Seven local leaders sign petition demanding cut to coal-fired power generation (2019/12/03)
Taichung Mayor Lu Shiow-yen invited the heads of neighboring cities and counties to a news conference demanding action on clean air. The seven leaders signed a petition saying the central government should respect local regulations on coal-fired power generation. They also urged the central government to “face up” to the problem of air pollution and to accelerate the development of green energy.
The heads of seven cities and counties met in Taichung to sign a petition asking the central government to cut coal use at Taichung Power Plant.
Changhua Mayor Wang Hui-mei said her county generated ample solar and wind power. She said there was no need for the Taichung plant’s current power output.

Changhua mayor
There’s already been such growth in our green energy development. Is it really necessary to run all 10 coal-fired units?
Taichung Mayor Lu said the Taichung plant already had 10 coal-fired generation units and yet Taipower had decided to add two more units powered by gas. She said Taipower was not considering the health of the people of Central Taiwan.

Taichung mayor
The central government ignored the opposition of the residents and rammed through the environmental impact assessments for two more units at the plant. None of the preexisting generators are to be dismantled.
According to Taichung’s newest coal control regulations, coal use at the Taichung plant is limited to 11.04 metric tons between January 2019 and 2020. This month, the Environmental Protection Administration asked for a 10% increase to the cap. Mayor Lu turned down the request.

Taichung mayor
Put it another way. They want Taichung Power Plant to burn at least 1 million more metric tons of coal.
Coal use since January 2019 has already exceeded the city’s limit. Lu’s administration has written a fine of NT$3 million and demanded improvement within 10 days, followed by the cancellation of operating permits if necessary.

七縣市首長簽署抗空污 要求中火減煤
台中市長盧秀燕，今天上午邀集彰化縣、南投縣、苗栗縣、新竹縣、雲林縣及嘉義市等七個縣市首長，舉行"空汙治理會報"，共同簽署聲明，要求中央減少中火生煤發電量，台中市政府並且依照"管制生煤自治條例"，對中火開罰300萬，並要求10天改善，後續如果沒有確實改善，不排除撤銷1到2張的許可證。
七縣市首長齊聚台中市，一起簽署聲明書，要求中央減少中火生煤發電量。
彰化縣長王惠美表示，彰化的太陽能能和風力發電量相當多，根本不需要這麼多的燃煤發電。

“我們的綠能發展，就已經多了這麼多，有必要十部火力全開嗎”
台中市長盧秀燕痛批，中火有十部燃煤機組，台電卻還要增加兩部燃汽機組，根本不把中部人的健康，放在眼裡。
[[台中市長 盧秀燕]]
“中央不顧地方民意的反對，強行在環評通過，要在中火增加兩部機組，而舊的機組一部都不拆.”
依據1月底通過的台中市的生煤管制條例，中火一年的燃煤量不能超過1104萬公噸，但上個月11日，環保署卻要求能放寬10％，盧秀燕不能接受。
[[台中市長 盧秀燕]]
“換句話說，中火每年要多燒，一百多萬噸的燃煤”
盧秀燕也宣布，中火自今年1月迄今，生煤使用量已超過規定，先開出一張300萬元的罰單，限期10天改善，如果沒有確實改善，不排除撤銷1到2張的許可證。
