To underscore the government's determination to realize its energy conservation and carbon reduction policies, Premier Liu Chao-shiuan announced that this year will mark the launch of the Renewable Energy Development Act (REDA). The act's objectives include providing for a renewable energy procurement mechanism, establishing market prices, and clearing away obstacles to development, so that Taiwan can be ranked among the advanced countries around the globe in terms of renewable energy.
為宣示政府落實節能減碳政策的決心，行政院長劉兆玄宣布，今年是「再生能源發展條例啟動元年」，希望能在今年完成立法，透過法制建立再生能源收購機制、確立市場價格及排除發展障礙，讓台灣進入全球再生能源「已開發國家」之林。
