      <title><![CDATA[BIP advances smart governance with AI-based industrial pipeline risk identification and smart sewer networks to improve wastewater management efficiency.]]></title>
      <link>https://www.moea.gov.tw/MNS/english/news/News.aspx?kind=6&amp;menu_id=176&amp;news_id=124371</link>
      <description><![CDATA[The Bureau of Industrial Parks (BIP) of the Ministry of Economic Affairs (MOEA) announced on October 30 that it continues to adopt artificial intelligence (AI), cloud-based big data analytics, and smart monitoring technologies to enhance industrial pipeline risk identification, early warning and emergency response capabilities, and wastewater management efficiency. For industrial pipeline safety, BIP has established a "Cloud-Based Industrial Pipeline Platform" that integrates basic information on seven pipeline corridors and 69 pipelines, along with more than one million records of spatial data, inspection histories, and related information, to strengthen AI-powered risk identification and early warning capabilities. For wastewater management, BIP introduced smart sewer networks at the Tucheng and Dajia Youth Industrial Park wastewater treatment plants as demonstration sites, reducing chemical consumption costs by more than 20%, cutting wastewater treatment electricity consumption by 29%, and reducing carbon emissions by approximately 7,000 kg of CO2. Through these initiatives, BIP is progressively developing modern industrial parks that integrate safety and disaster prevention, smart early warning, and environmental sustainability.
BIP noted that it continues to strengthen routine prevention, risk monitoring, and emergency response capabilities for industrial pipelines through a multi-pronged approach encompassing regulatory management, inspections and verification, and technological applications. To date, BIP has conducted 39 central government supervisory inspections, 175 inspections jointly with local governments, and 66 emergency response drills and tests. It has also introduced XR training in two sessions. In recent years, BIP has further integrated AI-based image recognition, pipeline leak dispersion simulations, and dynamic risk mapping. High-risk areas have been identified across five administrative districts and 23 villages in Kaohsiung. By integrating information on pipelines, buildings, and daytime and nighttime population distributions, the system helps identify potentially affected areas in advance, advancing pipeline safety management beyond real-time monitoring toward proactive risk identification and early warning.
Smart technologies are also being incorporated into companies' day-to-day pipeline management. CPC Corporation, has independently developed an inspection comparisons have been completed for 21 pipelines in the Kaohsiung area, while an AGM tracking system has been adopted to improve location accuracy and efficiency. Formosa Plastics Corporation has introduced an AI-based leak sensing model for relocated pipelines under the Intercontinental Container Terminal Phase II Project and established a smart leak detection system. Chang Chun Group has integrated its pipeline leak detection system with an intelligent assistant to analyze alarms. During leak-release testing, the system reduced detection response time to two minutes and achieved a location error of less than 100 meters, demonstrating the tangible benefits of smart technologies in improving anomaly detection and emergency response efficiency.
In wastewater management, BIP has designated the wastewater treatment plants in Tucheng and Dajia Youth Industrial Parks as demonstration sites for smart management. Mobile automated water quality and flow monitoring facilities and an intelligent cloud platform have been established to detect abnormal discharges through real-time monitoring and big data analytics. In addition to significant improvements in the concentrations of suspended solids (SS) and chemical oxygen demand (COD) in incoming wastewater, the pollutant loads at the two parks have been reduced by 32.2% for SS and 42.8% for COD. The percentage of companies with abnormal SS levels decreased from 4.15% to 2.3%, while the percentage with abnormal COD levels fell from 3.44% to 2.39%. Energy efficiency has also improved, with electricity consumption per metric ton of wastewater treated dropping from 0.124 kWh to 0.088 kWh, representing a reduction of 29.03%. These improvements enhance water quality and operational efficiency while reducing energy consumption and carbon emissions. 
BIP emphasized that it will continue to deepen the application of smart technologies in the next phase. For industrial pipeline management, BIP plans to introduce an "AI Safety Assistant" that integrates inspection data, hazard simulations, and risk mapping information to facilitate rapid information consolidation and provide recommendations for emergency response strategies. For wastewater management, BIP will expand the deployment of automated sewer water quality and flow monitoring, AI-based monitoring and identification of stormwater drainage channels, and a cloud-based big data integration platform across 12 industrial parks to establish comprehensive smart sewer networks. Moving forward, BIP will continue to leverage data integration and smart technologies to shift industrial park governance from reactive incident management toward proactive early warning, creating high-quality industrial parks that prioritize both safety and disaster prevention and environmental sustainability.

