Renewable Energy Development Act Article 20-1
The central competent authority shall notify the enterprise to make improvements within a specified time limit for a geothermal energy exploration or development permit under any of the following circumstances. Those who fail to improve by the notified deadline will be imposed with a fine of no less than NT$300,000 but no more than NT$1,500,000 and ordered to make improvements again within a designated time period. Enterprises that still fail to improve shall be continuously penalised per instance:1.Failure to explore geothermal energy in accordance with the content of the geothermalenergy exploration permit, or failure to develop geothermal energy in accordance with thecontent of the geothermal energy development permit.2.The reinjection ratio of tail water after power generation violates Article 15-3, Paragraph 5.3.For violation of Article 15-4, Paragraph 2, namely, the use of explored or developed geothermal energyforpurposesotherthan geothermal power generation equipment without the approval of the central competent authority.4.Failure to dispose of approved structures in accordance with Article 15-4, Paragraph 3, after the invalidation of the geothermal energy exploration and/or development permit.Geothermal energy exploration or development permit holders who violate Article 15-3, Paragraph 6, or Article 15-4, Paragraph 1, and fail to submit for reference or provide information on time, or provide false information should be notified by the central competent authority of the deadline for improvement. If no improvement is made within the time limit, a fine ranging from NT$200,000 to NT$1,000,000 shall be imposed, and they will be ordered to make improvements again within a designated time period.
