More recently the Energy Committee asked Dr. Chu and Chen Bin-kwie, a colleague of his at the Tatung Institute, to evaluate the potential for cogeneration on Taiwan. They found that there is already installed on the island 580,000 watts of cogeneration capacity and that if the government actively promotes it then, at a conservative estimate, another 1.66 million watts can be added by 1994, nearly the capacity of two nuclear generators.
最近經濟部能委會委託大同工學院電機系副教授朱文成和陳斌魁，評估台灣裝設汽電共生設備的潛力發現，台灣已有汽電共生容量五十八萬千瓦。如果政府積極推動，最保守的估計，到民國八十三年，還可以再增加一百六十六萬千瓦，接近兩部核能發電機組的發電量，亦即一座核四廠的總電量。
