The Study of Utilty Green Power Pricing Programs

Green Power is the energy produced from renewable power. Internationally, the sales of green power, which are different from regular merchandise of power, are viewed as a market mechanism based on voluntarily-purchased-by-users. The system of green power, one of the nation¡¦s policies of renewable energy, is also an efficient means to increase the percentage of generating power by renewable energy. To differentiate green power from regular power, the price of green power will be higher in advanced countries in order to establish the market mechanism based on voluntarily-purchased-by-users. The money received by green power is mainly used to develop renewable energy, to depreciate high costs of renewable energy constructions and to provide the opportunities for the public to involve in environmental protection and enhance their awareness of environmental protection.
Several countries, such as the US, Canada, European Union (EU), Australia and Japan have the sales system of the green power. In 2005, Shanghai, China also started such a system. In Taiwan, the Act of Renewable Energy Development, which is highly critical to the energy development of the country, has been passed on June 12, 2009 in the Legislative Yuan. The thesis has analyzed several foreign green power cases and gleaned experiences from their system. Combined with the circumstances, including the project of renewable power development and the source and the productivity of green power, the thesis has tried to build a green power system suitable for the country. The thesis also used different methods to develop pricing of green power.
The thesis has combined today¡¦s circumstances and experiences learned from foreign cases to provide a suitable system of sales and pricing of green power under the legal restrictions in Taiwan.
