MOEA States Taiya Renewable Energy's Onshore Wind Projects Require Local Consensus Before Approval
Recent media reports noted that Taiya Renewable Energy is planning to develop three onshore wind farms along Taiwan's east coast. The projects have raised local concerns during the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) opinion-collection stage, particularly regarding landscape, noise, and ecologically sensitive areas. The Ministry of Economic Affairs (MOEA) emphasized that the establishment of onshore wind farms will be strictly regulated in accordance with the law. The MOEA made clear that Taiya Renewable Energy's development proposals will not be approved unless consensus with local communities is reached and environmental impacts, especially those concerning ecology are fully clarified.

Inter-Ministerial Effort to Strengthen Mechanisms for Balanced Development of Fishery-Electricity Symbiosis and Renewable Energy

Inter-Ministerial Effort to Strengthen Mechanisms for Balanced Development of Fishery-Electricity Symbiosis and Renewable Energy
The Energy Administration under MOEA (MOEAEA), responded to recent media reports alleging "solar power without fish" in fishery-electricity symbiosis projects. The MOEAEA emphasized that the policy is advanced under the principle of "aquaculture first, with renewable energy as added value." If inspections reveal poor aquaculture practices, the Fisheries Agency will work with local governments to guide project operators in ensuring proper aquaculture operations; if no improvement is made, installation permits will be revoked. The MOEAEA has also strengthened inter-ministerial mechanisms: indoor projects must first obtain renewable energy approval, while outdoor projects are required to submit proof of aquaculture operations before being allowed grid connection or an electricity license, ensuring that aquaculture and renewable energy development progress in parallel.
