III. Key Issues and Challenges -26-

1. Major Conclusions of National Energy Conference o To prioritize the implementation of energy conservation and promotion of energy efficiency, as "no regret strategy", with target of 28% energy saving by year o To promote the use of LNG, from annual consumption of 3.9 million tons in 1998 to 13 million tons in The price difference between natural gas and coal will be reduced. o To promote the use of co-generation, renewable energy, hydropower, and also to increase the weight of clean energy in energy portfolio. -27-

o Set the structure of the primary energy supply for the year 2020 at * Coal 27-30% * Petroleum 37-40% * National Gas 14-16% * Hydro 1-3% * Nuclear 13-15% * New Energy 1-3%. -28-

o Set the structure of the installed capacity for the year 2020 at * Coal-fired 35-37% * Oil-fired 4-5% * Gas-fired 27-29% * Hydro 9-11% * Nuclear 19-20% * New Energy 1-3%. -29-

1. Deregulating Energy Enterprises: *Within three months after the legislature approves the Petroleum Administration Law, all varieties of oil products shall be allowed to import. *The revised draft of the Electricity Law will widely open the operating pattern of power generation. When the legislature approves the draft, the monopoly of Taiwan Power Company will be eliminated. 2. Key Issues and Challenges -30-

2. Augmenting Research & Development on Renewable Energy: *Implementing the Measures for Promoting Solar Water-Heating Systems (15-20% subsidized) *Implementing the Measures for Promoting Solar Photovoltaic Systems (up to 50% subsidized) *Implementing the Measures for Promoting Wind- Power Generators (up to 50% subsidized) *Formulating the law and the program for developing renewable energy respectively -31-

3. Strengthening Energy Efficiency & Energy Conservation: *Establishing an energy efficiency index and auditing system *Implementing an auditing system for energy users *Raising the energy efficiency standards of equipment and revise fuel economy standards for vehicles 4. Establishing a Nuclear-Free Taiwan: *Formulating a statute for the early decommission of the existing three nuclear power plants -32-

5.Promoting Privatization of Electricity Sector : *On September 3,1994, the MOEA published the "Guidelines for the Opening of the Independent Power Generation Industry". *The MOEA then called for IPP projects in January 1995, August 1995, and January 1999, respectively. So far, eight IPP projects with a total capacity of 7,220 MW have begun operation or are under construction. -33-

o The energy policy in Taiwan aims at sustainable development through the integration of the 3E (economic development, environmental protection, and energy security). o Our priorities are to promote energy conservation, energy efficiency, and open market, thereby strengthening our international competitiveness. o We welcome international energy cooperation to achieve these common goals.
