Some of the national dailies’ headlines today reported that an electricity tariff hike is imminent and it is unavoidable due to the fossil fuel price hike.
As reported in the National Energy Balance 2011 by the Energy Commission, 83.4 percent of our electricity generation comes from fossil fuels such natural gas (52.5 percent) and coal (30.9 percent). Trends of further relying on fossil fuels are even more obvious when the government has approved a few coal-fired power plants to be installed in our country.
