January 9, 2026-Taipower has been dedicated to the development of sports in Taiwan for 80 years. In that time, the Company has established six top-ranked state-owned enterprise teams and cultivated over 500 national athletes. Today, Taipower was honored in the Sports Activist Awards, winning three major awards for the 11th consecutive year: the Gold Award (Sponsor category), the Long-term Sponsorship Award (Sponsor category), and the Gold Award (Promotion category). A Taipower representative expressed that in addition to the Company’s mission of ensuring a stable power supply, Taipower has been managing multiple sports teams for many years, thereby facilitating the cultivation of up-and-coming talents and encouraging athletes to follow their dreams. Last year, the Company also revised its internal regulations, easing the restriction preventing former players from returning to Taipower teams after competing professionally. In the future, Taipower will continue to promote sports-related public welfare initiatives to foster sportsmanship at the grassroots level and practice corporate social responsibility.

The 2025 Sports Activist Awards Ceremony was held today at the Taipei Performing Arts Center. Taipower Vice President Tsai Chih-Meng accepted the award from Executive Yuan Premier Cho Jung-Tai on behalf of the Company. This year marked the 17th Sports Activist Awards. Taipower stood out among 136 corporate and individual participants, receiving the award for the 16th time, and sweeping three major categories for the 11th consecutive year, joining the ranks of esteemed companies such as Taiwan Cooperative Bank, First Commercial Bank, and Chunghwa Telecom.

To encourage Taipower players to continuously to test their limits through domestic and international professional competitions, the Company revised its internal regulations last year, relaxing the restriction that prevented former players who had transferred to competitive professional sports leagues from returning to Taipower teams. Now, if players leave Taipower teams due to national athletic development needs, they can apply for leave without pay and retain their team member status, enabling them to compete in overseas or domestic league matches without disturbing their status at Taipower.

Since 1946, Taipower has successively established six sports teams: men’s baseball, men’s volleyball, women’s badminton, women’s volleyball, men’s soccer, and women’s basketball. The teams have a longstanding history of discovering potential talent at the high school and college level and training these star athletes for the benefit of Taiwan. Among them, Chiu Pin-Chian from the Taipower women’s badminton team emerged as champion in the women’s singles category at the 2025 Korea Masters (Super 300 class), earning her first BWF super championship trophy. She is also the first Taiwanese badminton player since Badminton Queen Tai Tzu-ying to win a women’s singles championship at the Super 300 class or higher, bringing honor to Taiwan.

Taipower’s sports teams also achieved outstanding results at various domestic competitions. In 2025, the baseball team ranked first in the National Top Division Baseball Spring League and third in the Popcorn League. The men’s and women’s volleyball teams ranked second and first, respectively, in the 2024 Top Volleyball League regular season. On the women’s badminton team, Chen Su-Yu won second place in the women’s singles category in the second National Badminton Ranking Tournament of 2025. The soccer team ranked second in the 2025 Taiwan President FA Cup. As for the women’s basketball team, Taipower netted five potential stars in the 2025 draft, including top pick Ting Chih-Jung, and hopes to once again create good results in this year’s competition.

In addition to cultivating athletic talents, Taipower also exercises corporate social responsibility by promoting public welfare through sports. The Company organizes an annual Care Train, which dispatches players to schools in remote areas to teach children athletic skills and sportsmanship. Over 100 sessions have been held to date. Moreover, since 2016, the Company has hosted the Taipower Fun Sports Camp every summer, where national athletes serve as summer camp counselors to lead students in drills. Last year, the camp attracted 3600 schoolchildren to play ball together, bringing the total number of participants to over 22,000 since its inception.

Taipower collaborates with NMNS on special ecological exhibit The power sector’s ten star species gather for a grand exhibition-now open!

Source: Republic of China Taiwan

March 31, 2026-Taipower strives to promote the coexistence of power facilities and ecology. Today, the Company joined hands in a cross-sector collaboration with the National Museum of Natural Science (NMNS) to launch the Nature in Harmony: Power and Ecology Coexisting special exhibition. This exhibition features ten of the world’s critically endangered species, which can be found at nine power plants throughout Taiwan-including the Yuchi music frog and the black-faced spoonbill. The exhibition also spotlights Taipower’s ecological conservation initiatives: As a result of Taipower’s compliance with international OECM initiatives, the Dajia River and Wanta Power Plants have become Taiwan’s first terrestrial sites to receive the Conservation Coexistence Area certification of the Forestry and Nature Conservation Agency (FANCA), Ministry of Agriculture. A Taipower representative explained that the exhibition will run from today through May 3, and invited everyone to witness the results of Taipower personnel’s many years of devotion to sustainable actions for ecological conservation.

