The promotion of renewable energy should be based on the sustainability of rural development.

Updated: Aug 28


A summary of the article posted by Dr. Jia-Ling Shen & Dr. Hsing-Sheng Tai of CIRES on Environmental Information Center.


The article points out the controversies and challenges caused by renewable energy development in rural areas in Taiwan. Although the development of renewable energy is important, it may have a negative impact on land use, industrial development and the ecological environment in rural areas. However, rural areas should not only bear the cost of renewable energy development, but should become the main beneficiaries of common benefits.


It is recommended that rural issues be included in energy transition discussions and integrated development plans be proposed to promote the joint progress of sustainable rural development and renewable energy development. Finally, it highlights the need for political determination and leadership to drive integration to occur and achieve rural shared net zero policy governance outcomes.