      <link>https://www.moea.gov.tw/MNS/english/news/News.aspx?kind=6&amp;menu_id=176&amp;news_id=124349</link>
      <description><![CDATA[SEMICON Taiwan 2026 officially kicked off today. Minister of Economic Affairs Kung Ming-Hsin was invited to attend the opening ceremony and served as the guest of honor for the ribbon-cutting of the USA Pavilion. Minister Kung joined Raymond Greene, Director of the American Institute in Taiwan (AIT), and Bill Frauenhofer, Director of the U.S. Department of Commerce's CHIPS Program Office, at the pavilion's opening to announce that Taiwanese businesses are further expanding their investments in the United States. In his opening remarks, Minister Kung said the Taiwan-U.S. semiconductor partnership is growing closer, and expanding its footprint in the U.S. has become a vital strategic move for Taiwanese enterprises. Following a recent review by the Ministry of Economic Affairs (MOEA), Taiwanese firms have committed an additional US$20 billion in investment to the U.S.

SEMICON Taiwan 2026 is expected to feature over 1,300 participating companies and 4,300 exhibition booths. Industry leaders from home and abroad are gathering for a three-day forum to discuss the future of semiconductors. The event is projected to attract industry professionals from more than 65 countries, setting new records for both attendance and booth count. Demonstrating Taiwan's technological strength, the Industrial Development Administration (IDA) and the Department of Industrial Technology (DoIT) of the MOEA, in collaboration with the Industrial Technology Research Institute (ITRI), jointly presented the "IDA Pavilion" and the "DoIT R&D Pavilion."

Beyond domestic industry players and government agencies, the USA Pavilion was co-organized for the third consecutive year by AIT and the American State Offices Association (ASOA). This year's USA Pavilion brings together 11 economic development organizations and American enterprises from states including Arizona, California, Colorado, Idaho, and Ohio, as well as the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands.
Speaking at the USA Pavilion opening, Minister Kung pointed out that foreign direct investment (FDI) into Taiwan reached US$13.9 billion from January to July 2026 - a 78% year-on-year growth. Micron's US$7.5 billion debt-to-equity swap investment was the largest. Furthermore, NVIDIA's recent announcement of a US$3.5 billion investment in MediaTek underscores that international tech giants remain highly bullish on Taiwan's industrial development.

Meanwhile, momentum in Taiwanese companies investing in the U.S. continues to surge. Ahead of the SelectUSA summit in May this year, the MOEA conducted an assessment showing that 20 Taiwanese companies in the semiconductor and AI server sectors had announced US$35 billion in U.S. investments. Driven by continuously growing market orders, these companies committed an additional US$20 billion in investment within just a few short months. Looking ahead, in addition to expanding investments in AI and semiconductor servers, the scope of cooperation is set to extend to sectors such as biotechnology and natural gas. The Taiwan government is committed to providing full assistance to ensure the smooth implementation of these investment projects, deepening bilateral investment and industrial collaboration, and fostering mutual prosperity.

The MOEA emphasized that Taiwan looks forward to building an even closer partnership with the United States to reinforce mutually beneficial investments. The Ministry will continue to foster a sound investment environment to attract foreign businesses to Taiwan. At the same time, more Taiwanese enterprises are establishing a direct presence in the U.S. to stay close to end customers and expand market reach. By leveraging the complementary industrial strengths of both sides, Taiwan and the U.S. will jointly build a highly resilient global supply chain.