The Nature in Harmony: Power and Ecology Coexisting special exhibition celebrated its grand opening today at the NMNS. Distinguished guests from all walks of life, including Taipower President Wang Yao-Ting, NMNS Director Huang Wen-Shan, renowned ecological writer Liu Ke-Hsiang, and representatives from FANCA and the Taiwan Biodiversity Research Institute, came together for the opening of the exhibition. Additionally, the film Taipower 80: Ecological Coexistence by internationally acclaimed award-winning director Hsu Hung-Lung was screened to the public for the first time during this special exhibition. The film uses a camera lens to glimpse the stories of Taipower’s ecological conservation efforts, spanning land, sea, and air.

A Taipower representative explained that to supply every region of Taiwan with stable electricity, power plants and other electrical structures must frequently coexist with natural environments such as mountains and waters. To simultaneously ensure a stable power supply and protect biodiversity, Taipower has long invested in environmental monitoring and ecological surveys in the regions surrounding its power facilities, and the Company plans conservation measures aligned with local circumstances, striving to integrate its power plants into mountain forests, wetlands, and oceans by transforming them into ecological habitats for local species. The current collaboration between Taipower and the NMNS presents Taipower’s stories and the results of its investment in ecological preservation in an exhibition format. It also shows the public that Taipower is more than just an electricity supplier, it is also a conservationist of environmental ecology.

An NMNS representative noted that this joint exhibition with Taipower exemplifies a collaborative model benefitting research organizations, corporations, and environmental ecology. NMNS researchers have long surveyed and monitored the habitats surrounding power plants, assisting Taipower in adopting more appropriate ecological conservation strategies while accumulating important data on Taiwan’s biodiversity. This special exhibition transforms the scientific results and conservation actions into visibly displayable content. The NMNS hopes that Taipower will inspire other domestic companies to jointly invest in ecological conservation, contributing to the protection of Taiwan’s diverse and precious natural environment.

This special exhibition brings together ten precious species from nine power plants throughout Taiwan. They include Taiwan’s native Yuchi music frog, which lives in a habitat painstaking constructed at the Mingtan Power Plant; the black-faced spoonbill, which can be spotted in the Yongan Wetlands surrounding the Hsinta Power Plant; a unique species of water chestnut that was successfully rehabilitated at Penghu’s Chienshan Power Plant; the Level III endangered Wushe blood-spotted long-horned beetle that perches at Wanta Power Plant; and many more. The exhibition not only introduces the characteristics and behavioral traits of each species; physical specimens and virtual reality models have also been transported to the exhibition hall, enabling the public to observe these rare and precious species up close.

The exhibition has also collected heartwarming stories of Taipower personnel’s efforts to protect the environment and ecology. For example, during the Man’an Dam planning phase of the Dajia River Power Plant, Taipower incorporated a fish ladder into the dam structure. The ladder was optimized in 2016, reducing the drop in elevation between the ladder mouth and the riverbed to allow fish with smaller bodies or shorter jumping ranges to successfully swim upstream and find their way home. Meanwhile, the Wanta Power Plant utilized cherry blossom tree transplantation and habitat management measures to give the blood-spotted long-horned beetle a stable perch within the area, and even successfully rehabilitated native Taiwan soybean species that had been extinct for half a century. Actions such as these also enabled the Dajia River and Wanta Power Plant to be honored as Taiwan’s first batch of certified terrestrial Conservation Coexistence Areas, which is the ultimate proof of coexistence between electrical sites and environmental ecology.

The Nature in Harmony: Power and Ecology Coexisting special exhibition opens today in Special Exhibition Hall 3 at the NMNS and runs through May 3 (museum hours: 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. daily; closed on Mondays). By participating in games and collecting all of the species stamps, you can receive a lovely souvenir. On weekends, there is also a Waterbird Hotel storytelling activity. Everyone is invited to visit and feel the ecological trajectory of Taipower sites’ mingling with the natural environment.

Promoting innovative power technology and talent cultivation Taipower signs MOU on microgrid promotion with NCU, NCUE, and NSYSU

Source: Republic of China Taiwan

March 13, 2026-Taipower has been actively promoting university microgrid demonstration projects, aiming to achieve innovations in energy technology, expand the practical application of microgrids, and cultivate talent. Today, Taipower signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with National Central University (NCU), National Changhua University of Education (NCUE), and National Sun Yat-sen University (NSYSU), with installation of the university microgrid systems slated for 2027. A Taipower representative expressed that this project will leverage the schools’ research capacity and Taipower’s practical experience in electrical systems to promote micro grid technology demonstrations and applications. Additionally, both sides will comprehensively plan energy and sustainability curricula to jointly cultivate professional talent for the power industry.

On March 13, Taipower held an MOU signing ceremony at Taipower Building for the 2026 University Energy Conservation and Electrical Resilience-Microgrid Promotion Demonstration Plan. Taipower Chairman Tseng Wen-Sheng, NCU President Hsiau Shu-San, NCUE Director of General Affairs Liu Chin-Chia, and NSYSU Senior Vice President Kuo Chih-Wen were on site to jointly sign the agreement.

