The Ministry of Economic Affairs (hereinafter, the “MOEA”) of Taiwan promulgated the Amendments to the Regulations for the Management of Setting Up Renewable Energy Power Generation Equipment of Power Users Above a Certain Contract Capacity (commonly known as the “Large Electricity User Provisions”) via the Jing-Neng-11258024060 Directive of October 17, 2023 to revise the definition of energy storage equipment and specifically stipulate that the electrical energy stored in energy storage equipment shall be used by compulsory user of renewable energy, including the energy storage demand response measures for compulsory user of renewable energy that participate in energy storage demand response programs of the electricity retailing utility enterprise.
Renewable energy obligations of large electricity users
The Large Electricity User Provisions are regulations formulated by the MOEA pursuant to the mandate under Article 12, Paragraph 4 of the Renewable Energy Development Act, which stipulates the renewable energy obligations assumed by large electricity users under the Act. Electricity users who sign an electricity contract with a capacity of 5,000 kilowatts or more are obligated renewable energy users and should fulfill their obligations by choosing one or a combination of the following three methods, or paying a monetary substitution:
1. For the installation of renewable energy power generation equipment, the power generation amount must reach 10% of the electricity contract capacity.
2. For the purchase of renewable energy electricity and certificates, the annual purchase amount is calculated by multiplying the electricity contract capacity by 10% and the electricity sold each year in kilowatts for the selected renewable energy category (solar photovoltaic, wind power, small hydropower, biomass power generation, waste-to-power generation, and geothermal energy).
3. For the installation of energy storage equipment, the energy storage capacity is calculated by multiplying the electricity contract capacity by 10% and the minimum power supply time, which is 2 hours.

Rome-Taipei, July 23rd, 2020 – Enel X, the Enel Group''s advanced energy services business line, has joined the Taiwan Power Company (TPC)''s demand response program aimed at supporting the country''s electricity grid. Enel X, whose local offices are based in Taipei, has partnered with a diverse group of demand response customers including cold storage, food processing, manufacturing, and industrial facilities. These businesses will participate in Enel X''s virtual power plant, which now offers its demand flexibility services to TPC, helping to keep the country''s electricity grid stable and secure.
Francesco Venturini, CEO of Enel X, said: "We are offering a new category of opportunity for Taiwanese businesses. By joining our virtual power plant, businesses can now earn a new revenue stream while providing critical support to the electricity grid. Further, virtual power plants and energy storage systems will be key to Taiwan''s long-term transition to renewable power."
Delta Electronics, Inc., a major, global player in power and thermal management solutions, is one of the major businesses working with Enel X. Steven Liu, Sr. Vice President of Delta Electronics, Inc. said: "We place a strong focus on intelligent energy use and sustainability initiatives. Through our alliance with Enel X, we can support the nation''s electricity grid while meeting our sustainability objectives. We are able to participate using our battery energy storage system (BESS). When there is a grid need, we can switch from grid energy use to our BESS without any impact to our operations."
Enel X is well-positioned to support the growth of Taiwan''s promising demand response market, leveraging on the company''s worldwide demand response leadership, with over 7.4 GW of capacity under management.
Participants in demand response programs are paid to modulate their consumption in response to grid needs. Specifically, these programs are intended to encourage end users to adjust their power consumption in order to facilitate the stabilization of the grid when requested by the system. Therefore, demand response programs ensure greater grid flexibility enabling a more efficient use of the energy infrastructure, which helps to guarantee power quality and grid security as well as to contain electricity prices, while contributing to global decarbonization.
Taipei, July 20th, 2022 – One of the world''s 50 Most Influential Tall Buildings1, Taipei 101, has signed a deal with Enel X, a leading virtual power plant (VPP) and demand response service provider, to support Taiwan''s energy transition. Enel X will integrate Taipei 101''s energy load into its VPP to offer critical electricity grid services to Taiwan Power Company''s (TPC) Energy Trading Platform, to balance electricity supply with demand, and facilitate the uptake of renewable generation.
Taiwan''s peak electricity load reached a historical high in June of almost 40 million kW, and there is a forecasted increase in electricity consumption throughout summer. Businesses can help by innovating how they use energy to support the grid, which in turn allows them to meet sustainability objectives, increase operational resilience, and earn a new revenue stream. Participating businesses are paid to reduce their energy demand during times of grid stress. Enel X is one of the world''s largest global VPP operators, with 6.6 GW of flexible load under management, and has been operating in Taiwan since 2016.

2 National Development Council, ''Taiwan''s Pathway to Net-Zero Emissions in 2050'', March 30, 2022.
The Ministry of Economic Affairs yesterday called on the private sector to find solutions to energy storage problems as part of the government''s initiative to develop renewable energy.
Speaking at a news conference announcing the Energy Taiwan forum, Deputy Minister of Economic Affairs Tseng Wen-sheng () said that one way companies can participate in the adoption of renewable energy is by providing operating reserve to the national grid.
As Taiwan becomes increasingly reliant on renewable energy, energy storage solutions are needed to ensure a stable power supply. State-owned Taiwan Power Co (Taipower, ) keeps an operating reserve of 10 percent, mostly by keeping its fossil-fuel power plants on standby.
