| Research Abstract |
(1)IN MARCH 2000 POWER SUPPLY WAS PARTIALLY LIBERALIZED TO ALLOW POWER PRODUCER SUPPLIERS TO SELL TO EXTRA HIGH-VOLTAGE USERS. REGIONAL COMPANIES ARE ALSO ALLOWED TO BEGIN SELLING POWER TO USERS OUTSIDE THEIR DESIGNATED AREA UNDER COMPETITIVE REGULATORY REFORM.
(2)MINTAINING HARMONY WITH THE NATURAL ENVIRONMENT IS ONE OF THE INDUSTRY PREMIER OBJECTIVES. STEADY PROGRESS HAS ALSO BEEN MADE TO CONTROL CARBON DIOXIDE EMISSIONS THROUGH THE IMPLEMENTATION OF NUCLEAR AND LNG THERMAL POWER GENERATION.
(3)WHILE MEETING GROWING DEMAND, WE ARE WORKING HARD TO BALANCE THE LOAD CURVE. PEAK LOAD PRICINGAND INVESTMENT STRATEGY HAVE EFFECTIVE POLICIES TO FLUCTUATIONS IN ELECTRISITY CONSUMPTION.
