On June 28, 2024, a fraud case involving Lio Yang Group and the Economic Development Bureau of Tainan City Government resulted in former bureau chief Chen Kai-ling and 15 others being prosecuted. Concerned legislators are questioning when the electricity business license of Lio Yang company can be revoked. The Bureau of Energy, Ministry of Economic Affairs, has halted all of Lio Yang's pending applications and vows to cooperate with the city government to ensure legality in land use changes for solar panel projects. The progress of solar power promotion is contingent upon various factors such as shifts in power supply and demand dynamics and the impact of renewable energy sources like offshore wind power projects. As the controversy unfolds, judicial proceedings will determine the next steps, with cooperation from local governments to examine issues of forged documents and the legality of land use changes. The Bureau aims to achieve the 20GW solar power target through collaboration with agriculture and environmental departments while adhering to local regulations.
