Taiwan Environmental Protection Agency: Replacing Energy-saving Streetlights NT$60 billion annually

Shen Shihong, Director-General of Taiwan's Executive Yuan, attended the opening ceremony of the "Private Country Forum" yesterday (24th), pointing out that the low-carbon sustainable home project should be promoted. Taipower should be responsible for replacing the street lights in townships and towns with energy-efficient light bulbs, which can be saved annually. More than 600 billion yuan (NTD, the same below), about 15 billion yuan in the cost of generating fuel, equal to the cost of building a new power plant.

Shen Shihong said that within ten years, the city of Taiwan should be built into four low-carbon life circles, and more than three hundred townships and cities should move together. At the end of 2011, it started to promote low-carbon sustainable home projects and established a low-carbon sustainable certification system. The EPA established 50 advisory groups. Each group includes experts in the profession and industry, and helped more than 300 townships and towns to find action plans; In addition, 164 action items have been proposed, including the replacement of energy-efficient light bulbs.

Ceramic complex metal lamp maintenance costs lower than LED lights Shen Shihong said that energy-efficient light bulb refers to the "ceramic complex metal lamp", traditional street lamps use four hundred watt bulbs, the same illumination used after testing, 120 watt LED lights will The problem of light failure, and the maintenance cost of street lamps is quite high; at present, the Energy Bureau recommends replacing the light failure with a one-hundred and fifty-watt LED Lamp , which is the same as the energy saving efficiency of “ceramic complex metal lamps”, which is sixty percent.” "Ceramic complex metal lamp" lower maintenance costs.

Shen Shihong said that the township office needs to replace the bulbs of street lamps with energy-efficient bulbs. It should be replaced by Taipower. The front desk will only collect fees and charges from the township offices. It is almost losing money after subsidizing and switching to energy-saving bulbs. It can save more than six hundred billion yuan in fuel costs for electricity generation, which is equivalent to a power plant. Saving money can increase and encourage industrial development and create job opportunities. This is the green economy.

The Xike Road in front of the Tainan City Government had tried ceramic composite metal lamps two or three years ago and was provided by the manufacturer free of charge. The brightness and color rendering were good. However, at the time, each group of lamps cost about 20,000 yuan, and the cost of the purchase and the power saving The proportion is not worthwhile. There is only one production and there is no comparable price. When the central government subsidized the LED energy-saving lamps in 2011, it had all been replaced.

Taiwan Energy Director Ou Jiarui said that the LED road lighting energy-saving aid program has long been launched, and there are several stages of city and city-level promotion, under the proposal of the EPA, will modify the subsidy plan, in the future as long as the relevant energy-saving lighting standards, whether or not LED All can apply for subsidies, and the related subsidy budget totals more than 2 billion yuan.

Taipower: It is extremely difficult to pay for all orders. Taipower stated that under the instruction of the Ministry of Economic Affairs, Taipower is responsible for the replacement projects for the three cities of Keelung City, Hsinchu City, and Chiayi City in the LED street lamp demonstration city plan, but if energy-saving lighting is fully paid by Taipower, There is great difficulty in fear; however, as long as the government budgets, Taipower will certainly implement it.
