Air Pollution Control Act Article 14
When there is a concern of a serious deterioration in air quality due to variations in meteorological conditions or other reasons, competent authorities at all levels and public and private premises shall promptly implement emergency control measures. Competent authorities at all levels shall issue air quality deterioration alerts when necessary and may prohibit or restrict the use of transportation vehicles, the emissions of air pollutants by public and private premises, and activities at government agencies and schools.Electricity enterprises, in order to implement the aforementioned emergency control measures or cooperate with competent authorities at all levels to reduce coal-fired power generation, may adjust the types of fuels used for power generation. This adjustment may result in an increase in fuel consumption for gas-fired power generation and air pollutant emissions. The increase shall be reported to the central competent authority of the relevant area for review and approval. Once approved, the limitations on annual fuel consumption and emission quantities specified in permits issued in accordance with Paragraph 4 of Article 24 shall not apply to electricity enterprises. Those that have been reviewed and approved in accordance with the Environmental Impact Assessment Act are not subject to the restrictions on the annual permitted fuel consumption and emissions contained in the environmental impact statement or environmental impact assessment report and the review conclusions.The increment in air pollutant emissions resulting from the adjustment in the preceding paragraph shall be lower than the reduction in air pollutant emissions achieved through the implementation of emergency control measures or the reduction of coal-fired power generation. If the adjustment is made due to the implementation of emergency control measures, the period for which the increment is approved by the central competent authority shall be limited to the duration of the emergency.The issuance of warnings, emergency control measures and approval procedures for serious deterioration of air quality in Paragraph 1 and Paragraph 2 shall be implemented by the central competent authority in consultation with relevant agencies and submitted to the Executive Yuan for approval and announcement.The provisions in Paragraphs 2 and 3, as amended on June 25, 2018, shall remain in effect until December 31, 2025.
中文原文 空氣污染防制法第14條
因氣象變異或其他原因，致空氣品質有嚴重惡化之虞時，各級主管機關及公私場所應即採取緊急防制措施；各級主管機關應發布空氣品質惡化警告，並得禁止或限制交通工具之使用、公私場所空氣污染物之排放及機關、學校之活動。
電業為執行前項緊急防制措施，或配合各級主管機關降低燃煤發電，調整發電使用之燃料種類，致增加燃氣發電之燃料用量及空氣污染物排放量，其增量得報經中央目的事業主管機關審核，並送中央主管機關核可後，不受依第二十四條第四項所定辦法核發之許可證登載之年許可燃料用量及排放量之限制；屬依環境影響評估法審查通過者，亦不受環境影響說明書或環境影響評估書所載之內容及審查結論記載年許可燃料用量及排放量之限制。
前項調整增加之空氣污染物排放量，應低於執行緊急防制措施或降低燃煤發電所減少之空氣污染物排放量；屬因執行緊急防制措施而調整者，中央主管機關核可之增量期間，應限於緊急狀況存續期間。
第一項空氣品質嚴重惡化之警告發布、緊急防制措施及第二項核可程序之辦法，由中央主管機關會商有關機關報請行政院核定公告實施之。
中華民國一百零七年六月二十五日修正之第二項及第三項規定，施行至一百十四年十二月三十一日止。
