Application of German energy transition in Taiwan: A critical review of unique electricity liberalisation as a core strategy to achieve renewable energy growth

The finding is that ambitious RE promotion schemes should remain at the core of energy transitions, while the liberalisation of electricity could play a supplementary role in an interconnected continental energy system to mitigate intermittency, which is one of the weaknesses of RE. Permitting expensive RE to be sold directly at the low market price of electricity would fail to give impetus to further RE development.
