Posted on 2024-08-09 07:05:13
Climate change and growing industrial needs were on the agenda as the National Climate Change Response Committee held it first meeting.
Tai-Power Chairman Tseng Wen-sheng -- who was one of two presenters at the meeting -- touted his company's move to cut the amount of emissions produced by Taipower from 0.554 for every kilowatt hour of power, to 0.494 in 2023.
Tseng also said he expects this rate to go down further to 0.3 by 2035.
The Tai-Power chairman also stressed that the state generator has improved in maintaining a stable power supply... he said the number of days the Percent Operating Reserve was at less than 6-per cent has dropped from 104 in 2017... to between zero and 17 days annually between 2020 and 2023.
That improvement was credited to Tai-Powe's move to boost renewable energy supplies and the number of gas-fired generators.
The National Climate Change Response Committee is one of three set up by President Lai Ching-te in June to help implement his policies.
The others are the Whole-of-Society Defense Resilience Committee and the Healthy Taiwan Promotion Committee.
