the overall plan of 900 billion yuan, it will still follow the existing plan. planning to proceed.
