The largest PV module production plant in Taiwan was completed

Taiwan Solar Energy Corporation (TSEC) completed Taiwan's largest PV module production plant on April 30 and successfully produced its first raw modules
on May 1.

The largest PV module production plant in Taiwan was completed

In general, the production plant is located in Taixing Industrial Zone, Pingtung County, southern Taiwan, and is being built
in two phases.
The first 1 GW plant and a 500 MW production line in the first phase have been completed
.
A TSEC spokesman said a second 500-megawatt production line
would be added within a year.

Overall, TSEC aims to add another 1 GW of capacity
by 2020.
The project has invested 50 million US dollars
.

The spokesperson added that the production plant will manufacture mainstream grid-connected components, including 60- and 72-cell battery modules
.

TSEC said: "Due to the large number of orders from local demand, we will mainly ship to local projects
in 2018.
If there is any overseas demand, we will gradually expand the export
through certification.
There is no problem
with selling well abroad.
”

In November 2016, TSEC announced plans to build a 1 GW production facility and increase annual solar cell manufacturing capacity by 450 MW
.
At that time, the company's annual battery production capacity reached 1.
5 GW
.

Taiwan's authorities aim to have renewable energy account for 20% of total electricity generation by 2025, including an ambitious target
of 20 GW of installed PV capacity.

According to data from Bloomberg New Energy Finance, Taiwan's new photovoltaic power generation in 2017 was only 400 MW, up from 251 MW
in 2016.
International renewable?? The Energy Agency estimates that by the end of 2017, the total installed renewable energy capacity in Taiwan was 4.
9 GW, of which only 1.
7 GW of solar PV
