Recently Premier Liu Chao-hsuan announced the government would promote an energy policy to develop energy technologies.

It’s reported that the government would encourage changing the remaining 460,000 incandescent traffic lights islandwide to LED types, replacing all the incandescent lamps at government organizations with compact fluorescent lamps, and install solar hot water panels in 140,000 residences over the next four years. The government is estimated to spend NT$1-2 billion on LED traffic-light investments.
 
Besides，the government estimated around 22 million incandescent lamps were still at service in government organizations, households and private corporations throughout the island. Once these lamps are replaced by energy-saving lamps, NT$4 billion (US$133 million) in revenue will be added to efficiency lighting-fixture industry.
