再生能源發展條例三讀 電價將漲！

更新日期:2009/06/12 20:18 特約記者高玉如報導

各界千呼萬喚卻始終難產的「再生能源發展條例」，經歷多番折衝，終在今(12)日立法院會三讀通過。未來經濟部獎勵再生能源發電設備總量，為總裝置容量650萬瓩至1,000萬瓩，再生能源發電業得申請各項補貼；再生能源「躉購費率」，由「費率審議委員會」審定，但不得低於台電石化燃料發電成本；台電並可將繳交基金費用成本，轉嫁至電價中。
民主進步黨籍立法委員潘孟安表示，立法通過後，將帶動台灣綠能產業發展；再生能源獎勵發電量為650萬千瓦至1,000萬千瓦，足可供應目前全台1/3以上用電需求，更可順勢取代核能、符合世界非核發電潮流。
黨籍立委田秋堇表示，台灣高度依賴進口能源，而石油能源只能再供應40年，天然氣用60年，鈾礦也只能再用70年，煤礦雖可再用200年，但其產地集中在中國；對台灣人民而言，及早發展再生能源做為替代能源，才有保障。
條文明定再生能源包括太陽能、生質能、地熱能、海洋能、風力、非抽蓄式水力（水庫或水壩）及廢棄物利用或經處理產生之能源；換言之，垃圾焚化過程產生的熱能，亦屬再生能源之一，其熱利用技術亦在獎補助範圍。
非再生能源發電達一定裝置容量以上，須繳交一定金額充作基金；用作再生能源電價、設備補貼、示範補助及推廣利用。電業可將該金額費用，附加於其售電價格上；換言之，條例通過後台電可報經同意調高電價，據了解將在1％至3％之間。
對此，能源局長葉惠青表示，目前就基金規模、電業或政府預算應撥充金額都未討論定案，因此暫無法推算電價調整幅度；至於條文規定再生能源躉購費率不得低於電業化石燃料發電成本，則係出於為廠商設定合理利潤，獎勵以再生能源取代化石燃料發電的用意。
除再生能源發電獎勵外，經濟部亦須針對再生能源熱利用，依能源貢獻度效益訂定獎勵補助辦法，其中利用休耕地或閒置農林牧地栽種能源作物，將由農發基金提供補助；但農委會主委陳武雄，曾表態反對栽種生質能源作物。

Taiwan Legislature passes renewable energy development law
2009-06-12 08:03 PM


TAIPEI (Taiwan News) – The Legislative Yuan today passed renewable energy development statute in its third reading, encouraging power producers with maximum power generation capacity between 6.5 million and 10 million kilowatts to apply for subsidies.
A hearing for the wholesale purchase rate of renewable energy should be held in the first year when the statute takes effect, according to the law.
The proposal of the Executive Yuan pointed out that in the wake of rise of international oil price, and Taiwan’s heavy dependence on imported energy, the development of renewable energy to cut emission of greenhouse gases demands immediate attention.
With renewable energy power production capacity from 6.5 million to 10 million kilowatts, power producers may apply for tariff exemption, tariff payment installment, and various subsidies, according to the statute.
Power producers and owners of self-use power appliance should pay for an annual fee to the renewable energy development funds for power generation other than from renewable energy, said the statute.
Ruling Kuomingtang Lawmaker Chang Shuo-wen said the passage of the statute will encourage the investment in renewable energy by power producers currently contributing to carbon dioxide emission.
Opposition Democratic Progressive Party Lawmaker Pan Meng-an told a press conference after the passage of the statute that green energy industry will be one of the pioneering sectors in Taiwan. He hoped the new law can drive up the development of the sector in Taiwan and vowed that the DPP legislative caucus would supervise the execution of the measures.
DPP Legislator Tien Chiou-jin urged the government to elevate the proportion of renewable energy power generation to ensure national energy safety while it only accounts for 8 percent by 2025, according to the plan of the Executive Yuan.
