February 3, 2026-To facilitate the smooth progress of a major national energy construction project, this morning Taipower held a ceremony publicly committing to create a procurement integrity platform for the Hsieh-ho Plant Upgrade Renovation Plan-Sea Wall, Land Reclamation, and LNG Unloading Dock Maritime Construction Procurement Project. Authorities from the Ministry of Economic Affairs, the Ministry of Justice, the Prosecutor’s Office, the Agency Against Corruption (AAC), and the Ministry of Justice Investigation Bureau (MJIB) joined hands with Taipower at the Hsieh-ho Construction Office, jointly committing to the spirit of cross-sector collaboration, public-private partnership, transparent administration, and public supervision. The coalition aims to reject undue external influence and ensure fairness and impartiality during construction, as well as legal compliance, adherence to quality standards, and on-schedule completion, thereby achieving the goals of a stable power supply and reduced air pollution in the northern region.

A Taipower representative expressed that the Hsieh-ho Plant Upgrade Renovation Plan aims to simultaneously ensure a stable power supply and improve air quality. This plan will replace the plant’s four outdated oil-fired units with two new gas-powered units. After construction is completed, the plant will provide customers on the northeastern power grid with stable electricity while reducing air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions by 96% and 52%, respectively. The maritime construction portion of the project involves highly difficult breakwater engineering, land reclamation through embankment, and installation of an LNG unloading dock.

Hsieh-ho’s maritime construction is highly specialized, requiring an enormous procurement amount, and the plant is one of Taiwan’s key energy facilities; thus, the project has attracted public interest. To alleviate public concerns and practice information transparency, Taipower has joined hands with the AAC, the Prosecutor’s Office, and the MJIB to establish a procurement integrity platform. The Company aims, through public and transparent methods, to invite external examination and supervision to facilitate the smooth completion of this major procurement project.
To demonstrate their proactive attitude, after the commitment ceremony, Taipower, relevant units, and elected committee members immediately convened their first coordination meeting, where they exchanged views on how to safeguard independence and guard against legal risks during the bidding phase of the Hsieh-ho construction project. Moving forward, Taipower will utilize this coordination mechanism to periodically exchange views with judicial and executive authorities regarding hidden risks and controversies, enabling it to establish early warning and handling systems. This will not only prevent fraud but also facilitate project success by enabling suppliers to focus on fulfilling their obligations.

Information regarding the Hsieh-ho Plant Upgrade Renovation Plan-Sea Wall, Land Reclamation, and LNG Unloading Dock Maritime Construction Procurement Project, such as the construction progress and related meeting minutes, will be gradually disclosed on the Procurement Integrity Platform page of Taipower’s website. Members of the public are invited to collectively monitor the project, and it is hoped that through transparent administration, the Company can eliminate undue external influences and ensure the progress and quality of this major procurement project.

The commitment ceremony was presided over by Taipower Chairman Tseng Wen-Sheng. Ministry of Economic Affairs Vice Minister Chien-Hsin Lai; Agency Against Corruption, Ministry of Justice Director-General Ping Cheng; Taiwan Keelung District Prosecutors Office Chief Prosecutor Ke I-Fen; Keelung Ministry of Justice Investigation Bureau Director Huang Shu-Hua; Department of Civil Service Ethics, Ministry of Economic Affairs Director Chi Chia-Chen; Department of Civil Service Ethics, Keelung City Government Director Lee Kuo-Cheng; and other esteemed guests were on site as witnesses, demonstrating a commitment to the four key principles: cross-sector collaboration, public-private partnership, transparent administration, and public supervision.

January 21, 2026-Grid construction is closely tied to a stable power supply and regional development. In recent years, Taipower has continuously promoted initiatives to connect the island-wide grid, which will increase the resilience of the power supply through mutual interregional support. However, the eastern region faces constraints due to geographical conditions, making construction difficult. Today, Taipower announced that it is actively discussing a collaboration with the Ministry of Transportation and Communications (MOTC) that will incorporate grid construction into the Suhua Highway Safety Enhancement Project (Suhua Safety Project). This joint construction project will complete the island-wide grid and increase grid resilience in the eastern region.

A Taipower representative explained that the Hualien region’s electricity is currently supplied primarily via the New East-West Line, a high voltage transmission line that traverses the Central Mountain Range. The key to the smooth completion and stable operation of this project lay in close cooperation between Taipower and the Forestry and Nature Conservation Agency (FANCA), Ministry of Agriculture.

The New East-West Line passes through rugged mountainous terrain. Construction and maintenance work depend heavily on the Danda Forest Road and other established access roads. However, the Danda Forest Road is frequently damaged by landslides and other natural disasters. The Sunhai Bridge at its entrance was also previously damaged by a typhoon. These factors have seriously impacted Taipower personnel’s ability to enter the mountain range to conduct grid maintenance. However, through collaboration with FANCA, both agencies have jointly invested in road repairs and maintenance, successfully integrating road and grid maintenance, and demonstrating the concrete results of cross-ministerial collaboration.