The MOEA reaffirmed that the government will continue to execute its established strategy to "Remain Rooted in Taiwan, Expand Globally, and Market to the World." Taiwan will work closely with trusted international allies to build a closer industrial network, unlocking more opportunities for sustainable industrial development.]]></description>

      <link>https://www.moea.gov.tw/MNS/english/news/News.aspx?kind=6&amp;menu_id=176&amp;news_id=124399</link>
      <description><![CDATA[Taiwan Power Company (Taipower) unveiled its Integrated Power Grid special exhibition today (14th) at Energy Taiwan 2026, held at Taipei Nangang Exhibition Center, Hall 1. In response to the rapid development of the semiconductor and artificial intelligence (AI) industries, this year's exhibition presents a comprehensive overview of Taiwan's electricity development roadmap for the next decade. Taipower emphasized that electricity has evolved beyond a traditional public utility service to become a critical strategic resource supporting national and industrial competitiveness. As technological advancements drive growing industrial electricity demand, Taipower aims to develop an Integrated Power Grid that combines resilience, efficiency, and sustainability through the coordinated integration of power generation, grid infrastructure, and industrial electricity needs, fully supporting the continued development of Taiwan's integrated circuit (IC) industry.

Taipower pointed out that its electricity development strategy for the next decade is built on two key principles: Anticipating Electricity Demand and Preparing for Future Power Supply Needs. The Anticipating Electricity Demand exhibition area highlights how energy resources have become a critical consideration amid multiple challenges, including the global transition toward net-zero carbon emissions, the growth of technology industries, and energy price fluctuations driven by geopolitical developments. Taipower has assessed future electricity demand trends in advance and estimates that annual electricity consumption by Taiwan's semiconductor industry will more than double, from approximately 52 billion kilowatt-hours (kWh) in 2026 to 110 billion kilowatt-hours (kWh) by 2035. In response, Taipower will review and adjust its power development plans annually to accommodate evolving demand.

The Preparing for Future Power Supply Needs exhibition area showcases Taipower's proactive efforts to expand power generation capacity and strengthen grid infrastructure in response to the rapid growth of the AI and semiconductor industries. Taipower explained that, on the generation side, it is actively developing a diversified energy mix to ensure both a stable electricity supply and greater energy resilience. On the grid side, Taipower is advancing its initiative to Directly Supply Seven Major Science Parks from Five Major Power Plants and plans to construct additional extra-high-voltage substations in coordination with science park development plans. These measures will not only enhance the reliability of electricity supply to industries but also help free up capacity on the existing power grid and strengthen power supply resilience for households and other essential services.

Furthermore, the high power density and round-the-clock operation of AI data centers pose significant challenges to the power grid. At the exhibition, four balls of vastly different weights (a ping-pong ball, a baseball, a bowling ball, and a shot) are used to simulate the varying impacts of different electricity users on the grid. This interactive demonstration allows visitors to experience firsthand the enormous, concentrated electrical load imposed by AI data centers, comparable to the weight of a shot, and better understand the importance of proactive power supply planning and comprehensive grid infrastructure development.

Taipower explained that traditional data centers have generally been located close to end users. However, from an energy transmission perspective, fiber-optic cables offer greater efficiency over long distances for transmitting data than copper cables do for transmitting electricity. Drawing inspiration from the semiconductor industry's concept of using light instead of electricity, Taipower encourages the co-location of industrial facilities with power generation sources. Specifically, it aims to guide energy-intensive industries, such as AI data centers, toward areas with abundant electricity supply near power generation facilities. By generating and consuming electricity locally, this approach can reduce transmission losses and improve overall energy efficiency.

The exhibition also features a specially designed Integrated Power Grid Planning Studio, inviting visitors to experience the process of planning an urban power grid. Participants can take on the roles of Energy Alchemist, Grid Architect, and Computing Power Manager, completing tasks involving renewable energy deployment, power grid routing, and data center site selection in a simulated city. By coordinating power generation, grid infrastructure, and electricity demand, participants work together to build an integrated power grid. Those who successfully complete the challenges will receive special gifts.

Taipower's Integrated Power Grid special exhibition will run from today through October 16 at Booth M0519a on the fourth floor of Taipei Nangang Exhibition Center, Hall 1 (October 14 and 15: 10:00-17:00; October 16: 10:00-16:00). A series of seminars will also be held during the exhibition, covering topics such as stable electricity supply and net-zero carbon emissions. Visitors are welcome to explore the exhibition!

