“…Taiwanese companies appear among the world's leading solar PV cell manufacturers, as well as among the leading polysilicon manufacturers (Tables 11-4 and 11 -2, respectively). This is due in part to the government's prioritization of solar power through the applicable FIT, which reflects Taiwan's strong foundation in semiconductor production (Lin, 2014). Other environmental industries have grown in Taiwan, but face difficulties in enhancing their international competitiveness due to constraints in the domestic and international markets (Chapter 6 in this volume).…”

As mentioned in this book's introduction, Northeast Asian countries have been framing green growth and low-carbon development as a green industrial policy that is compatible with conventional export-led industrialization, with a special focus on renewable energy. Through this framing, they have hoped to garner multiple benefits: developing leading manufacturers in prominent industries around the world; increasing green jobs; enhancing the international competitiveness of their industries; reducing carbon emissions; and enhancing their energy security. This chapter summarizes the findings of the previous chapters and evaluates the Northeast Asian countries' achievements and remaining challenges, with a special focus on energy and trade. Then it explores how green growth, low-carbon development strategies can be applied beyond Northeast Asia.

“…In general, previous studies have been done on feed-in tariffs in Taiwan from different viewpoints, including policy [17][18][19][20][21][22], economy [23], financial assessment [24], and investors [25]. The purpose of this paper is to examine the investability of PV systems in Taiwan when subsidies and investment costs descend.…”

The Taiwanese government has set an energy transition roadmap of 20% renewable energy supply by 2025, including a 20 GW installed PV capacity target, composed of 8 GW rooftop and 12 GW ground-mounted systems. The main trend of feed-in tariffs is downwards, having fallen by 50% over a ten-year period. Predicting the future ten-year equity internal rate of return (IRR) in this study, we examine the investability of PV systems in Taiwan when subsidies and investment costs descend. We have found that the projected subsidies scheme favours investment in small-sized PV systems. Unless the investment costs of medium-sized PV systems fall or subsidies rise over the next decade, investing in medium-sized PV systems will be less attractive. Nonlinear and linear degradation causes slight IRR differences when using higher-reliability modules.
