Abstract:
Pingtung County, the southernmost county of Taiwan, was hit by typhoon Morakot in 2009 which caused severe flooding in coastal areas and affected agricultural developments. Pingtung County has taken the lead in Taiwan in promoting photovoltaic industries to set PV panels on abandoned fishery ponds since its daily average insolation is 4.5hr. The “Aqua Solar Farm” project improves the livelihood of fishermen, reserving underground water to restore terrain and awakening the consciousness of energy transformation in Taiwan. After engaging the project “100% Renewable Cities and Regional Network” organized by ICLEI in 2016, Pingtung aims for the goal of achieving domestic electricity 100% provided by green power through the strategies of “Multi-field Development of Green Power” and “Multiple Utilization of Lands or Official Buildings with Solar PV,” installing Solar PV system on public buildings and agricultural facilities and reducing odor from livestock manure by turning biogas into renewable energy. Other solar PV projects have also been implemented based on local conditions without affecting the original facilities’ functions (PV systems on dikes and PV covered court at schools.) Recently, the projects "Severe Subsidence Area for Solar PV" and “Abandoned Lands due to Illegal Gravel Mining for Solar PV" have simultaneously been implemented on non-arable lands. In the progress of achieving the goal of 100% green power for 288,000 households by the end of 2022, the amount of renewable energy installed capacity has reached approximately 726 MW, which is sufficient for half of the population in Pingtung County.
