The Truth behind the “Green Effect”
The Imported wind turbines break down from time to time because of the
local environment --> high O&M cost , low availability

Why Localization ?
We learn from onshore wind energy development……
 To the power company
• Unable to meet the local environmental demand
• Longer lead time of repair piece, and higher maintenance fee
• Decrease the annual electricity production
• Decrease the annual power sales revenue
 To people/component suppliers in Taiwan
• Difficult to get involved in wind energy industry
 To the whole society
• No chance for traditional industry to make the transition
• No direction in the academic research
• Reduce the green-collar employment opportunity
• Increase the carbon footprint of energy supply
