The energy user whose steam generation meets the level stipulated by the central Competent authority, shall install cogeneration equipments.Where the effective thermal ratio and total thermal efficiency of the cogeneration equipments installed by the energy user meet the levels stipulated by the central Competent authority, the energy user may request the local vertical integrated utilities to purchase its excess electricity and supply backup electricity needed for its system maintenance or breakdown. Unless with justified reasons and approval of the central Competent authority, the local vertical integrated utilities shall not refuse such request.Measures regarding the standard and verification of the rates for the purchase of excess electricity, effective thermal ratio and total thermal efficiency of the cogeneration equipments mentioned in the preceding paragraph, as well as measure regarding matters such as the parallel connection between the energy user who intalled cogeneration equipments and the vertical integrated utilities, the method of purchasing electrical energy, the purchasing rates for electrical energy and backup electrical energy, as well as the execution duration of the obligation to purchase excess electricity shall be stipulated by the central Competent authority.
中文原文 能源管理法第10條
能源用戶生產蒸汽達中央主管機關規定數量者，應裝設汽電共生設備。
能源用戶裝設汽電共生設備，有效熱能比率及總熱效率達中央主管機關規定者，得請當地綜合電業收購其生產電能之餘電，與提供系統維修或故障所需備用電力。
當地綜合電業除有正當理由，並經中央主管機關核准外，不得拒絕。
前項收購餘電費率、汽電共生有效熱能比率與總熱效率基準、查驗方式、裝設汽電共生之能源用戶與綜合電業相互併聯、電能收購方式、購電與備用電力費率、收購餘電義務之執行期間及其他相關事項之辦法，由中央主管機關定之。
能源用戶新設或增設用電之契約容量達規定容量者，應於期限內設置一定裝置容量以上之自用發電設備或儲能設備。
前項之契約容量、期限、裝置容量、設置自用發電設備與儲能設備之種類、方式及其他相關事項之辦法，由中央主管機關定之。
