Taiwan's Ministry of Economic Affairs (MOEA) has announced final feed-in tariff rates for generation of renewable energy in 2022, with rates for PV power generation ranging from NT$3.8680(US$0.139)/kWh to NT$5.8952/kWh.

For PV power generation of all types, there is a charge of NT$0.0656/kWh for recycling retired or damaged PV modules in a bid to establish a PV module recycling system, MOEA indicated.

In particular, PV power-generating stations or rooftop PV systems consisting of locally produced high-efficiency PV modules (certified by MOEA) will be entitled for an approximately 6% markup in the corresponding feed-in tariff rates.