A Taipower representative indicated that Taiwan has been rapidly developing green energy and distributed energy resources in response to the global push for net-zero emissions. Taipower continuously invests in energy system upgrades. In recent years, in addition to accelerating the replacement of outdated equipment and integrating smart facilities, the Company has been building a more robust energy grid through the promotion of energy storage and microgrid projects.

Microgrids are small-scale grid systems with integrated electricity generation, storage, and management. They can operate independently or be linked to the Taipower grid, assisting with diverse applications such as energy conservation, regional independent energy supply, and disaster proofing. When campuses establish microgrid systems, it is equivalent to adding a self-sufficient power node. At times of need, e.g., during typhoons and other emergency situations, the system can autonomously power the campus, or it can instantly provide aid by contributing self-generated electricity to the Taipower grid.

Taipower is actively promoting university microgrid demonstration projects in hopes of increasing expertise, technology, and talent cultivation for microgrid applications. All Taiwanese institutes of higher education with Electrical Engineering departments are invited to participate. Following a comprehensive assessment of site plans, microgrid management and operation plans, and energy saving results plans by a joint review committee comprising professional units from Taipower; the Public Construction Commission, Executive Yuan; the Ministry of Education; the Energy Administration, Ministry of Economic Affairs; and relevant domestic research institutions, Taipower is now building on its 2024 collaboration with National Taiwan University of Science and Technology, National Chung Hsing University, and National Chung Cheng University by collaborating with NCU, NCUE, and NYSYU to jointly promote the construction of campus microgrids.

The NCU project will construct a “clustered” microgrid framework, creating several small-scale campus microgrids that can operate independently or mutually support each other, further elevating power resilience. The NCUE project will install a campus microgrid system with multiple microgrids along the same powerline, aiming to validate the configuration’s effectiveness and ensure a flexible connection with the grid. The NSYSU project will install a microgrid that transforms the Building of International Research into a disaster shelter that can autonomously supply electricity for over 48 hours. Additionally, because this campus is located at the end of the feeder line, data on its grid operations will serve as an important reference when designing electrical systems for remote islands and mountainous regions.

In the short term, the university microgrid demonstration project will treat six universities, including NCU, NCUE, and NSYSU, as testing grounds for power source technology verification and innovation. In addition to providing opportunities for teachers and students to directly participate in the research and practical application of power technology, the project will facilitate courses related to energy and environmental knowledge, microgrid energy management technology, and the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) to cultivate professional talents in the electric power field, promote the long-term development of Taiwan’s power systems, and advance distributed energy technology.

Taipower launches Jingzhe Stable Supply project, mobilizing a record 4000 personnel to prevent power outages caused by wildlife

Source: Republic of China Taiwan

March 5, 2026-Today marks the beginning of Jingzhe, one of the 24 solar terms on the traditional Chinese calendar, denoting the awakening of hibernating insects. As the weather turns warmer, birds and other animals are beginning to become active. Today, Taipower launched the Jingzhe Stable Supply project, spanning power distribution, transmission, and generation systems. The Company mobilized over 4000 personnel to remove bird nests, trim trees, install bird repellers and anti-snake/rat netting, and sealing cable conduit caps. It also implemented measures such as monitoring line facilities, upgrading or replacing old equipment, and protecting improvements to strengthen the power supply resilience. All of these efforts aim to reduce the occurrence of power outages due to external forces such as wildlife.

A Taipower representative explained that according to the Company’s estimates, nearly 50% of ordinary accidental power outages are caused by external forces. Excluding equipment damage due to traffic accidents, wire damage during construction or pipeline excavation, and trees making contact with wires during felling, approximately 40% of these outages are due to contact with wildlife. Some birds and animals scuttle back and forth on top of powerlines, or use metal materials such as steel wires as building materials for their nests. When their plumage, tails, or the steel wires in their nests make contact with the equipment lines, it can result in a power outage.

In recent years, Taipower has adopted two major approaches for dealing with power outages due to contact with wildlife: blocking contact paths and constructing a friendly environment. This replaces the old methodology “post-incident repairs” with one of “pre-incident prevention”, and aims to reduce the occurrence of power outages due to contact with wildlife. According to the Company’s estimates, 2838 outages were caused by wildlife in 2012, compared to only 1011 in 2025, an overall reduction of more than 60%.

