| dc.description.abstract | Faced with high oil prices, energy crisis, nuclear safety concerns, greenhouse effect and global warming, the importance of green energy is getting more and more attention and it also drives the rapid growth of green energy. Green energy becomes the most important new energy in the world. In order to move towards the goal of nuclear-free homeland in 2025, the government actively promotes new energy policies and initiates energy transformation. However, in the development of different industries, due to fierce competition, many system operators face unprofitable or high-risk situations.
In order to understand the business model of the renewable energy industry, this research is based on the research of the system operators of offshore wind power and solar energy industry. This study takes Osterwalder et al (2010) business model canvas as a framework to analyze Taiwan′s offshore wind power industry and solar energy industry development mode of operation. Major findings are:
1.External key partners work together to share development costs and risks
As far as offshore wind power is concerned, due to the high technical complexity, the requirements for product quality are also stricter than those for land wind power. System operators must think about how to work with externally appropriate strategic partners or alliances to share development costs and risks.
2.Picking up the charging rate of the purchase rate and signing the profit model of the long-term power supply contract
The source of profit from solar power and offshore wind power is responsible for the construction of power generation system, repair, and subsequent operation and maintenance. It can be sold to Taipower in accordance with the contract signed with Taipower within 20 years and at the purchase rate announced by the Ministry of Economic Affairs. In the case of solar energy industry, the owner of the building only needs to rent the building to the solar energy industry, and can collect the rent and share the profit from the sale of electricity.
3.Environmental assessment impacts on the development of offshore wind power. The government should establish an integrated information platform
As far as the offshore wind power industry is concerned, due to the offshore wind farm preparation process, developers must face environmental and social considerations such as the construction and operation of offshore wind power. The government should assist system integrators to jointly develop offshore wind farm related technologies. At the same time, the government should also collect information on environmental intelligence from offshore wind power development, including fisheries, shipping, migratory birds and marine ecosystems in response to stakeholder organizations. | en_US |