The New East-West Line not only allows energy to circulate between the east and west sides of the island but also enhances the eastern grid’s resilience to extreme weather conditions. Taipower has actively promoted initiatives to connect the island-wide grid; however, the area south of Heping, Hualien is currently constrained by geographical and environmental conditions. Ultimately, linkage of a 48-kilometer section remains incomplete. Taipower previously planned a Hegong-Fenglin transmission line project, but because the line would pass through Taroko National Park, and also due to the precipitous local topography, it has been difficult to find a suitable sites for transmission tower construction.

As it happens, the MOTC is currently working on the Suhua Safety Project. If both agencies can collaborate to jointly complete the undergrounding of cables and tunnel construction, it should resolve the current dilemma. Not only will this effectively utilize national land resources; after completion, it will enhance the stability of the power supply, reducing the risk of major outages in the Hualien region. To this end, Taipower expressed its gratitude to Executive Yuan Minister without Portfolio Chen Chin-de for convening cross-ministerial discussion meetings. Through these meetings, Taipower hopes to achieve joint cooperation, facilitate the integration of Suhua Safety Project construction into grid planning, and take the last steps to complete the island-wide grid, elevating the resilience of the Hualien-Taitung power grid.

January 26, 2026-Taipower convened a press conference at the Ministry of Economic Affairs today on Initiatives to Enhance the Stability of the Power Distribution System. A Taipower representative described the outcomes of power distribution system improvements as follows: In recent years, Taipower has accelerated the phasing out of old facilities, incorporated smart monitoring systems, and implemented measures to prevent wildlife from making contact with power equipment, comprehensively replacing the philosophy of “post-incident repairs” with one of “pre-incident prevention”. Compared to 2012, when there were 21,019 power distribution incidents, in 2025 there were only 6191 incidents-a 70% decrease. Additionally, last year, Taipower completed the installation of automated systems for feeder lines nationwide. These systems can automatically detect and isolate faults, which greatly increases the overall efficiency of power restoration. Taipower will continue to invest in energy system enhancements, aiming to create a more resilient, smarter, and friendlier power grid to increase the quality of power services for the people of Taiwan.

The structure of Taipower’s energy distribution network is complex. There are more than 10,000 feeder lines throughout Taiwan, with a total length of 440,000 kilometers-enough to wrap around the planet 10 times. Along these lines, Taipower has installed a cumulative 1.57 million switches and 1.58 million transformers, along with approximately 3.26 million utility poles. When the equipment in any area is affected by a natural disaster, external forces, or a failure of the equipment itself, it can trigger a feeder trip, causing a small-scale localized outage. To reduce outage incidents, in 2023, Taipower launched the Power Distribution System 5-year Upgrade Plan, investing NT$33.4 billion to accelerate the replacement of outdated transformers, lines, and switches nationwide. Through the continuous promotion of this plan, Taipower will further prevent the occurrence of power outages.

Furthermore, in response to the assault by Typhoon Danas last year, Taipower established a special project to create a disaster-proof grid, prioritizing the undergrounding of utility poles on key roads, such as Provincial Highways 17, 19, 9, and 11, which are vulnerable to wind damage but resistant to flooding. For areas prone to subsidence and flooding, measures were adjusted accordingly; through a combination of pole reinforcement and the interspersed installation of class E utility poles capable of withstanding level 17 winds, Taipower has prevented chain reactions of toppling poles, and greatly increased the equipment’s disaster resilience.

In recent years, Taipower has continuously adopted smart monitoring technologies, including infrared ray heat imaging and very low frequency (VLF) cable testing. According to initial estimates, a total of 636,000 transformer boxes and 4.1 million meters of cables underwent inspection last year, allowing the Company to identify outdated equipment with potential risks of breakdown and replacing it in advance. Last year, Taipower also completed the installation of automated systems on its feeder lines. Through increased line intelligence, when accidents occur, engineers can actively identify and isolate faults, and restore power to customers in unaffected areas within 5 minutes-ten times faster than with traditional emergency repairs. This has effectively improved the efficiency of power restoration.

According to Taipower’s statistics, nearly 50% of power distribution accidents are caused by external forces, and among those, approximately 40% occur due to contact with wildlife. To simultaneously ensure a stable power supply and protect the environment, Taipower continuously engages in tree-trimming efforts and has installed insulated conductors on approximately 1 million utility poles nationwide. Additionally, by transplanting bird nests found on top of utility poles and installing environmentally friendly bird baskets, the Company guides birds away from danger. Taipower has also added bird repellers, anti-rat and ant-snake netting, sealed gaps in conduits, and taken other measures to prevent wildlife from making contact with electrical equipment. Through the continuous efforts of Taipower employees, the number of power outages occurring due to contact with equipment by wildlife and trees dropped from 4073 incidents in 2012 to only 1772 in 2025, an overall reduction of over 50%, which is a remarkable result.

A stable power supply is the mission and duty of Taipower personnel. Whether engaged in regular inspections and maintenance or round-the-clock repairs during typhoons, Taipower employees are at the frontline providing electricity to the people, protecting the light on every inch of land in Taiwan. Taipower will continue to enhance its power distribution system, reduce outages, and safeguard the Taiwanese people’s right to electricity.

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.