      <description><![CDATA[To ensure accurate measurement and transaction fairness for the public purchasing barbecue ingredients and holiday goods ahead of the Mid-Autumn Festival, the Bureau of Standards, Metrology and Inspection (the BSMI) under the Ministry of Economic Affairs (MOEA) conducted spot checks on weighing scales. The BSMI announced today (Sept. 15) that the inspection recorded a compliance rate of 99.9%, successfully safeguarding consumers' wallets for the holiday.

During this special holiday inspection program, the BSMI dispatched personnel to conduct spot checks at 150 locations across Taiwan, covering traditional markets, hypermarkets, supermarkets, and scenic areas. A total of 4,512 weighing scales were inspected, while only one was found to be non-compliant. Inspectors immediately affixed a "suspension-from-use" marking to the non-compliant device at the site. The BSMI will continuously monitor this case until the scale is repaired and passes reverification or is scrapped. If a business operator is found to continue using a non-compliant weighing scale without authorization, a fine of NT$15,000 to NT$75,000 may be imposed in accordance with the Weights and Measures Act.

The BSMI emphasized that weighing scales used in market transactions are measuring instruments subject to mandatory verification under the law. They must undergo verification to ensure measurement accuracy before they may be legally placed on the market for sale or use in transactions. For weighing scales in circulation, the BSMI conducts annual market inspection programs and 

unannounced inspections. If a weighing instrument is found to be inaccurate or not properly verified, the BSMI will take action in accordance with relevant regulations. Through pre-market verification and post-market inspections, the BSMI takes a two-pronged approach to safeguarding consumer rights.

To ensure that citizens can shop accurately and fairly at all times, the BSMI conducts routine checks year-round. Moreover, dedicated inspection projects are launched during Taiwan's three major traditional holidays-the Lunar New Year, the Dragon Boat Festival, and the Mid-Autumn Festival-to reinforce market oversight. Furthermore, the BSMI encourages public supervision. If consumers notice a commercial scale lacking the official verification mark (Picture as attachment file) , or suspect inaccurate weighing during a purchase, they are urged to report the issue via the hotline at 02-23434567. The Bureau will promptly dispatch personnel to investigate, ensuring the rights of both buyers and sellers are fully protected.

      <description><![CDATA[Supported by the Department of Industrial Technology (DoIT) of the Ministry of Economic Affairs (MOEA), the Taiwan Automobility Research Consortium (TARC) held the 22nd Taiwan Automotive International Forum (TAIFE) on October 6. The forum announced major advances in international cooperation, with the Automotive Research & Testing Center (ARTC) partnering with U.S. and German organizations to establish international-grade automotive cybersecurity and connectivity testing facilities in Taiwan. These initiatives strengthen local verification capabilities and help Taiwan's automotive electronics industry expand into global markets.

DoIT Director-General Chao-Chung Kuo said that the rapid development of artificial intelligence (AI), software-defined vehicles (SDVs), and vehicle connectivity has made interoperability and cybersecurity essential to smart vehicle development. Through its A+ Industrial Innovative R&D Program and collaboration with research institutes, DoIT helped China Motor Corporation (CMC) obtain ISO 21434 and ISO 24089 certifications, making it Taiwan's first commercial vehicle manufacturer to receive these certifications from Germany's TUV SUD.

Kuo added that MOEA continues to support critical technologies and testing capabilities through technology development projects, while connecting domestic R&D with international standards and regulations. The U.S. and German partnerships will enable companies to conduct verification locally, reduce barriers to overseas markets, and strengthen Taiwan's smart mobility competitiveness. MOEA will continue to promote R&D, international cooperation, and field validation to accelerate technology deployment and product internationalization.

Industrial Technology Research Institute (ITRI) Executive Vice President and TAIFE Chair Jwu-Sheng Hu said that the global automotive industry is moving toward smarter, software-driven, and low-carbon mobility. ITRI will continue to integrate technologies across disciplines and connect industry partners to help Taiwan translate its technological strengths into a competitive advantage. Under the theme 'Reinventing Mobility,' this year's forum covers AI-enabled connected vehicles, autonomous driving, automotive cybersecurity, testing and validation, new energy, and sustainable mobility. "These areas will shape the next phase of competition in the global smart mobility industry," said Dr. Hu. "Exchanges among domestic and international experts will help companies identify emerging opportunities and accelerate commercialization."

