The Legislative Yuan approved “Renewable Energy Development Bill”, much to the concern of Taiwan’s energy development, on June 12th. The bill is aimed to increase self-made energy, promote the diversity of energy, help reduce greenhouse gases in terms of environmental protection, and to activate the growing of renewable energy industries. Both the ruling and the opposition parties regard the pass of the bill as positive to Taiwan’s “green energy” development, while the environmental groups think that developing is different from promoting, and that it requires more relevant collaborative measures to encourage people to resort to renewable energy.  

    The main scope of “Renewable Energy Development Bill” includes planning to increase the capacity of Taiwan’s renewable energy generating equipment, using the purchasing measures, encouraging measures, and loosened laws to appeal people to renewable energy, so as to make good use of Taiwan’s potential on renewable energy.
