碩士 === 國立臺北商業大學 === 貿易實務法律暨談判碩士學位學程 === 107 === This study focuses on the development of offshore wind energy in Taiwan and in the UK, with a comparative analysis between both legal issues and solutions. Renewable energy is one of the hottest and most serious topics in our society. Governments in different countries always pursue to find a clearer and more stable energy, preventing the shortage of current energy and pollution as well. UK government has already developed the offshore wind power for decades earlier than Taiwan. Therefore, this study analyzes the progressions and policies between Taiwan and the UK (which both countries have the familiar environment to develop offshore wind power) to verify the pros and cons of developing the offshore wind power in Taiwan. Although the offshore wind power is still a newborn and strait topic which is always viewed as an immature and money-wasting energy in Taiwan society, with the comparative analysis of legal issues on development and fishery compensation, this study ultimately aims to deconstruct the public opinions, categorizing offshore wind power as a high potential sustainable energy, finally bringing a clear and efficient energy in Taiwan’s future.