ARTC Chairman and TARC Chair Jerry Wang said that ARTC signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with OmniAir Consortium, an international association promoting testing and certification for intelligent transportation systems and connected vehicles. The partnership will introduce international connected-vehicle verification requirements and develop scenario-based validation and interoperability testing methods.

The initiative will combine ARTC's autonomous vehicle testing facilities with a connected-vehicle testing zone scheduled for completion by the end of 2026, designed to replicate suburban road conditions. It will establish Taiwan's first internationally recognized smart vehicle connectivity testing site, offering local verification for onboard units (OBUs) and roadside units (RSUs). These services will connect technology development, field validation, and commercial deployment, helping Taiwanese suppliers enter international supply chains.

In cooperation with Germany, ARTC signed an MOU with TUV SUD in 2024, witnessed by DoIT. With MOEA support, ARTC established Taiwan's only international-grade automotive cybersecurity laboratory in 2026 and received TUV SUD laboratory recognition in June. The laboratory can conduct testing under UN Regulations Nos. 155 and 156, addressing cybersecurity management systems (CSMS) and software update management systems (SUMS).

The laboratory offers more than 100 test services covering cybersecurity analysis, hardware and software integrity, secure data transmission, and over-the-air (OTA) update procedures. These capabilities enable vehicle manufacturers and component suppliers to complete development testing and verification in Taiwan, reducing the costs and timelines associated with overseas testing. They also help companies prepare for Taiwan's vehicle cybersecurity regulations, scheduled to take effect in 2028, while accelerating access to global markets.

      <title><![CDATA[MOEA and Kaohsiung City Co-host "2026 Energy Transition Integrity and Transparency Summit": Central and Local Governments Join Forces to Strengthen Safeguards for the Energy Transition]]></title>
      <link>https://www.moea.gov.tw/MNS/english/news/News.aspx?kind=6&amp;menu_id=176&amp;news_id=124195</link>
      <description><![CDATA[On August 7, the Ministry of Economic Affairs (MOEA) and Kaohsiung City Government co-hosted the "2026 Energy Transition Integrity and Transparency Summit" to strengthen integrity safeguards and enhance information transparency in the process of energy transition. MOEA Vice Minister Chien-hsin Lai attended the summit, underscoring the shared commitment of central and local government to strengthening safeguards for green energy development.

Vice Minister Lai noted that in the AI era, electricity is computing power; a sufficient supply of green energy will provide strong impetus for the low-carbon transition. Because green energy development involves a wide range of regulatory and public-engagement issues, integrity and transparency are indispensable cornerstones. Since its establishment in May 2025, the "Cross-Sector Integrity Platform for Solar Energy" has actively brought together the Taiwan High Prosecutors Office and the Agency Against Corruption, Ministry of Justice. The platform helps clarify regulatory uncertainties early in the process, prevent inadvertent legal violations by public servants, encourage officials to take initiative within the law, and reduce opportunities for misconduct through institutional safeguards, thereby fostering a clean and fair environment for the green energy industry.

According to the Energy Administration, MOEA, clear nationwide review criteria and effective regulatory harmonization are essential to creating a predictable investment environment. To this end, the Executive Yuan conducts in-depth interministerial consultations, with new rules implemented only after interagency consensus has been reached. Aquavoltaics, for example, requires close coordination across electricity regulation, agriculture, building administration, and land-use management. The integrity platform therefore provides a mechanism for standardizing review criteria, coordinating with local governments, and developing clear standards informed by practical implementation experience to support local-level reviews.

To improve public understanding, the Energy Administration stressed that the Solar PV Transparency and Collaboration Action Platform has added three categories of publicly available information to reduce information asymmetry and address public concerns:

First, greater transparency of geospatial information: Residents can readily see how solar PV has been deployed in their area. The platform publishes geospatial data for Type III solar PV projects of 500 kW or above. Through a geographic information system (GIS), users can view projects under construction or already completed and overlay maps of cadastral, aquavoltaics, and other data layers, improving information transparency while supporting more effective disaster preparedness.

