Taipei, Feb. 23 (CNA) The Ministry of Economic Affairs (MOEA) announced Friday a project to encourage households in Taiwan to install solar panels on the roofs of their homes.

Under the new measures, local governments will work with private sector firms which will organize households in designated areas and build solar panels for them in a bid to reach a fixed level of power production under the supervision of the ministry.

The MOEA said the project has designated three sizes for solar panel installation: 10-50 MW for several administrative districts in a single city or county, 1-10 MW for a single administrative district in a city or a county, and 0.5-1 MW for a township.

The minimum paid-in capital for operators interested in the power generation projects will be NT$300 million, NT$30 million and NT$10 million, respectively, to ensure programs run smoothly, the ministry added.    [FULL  STORY]
