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.