Second, greater transparency on community rights and interests: The platform safeguards local residents' right to know. Since 2024, developers have been required to hold public information sessions before applying for an electricity-enterprise building permit. To ensure that local residents have adequate access to relevant information, the platform consolidates Environmental and Social Review (ESR) information and publishes construction briefing materials, E&S self-assessment forms, and response measures for public access.

Third, greater factual transparency: A dedicated information section addresses issues that are often misunderstood, using scientific evidence and real-world data to resolve public concerns. This includes evidence showing, for example, that floating PV does not adversely affect water quality. During Typhoon Danas, the damage rate for livestock and poultry buildings equipped with PV systems was just 0.1%, compared with 16% for those without PV installations.

Vice Minister Lai emphasized that issues raised by industry representatives and local governments at the forum would continue to be followed up through the integrity platform meetings. The Fisheries Agency and Energy Administration will also be tasked with enhancing review process efficiency. In addition, the Diversified Green Energy Awards, to be presented at this year's Energy Taiwan, will recognize outstanding industry professionals and showcase exemplary demonstration projects, helping successful practices gain wider adoption across the sector.

In response to the wide-ranging challenges of the energy transition, the forum brought together representatives from the Ministry of Agriculture, Ministry of Justice, Kaohsiung City Government, China Steel Corporation (CSC), and Taiwan Power Company (Taipower) for cross-sector dialogue. Over its first year of operation, the "Cross-Sector Integrity Platform for Solar Energy" has produced tangible results in effectively preventing fraud and corruption, standardizing review criteria, and addressing public concerns through the transparent disclosure of empirical data.

MOEA hopes the event will further strengthen collaboration on integrity, information transparency, and cross-sector governance. Going forward, it will continue to broadly gather feedback from judicial authorities, local governments, businesses, and state-owned enterprises to foster an energy-transition environment defined by integrity, transparency, and efficient governance, and to work together toward a fair, transparent, and sustainable energy future.

      <description><![CDATA[Coal-fired Units 1 and 2 at Taichung Power Plant were shut down on September 30, marking the end of their power generation service. The units were officially retired on October 1, with dismantling work commencing the same day. Taiwan Power Company (Taipower) held a blessing ceremony today (7th) to pray for the smooth progress of the 28-month dismantling project. Taipower emphasized its commitment to complying with occupational safety and environmental protection requirements throughout the project, which is expected to be completed in early 2029.

Taipower stated that coal-fired Units 1 and 2, with a combined installed capacity of 1.1 million kilowatts (kW), have been major contributors to Taiwan's electricity supply since entering service in 1990. Over their 36 years of operation, the two units generated nearly 280 billion kilowatt-hours (kWh) of electricity, providing a stable power supply for industries and households in central Taiwan. Throughout this period, Taipower pursued its coal consumption and emissions reduction goals through three phases: Air Pollution Control, Increasing Gas and Reducing Coal, and Coal-to-Gas Transition, balancing the need for a reliable electricity supply with environmental protection. With new gas-fired generating units at Taichung Power Plant progressively coming online, the two coal-fired units have now completed their mission and been retired. Taipower has simultaneously initiated dismantling operations, continuing to fulfill its commitment to energy transition and coal reduction.

Taipower explained that the dismantling project involves the removal of large-scale heavy equipment and extensive work at height, covering the seawater pump house area, boiler house and turbine building areas, as well as the 252-meter-high chimney area. Dismantling work will proceed simultaneously across these areas, with Taipower ensuring compliance with occupational safety and environmental protection requirements to ensure the project progresses safely and steadily. The entire dismantling project is expected to be completed in early 2029, after which the site will be used for the Phase II Gas-Fired Power Generation Project at Taichung Power Plant.

