“The draft is now in the regulatory process and should be announced officially very soon,” an industry source said.
The proposed rate for projects signing 20-year PPAs in 2021 is NT$4656.8 (€135.6) a megawatt-hour (MWh), down from NT$5094.6/MWh in 2020.
Projects also have a “ladder” option of NT$5306.4/MWh for the first 10 years and NT$3520.6/MWh for the second 10 years, down from NT$5801.5/MWh and NT$3822.7/MWh in 2020.
The government lowered 2020 rates by around 8% compared with 2019.