The Jingzhe Stable Supply project encompasses power distribution, transmission, and generation systems. Taipower has dispatched more than 4000 personnel to conduct line protection and defensive monitoring. Aside from 24 business offices across Taiwan and 6 supply operation centers, the Company has targeted all levels of power substations, transmission lines, and distribution facilities for resilience enhancement. This includes upgrading electrical cables, covering exposed equipment, trimming trees, and removing bird nests located on top of utility poles. Additionally, as wildlife frequently appears in the switchyards of 21 hydropower and thermal power plants, the Company will enhance gap sealing of conduit entry points and related equipment and install protective netting to defend against harm by birds, snakes, and other animals, thereby enhancing the stability of the power supply. Taipower will also conduct equipment inspections at sites such as MRTs, marketplaces, and department stores, and provide hands-on training and safety guidance for user-side power equipment to jointly mitigate potential risks.

This project will fully inspect all areas of electrical facilities that wildlife tend to nest in or travel through, removing them before incidents occur. If fledglings or eggs are discovered, the nests will be relocated, delivered to animal welfare organizations or zoos, or transferred to members of the public who are interested in fostering them, thereby achieving the dual goals of a stable energy supply and ecological protection.

Electricity is a city’s competitive power! Energy infrastructure is key to developing the AI and semiconductor industries

Source: Republic of China Taiwan

March 2, 2026-Taipower revealed its 2026 outlook today. The Company will adhere to its mission of ensuring a stable power supply, with a focus on three key topics: future electricity demand trends, developing and enhancing power facility infrasturcture, and urban planning for the semiconductor industry. A Taipower representative emphasized that electricity is a city’s competitive power. As the global AI and semiconductor industries swiftly develop, each region is vying to attract factories. When selecting locations, these industries will prioritize cities that support power plant construction, thus, future urban planning should support enhanced energy development and energy systems.

Taiwan-US tariff fluctuations spur industrial development; energy consumption expected to increase by 5 million kWh by 2030.

Due to new developments in Taiwan-US tariff policies, aligned with the expanded production needs of Taiwan’s AI sector (including related OEM, memory, seals, packaging, and server industry chains), Taipower estimates that energy consumption will increase by over 5 million kWh by 2030. Over the next decade (from 2026 to 2035), growth of energy needs for Taipower’s systems will accelerate noticeably, with the average annual growth more than double that of the previous decade. To satisfy future energy needs and aid in Taiwan’s industrial development, Taipower will continue to examine the supply and demand circumstances for its systems and plans to expand the promotion of energy R&D and grid construction.

In response to energy needs, Taipower is fully investing in energy R&D and grid construction, aiming to support all sectors of society.

In terms of energy sources, a total of four units will be successively brought online this year: Hsinta’s new gas-fired No. 2 and No. 3 units, and Taichung’s new No. 1 and No. 2 units. In the future Taipower will install units with a total capacity of over 5.2 million kWh while simultaneously investing in demonstration work at an unprecedented scale. Meanwhile, the grid faces structural transformation and upgrade challenges. For example, energy consumption by AI data centers is comparable to that of the semiconductor industry; however, the buildings are much smaller in volume than those of the average large manufacturing plant. Data centers can be built in metropolitan areas; however, their energy consumption density far exceeds anything seen before, creating a challenge for existing grid systems. Therefore, electricity resources and proper pairing of facilities are key factors for relevant industries and regional economic growth. Taipower hopes that the public will support its comprehensive investment in necessary infrastructure construction.

Taipower signs agreement with Westinghouse Technology; manufacturer officially stationed at No. 3 Nuclear Plant for safety check.

With regard to nuclear energy, Taipower’s No. 3 Nuclear Plant has completed the initial steps of its plan to restart operations, and the plan will be submitted to the Nuclear Safety Commission (NSC) before the end of March, as scheduled. As for the self-implemented safety check of the No. 3 Nuclear Plant; on January 15 of this year, Taipower signed a memorandum of understanding with the US Westinghouse Company (the original designer of the No. 3 Nuclear Plant). Westinghouse Company has agreed to provide technical assistance and necessary support for the NSC inspection. Moreover, the official procurement agreement was finalized and took effect on February 13. Technical personnel from Westinghouse will be gradually stationed at the No. 3 Nuclear Plant to begin relevant work. Taipower will also adhere to its strict professionalism of treating nuclear safety as the top priority.

Electricity is a city’s competitive power! Industrial strategies and urban planning must prioritize considerations of power infrastructure.

The semiconductor industry is turning to regions with ample power supplies, and AI data centers are being built in places with a resilient power grid. When selecting sites, semiconductor plants and AI data centers prioritize the consideration of cities that support the construction of power plants, establishing an optimal balance of computing power and electricity supply. Furthermore, urban planning is not just about building roads, but also about planning powerlines. It is therefore recommended that future urban planning incorporate the consideration of power infrastructure such as water, electricity, and other basic support lines, as well as space for power substations and other key installations. A Taipower representative emphasized that electricity is a city’s competitive power: The more plentiful a region’s energy sources and the more resilient its power grid, the greater the capability to ensure a stable power supply and attract industrial investments, thereby enhancing the city’s competitive power and promoting regional economic development.
