Taiwan's Ministry of Economic Affairs Enhances Green Energy Sandbox Initiative for Greater Flexibility
The Ministry of Economic Affairs (MOEA) is reviewing and refining the Green Energy Sandbox Plan, according to the Energy Administration. Domestic corporate users, particularly those focused on exports, have a high demand for green energy (such as RE100), and advanced manufacturing processes require a higher percentage of green energy. In response, the MOEA has upgraded the 2023 "Flexible Green Energy Allocation" sandbox plan, allowing users to purchase green energy in smaller increments, rather than buying the entire output of a green energy plant. This ensures that green energy is distributed to the facilities and processes most in need of higher green energy ratios.
