The Council of Agriculture strictly guarded against photoelectric land grabbing, and solar energy operators denounced Chen Jizhong as "unapproachable" and called for the release of agricultural, forestry, fishery and animal husbandry land to facilitate de

524 sharing

On July 7, the Council of Agriculture announced that it would amend the "main points for the examination of the Agricultural Land use change agreed by the Agricultural authorities". The examination of the cases of optoelectronic development and use of agricultural land will be tightened, and the future alteration of more than 2 hectares of agricultural land will be examined by the central government. For those less than 2 hectares, except for "sporadic agricultural land surrounded by other land", it can be changed with the consent of the local government, and the rest of the agricultural land will not be agreed to.

The sudden policy revision of the Council of Agriculture was regarded as the protection of agricultural land, the production of farmers and fishermen, and the progress of the ecological environment, but it was described by the optoelectronics industry as the "July 7th incident." Today (7max 13) held public hearings at legislators Hong Shenhan and Zhou Chunmi, inviting industry government schools and non-governmental organizations all over the country to attend to debate the "necessity of optoelectronic development for agricultural land."

Chen Jizhong, chairman of the Council of Agriculture, said that the proportion of roof types should be reconsidered, rather than inciting the release of sensitive farmland, triggering social criticism of green energy and casting a negative shadow on the overall energy transformation policy. Hong Chuanxian, chairman of the Solar Photovoltaic Industry Association, criticized the Council of Agriculture for "departmentalism," arguing that afforestation land and fallow land should be released for photovoltaic power generation. The ring delegation asked the Ministry of Economic Affairs to launch a "ring society inspection" method as soon as possible, but Zeng Wensheng, vice minister of the Ministry of Economic Affairs, did not respond clearly.

Chen Jizhong, chairman of the Council of Agriculture, said that "the position of the Council of Agriculture is in line with the development of green energy," but he also said that the promotion process of green energy does not mean that it depends entirely on solar photovoltaics. The agricultural sector has other biogas power generation and rooftop power generation systems of animal husbandry to rely on. He stressed that "if we jump away from the position of the Council of Agriculture," the development of green energy should not tend to rely on land-based solar photovoltaic panels. This issue is worth discussing.

Chen believes that the current goal of 2025: roof-type 6GW ground-type 14GW, this proportion needs to be reconsidered. He also asked: "Why not the roof 14GW?" The roof of our livestock farm has been nearly 1GW, and there are a total of more than 15000 livestock farms. We have used the stupidest way to ask one by one, and the collection yard has also asked. Inventory shows that the roof type of the Council of Agriculture can contribute 4GW. There are so many roofs in Taiwan, but the roofs of the agricultural sector are the least. "

The agricultural sector accounts for only 1.15% of electricity consumption, but it is given a significant responsibility for power generation, accounting for 33% of renewable energy power generation. (information provided / Council of Agriculture)

In fact, according to the data of the Council of Agriculture, the agricultural sector accounted for only 1.15% of electricity consumption in 108 years, but in 4150MW, where renewable energy has been built, the agricultural sector contributed 33% of 1361MW. Chen believes that it is necessary to increase the goal of roofing in order to slow down the pressure on the release of farmland and food self-sufficiency.

Chen believes that several consecutive disputes over optoelectronic development of agricultural land, cutting down trees, planting electricity, and symbiosis of fishing and electricity have been greatly reprinted on the Internet, which has led to the stigmatization of the green energy policy, and the Council of Agriculture has the responsibility to defend the green energy policy before it will step forward to amend the relevant regulations. He also repeatedly stressed that only under the three prerequisites of the rights and interests of farmers and fishermen, agricultural production and the safety of the ecological environment can farmland be released in line with the green energy policy.

Zeng Wensheng, vice minister of the Ministry of Economic Affairs, pointed out that the current controversy is, "does green energy have to use so many flat photovoltaic devices?" He believes that many problems in Taiwan lie in the chaotic use of land, resulting in poor public perception. For example, "agricultural land looks like an industrial area, but there is no industrial area," which is the main source of controversy in flat-land optoelectronic development.

In order to resolve the dispute, the Ministry of Economic Affairs also proposed a "ring society inspection" mechanism, hoping to promote the coexistence and co-prosperity of solar photovoltaics and land production. He also pointed out that index enterprises (TSMC) have pre-purchased offshore wind power five years later, which is an important message. represents the trend of future industry and green energy demand.

In response to the industry's request for the release of land, Zeng Wensheng did not respond directly, but only stressed that reducing carbon emissions and pollution in Taiwan is a global urgent environmental challenge. In order to solve the dilemma between land demand and land use for the development of green energy, we look forward to seeking the coexistence and co-prosperity of optoelectronics and land production through the environmental inspection system.

Vice Secretary of the Ministry of Economic Affairs Zeng Wensheng (Photography / Lin Jiyang) Optoelectronics Industry: the level of energy policy is insufficient and hopes to be promoted to the Executive Yuan

Tsai Tsung-jung, chairman of the Solar Photovoltaic system Business Association, advocated that "the ministry should fully communicate with the industry and be approachable before formulating a new policy." he secretly criticized Chen Jizhong for ignoring the interests of the optoelectronic industry. Tsai stressed that the biggest risk for the industry to participate in solar photovoltaics is "policy uncertainty." he believes that the level of the Energy Bureau is insufficient to coordinate with various ministries, and that energy policy should be upgraded to the Executive Yuan.

He takes epidemic prevention as an example. Because of the centralization of authority and full authorization, he can successfully fight the epidemic. He believes that "in order to promote the optoelectronic industry, there must be a role of Chen Shizhong."

Hong Chuanxian, chairman of the Sun Optoelectronic Industry Association, directed Chen's "departmentalism", saying that Chen Jizhong's statement was "to support the policy, but not to touch mine." then the green energy policy has been defeated before it has been done. He also advocated that afforestation land and fallow land should be released for photovoltaic power generation. He points out that in the past, the slogan of green energy industry was "Xiao Ying can support green energy, green energy can support Xiao Ying", but now he believes that "the country does not seem to be ready."
