Taiwan sets short-term PV installation capacity target
The Taiwan government has approved a 2-year PV power generation development project proposed by the Bureau of Energy (BOE) under the Ministry of Economic Affairs, with a target total PV installation capacity of 1.52 GWp.
Target total PV installation capacity consists of 910 MWp rooftop PV systems and 610 MWp ground-mounted PV power-generating stations. BOE will boost establishment of rooftop PV systems among government organizations, public schools, factories and agricultural facilities. Sites available for setting up PV power-generating stations are mainly contaminated land as well as reservoirs and ponds.
The 2-year project is expected to bring an estimated US$2.91 billion in investment and create 9,120 jobs.
