Taiwanese Industry Expects LED Lighting Subsidy Policy

Taiwan lacks natural energy. If it does not develop nuclear power, it will face the problem of power shortage. Therefore, renewable energy has become the focus of energy policy. However, Wu Zhaiyi, president of the Taiwan Institute of Comprehensive Research, pointed out that the state should focus on stable energy supply rather than entirely on renewable energy. Energy development.

Wu Zaiyi believes that the development of renewable energy will inevitably require traditional thermal power generation as backup power, but Taiwan is already the world’s number one per capita carbon emitter. Therefore, Taiwan should not only blindly develop renewable energy, but should rationalize the electricity price on the one hand. The use of energy-saving products was subsidized to actively save electricity and reduce the loss of Taipower.

Taking 80% of LED products as a power-saving effect, the use of LED lighting throughout the country can save 22.4 billion kWh of electricity, while Taiwan’s three nuclear plants will also generate 40 billion kWh of electricity. The obvious effect of LED lighting energy-saving will be effective. Improve energy use.

As for the part of Taiwan's electricity price, Wu Zaiyi pointed out that energy prices are unreasonable, and that Taiwan has the ability to continue to use the lowest price? He pointed out that Taiwan’s electricity prices are even lower than those in Shanghai and Beijing, which means that Taiwan’s electricity prices are so low.

"The electricity price should be rationalized." Wu Zaiyi emphasized that under the global trend of sharp fluctuations in energy prices and greenhouse gas reductions, we should not only think negatively about possible economic shocks, but we should also make good use of this new international low. Carbon economy transfer opportunity. In developing industrial measures, we should consider carbon footprint, laws and regulations, regulations....

He also pointed out that from the development of energy-saving and carbon-reducing industries, LED industry is a very useful industry.

Wu Zaiyi hopes that the government will be able to increase the code for the LED industry and will work even harder in the IP (patent), standards, and testing processes. We also hope to work hand in hand with China and go international.
