power company this year, which will focus on the trading of locally-produced green energy, the county magistrate said on Sunday.
Apart from the planned company, the county will also seek a permit from the central government to engage in carbon emissions trading, Wei Ming-ku (魏明谷) said as he reported his administration’s policies during a New Year celebration at county hall.
Wei addressed the efforts made by the county government to exploit green energy in the form of wind and solar power in 2016.
As a result of this work, Changhua County Government signed deals with four foreign companies to build wind farms and wind-generating power plants in offshore areas of the county, Wei said. [FULL STORY]
