Ministry aims to quadruple total green electricity mixBy Lisa Wang / Staff reporterThe Ministry of Economic Affairs aims to quadruple the nation’s share of electricity from renewable sources to 90 billion kilowatt-hours (kWh) by 2030, it said yesterday, as a growing number of local enterprises set goals to achieve carbon neutrality. The world’s biggest contract chipmaker joined the global corporate renewable energy initiative RE100 in 2020, committing to use only electricity from renewable sources by 2050. Only 10 percent of the electricity available for local businesses is sourced from renewable energy, he said. The chipmaker purchased 900 million kWh of electricity from renewable sources last year, Liu said. About 120 companies sourced 2.55 billion kWh of renewable energy last year, it said.
