Identifying the Attitude of Environmental Practitioners toward Policy for Promoting Wind Energy in Taiwan Using Analytical Hierarchy Process

Abstract:

The analytical hierarchical process (AHP) was adopted in this study to determine the priority of the policy criterion related to promoting wind energy, considering the environmental practitioners’ points of view. The results were described as follows. The practitioners from environmental organizations suggested that the most important major criteria are in the following order: policy criterion layer, technical criterion layer, economy criterion layer, and energy education criterion layer. For the global weights of the criteria, the criteria with top five weights were in the order as follows: “active development of green energy industry by government”, “supply and consumption method of low-carbon and low-pollution energy”, “increase of percentage of power generation from renewable energy in total power supply”, “encourage manufacturers to develop new wind power generation technology”, and “continually develop the technology projects which has potential and prospects in the future”.
