In response to intense public pressure, in November 2003 TaiPower announced rules for purchasing electricity generated from renewables, and set the price at NT $ 2 per kWh. But this price will be reduced if the total installed capacity of eligible generating equipment exceeds 300 MW; and once TaiPower is privatized and no longer burdened with mission of promoting government policies, it may scrap the scheme altogether.
去年十一月台電公司也在眾人千呼萬喚中，公布了一份「再生能源電能收購作業要點」，收購價明訂為每度二元，但收購總裝置容量達到三十萬 r 時即降價收購，而且一旦台電完成民營化、不再擔負政策使命後，收購案也將隨之叫停。
