[Reporter Cai Wenju/Tainan Report] The Kuomintang group of the Tainan City Council received complaints from the public that solar photovoltaic panels were widely planted in important water-use lands. Today, a press conference was held to criticize that the city government’s solar photovoltaics were actually planted in "water-use lands" and drained. What is the function of flood prevention?

In-depth investigation is required.

The Nanshi Economic Development Bureau clarified that solar photovoltaics are allowed in water use land, but there are some restrictions. Water storage, water supply, and flood control functions must be ensured. They will go to Huikan. If there are regulations that affect flood control and drainage, they will ask for improvement .

The Nanshi Water Conservancy Bureau stated that the case belongs to the farmland drainage road under the jurisdiction of the Jianan Management Office of the Agriculture and Water Administration. It is agricultural land and does not involve drainage in areas under the jurisdiction of the Water Resources Bureau.

Cai Yuhui, secretary-general of the Kuomintang League in Nanshi City, and city councilors Lin Yanzhu, Cai Zonghao, and Fang Yifeng held a press conference on "Modified Sunlight" today.

Cai Yuhui said that "water utilization land" is an important facility to prevent floods and protect people's lives and property safety when the rainy season or typhoon season comes. However, Tainan develops solar photovoltaics, including agricultural power symbiosis, fishery power symbiosis and other small areas of less than 2 hectares. More than 400 projects have been approved, which has also caused public dissatisfaction. Now it is even more outrageous. He actually planted electricity in the water utilization area. He received complaints from the public about the solar photovoltaic in the salt water water show section. Weeds are overgrown, which may affect the water flow.

Cai Zonghao and others said that most of Taiwan’s energy is imported, Japan also relies on imported energy, and Japan also strives to reduce carbon emissions, but Japan does not plant electricity in water conservancy land because it affects drainage. Haiwei Road, Annan District, Tainan is planning to install 400 branches of humane solar. Photovoltaic panels, just a few days ago there was an accident where a steel column was blown down by a strong wind. Fortunately, no pedestrians passed by, otherwise what should I do if I hurt people?

How to prevent floods and drain water when the land is fully charged?

In particular, it will take a very long time to restore the impact on the ecological environment caused by the recycling and installation of solar photovoltaic panels, which cannot be ignored.

Nanshi Councilor Cai Yuhui said that the public complained that the solar photovoltaics are installed on the drainage facilities, and the weeds are overgrown, which may affect the water flow.