      <description><![CDATA[To enhance power system resilience, Taiwan Power Company (Taipower) has partnered with Taiwan Electrical and Mechanical Engineering Services (TEMES), an organization with over 40 years of extensive expertise in electrical power technologies, to conduct a series of technical exchange seminars for personnel responsible for the operation and maintenance of electrical equipment across various industries. Following seminars held throughout northern, central, and southern Taiwan, Taipower convened senior executives from the transportation, healthcare, and retail sectors today (5th) for the Taiwan Power School Forum. Through professional exchanges and case studies, participants explored ways to improve power quality and strengthen the operation and maintenance management of customers' electrical equipment. Taipower also proposed five key measures: Applying for Standby Power Supply, Enhancing Backup Systems, Conducting Regular Inspections, Maintaining Proper Equipment Operating Environments, and Strengthening Personnel Training. Through these initiatives, Taipower aims to work with electricity users to reinforce power resilience down to the last mile.

Taipower emphasized that maintaining a stable and reliable electricity supply is its foremost responsibility. In addition to actively advancing diversified power generation and grid infrastructure projects, Taipower continues to strengthen power grid resilience through the replacement of aging equipment, the adoption of smart technologies, and measures to prevent power outages caused by contact with foreign objects. According to Taipower's statistics, the number of distribution system outage incidents declined by approximately 70%, from a peak of 21,019 incidents in 2012 to 6,191 in 2025.

Taipower pointed out that the power grid connects electricity suppliers and users, with electricity delivered through power lines and electrical equipment operated by both Taipower and its customers. Just as Taipower's infrastructure is subject to aging, deterioration, and contact with foreign objects, customers' electrical equipment faces similar risks. Ensuring greater power system reliability therefore requires the active cooperation of electricity users. This is particularly important for critical electricity users, such as transportation operators, healthcare institutions, telecommunications providers, and large shopping centers, where equipment malfunctions can have far-reaching consequences. Establishing close coordination channels and rapid response mechanisms between Taipower and its customers is therefore essential to further strengthening overall power system resilience.

For customers providing essential public services and services critical to daily life, electrical equipment is an integral part of their operations. Any equipment malfunction could potentially disrupt the continuity of their services. Therefore, electrical safety is not just an issue of equipment reliability but also an issue of operational management. To help customers strengthen equipment management and risk control, Taipower has proposed five key measures: Applying for Standby Power Supply, Enhancing Backup Systems, Conducting Regular Inspections, Maintaining Proper Equipment Operating Environments, and Strengthening Personnel Training.

Taipower recommends that customers assess their electricity consumption characteristics and consider applying for a backup power supply line equipped with an automatic transfer switch (ATS), allowing them to quickly switch to an unaffected power supply line in the event of an unexpected incident. For critical facilities, Taipower also recommends installing on-site backup generators and uninterruptible power supply (UPS) systems to ensure power continuity. In addition, customers are advised to install voltage regulation equipment to mitigate voltage sags that may result from lightning strikes, salt contamination, and other environmental hazards, while proactively replacing aging electrical equipment to enhance power supply reliability.

In addition to strengthening power supply resilience, the operation and maintenance of customers' electrical equipment are equally important. Taipower advises customers to conduct infrared thermographic inspections every six months and perform comprehensive annual inspections of their privately owned electrical lines, including insulation resistance and dielectric withstand voltage testing, with the equipment de-energized to identify potential risks before failures occur. To prevent damage caused by rodents and other animals, Taipower also recommends sealing cable and conduit openings and installing rodent barriers and snake-proof mesh. Furthermore, regular training programs should be conducted to strengthen the emergency response and troubleshooting capabilities of electrical and mechanical maintenance personnel.

Taipower emphasized that strengthening power resilience on the customer side requires not only technical expertise but also the commitment and support of corporate management. Through this forum, Taipower hopes to facilitate face-to-face discussions and exchanges with senior executives from various industries. Serving as a platform for communication and knowledge sharing between electricity suppliers and users, the Taiwan Power School will continue to organize technical exchange seminars on topics such as electrical safety education and lessons learned from power outage incidents. Through these collaborative efforts, Taipower aims to work closely with its customers to build a safer, more reliable, and more resilient power grid.

      <description><![CDATA[The Bureau of Industrial Parks (BIP) of the Ministry of Economic Affairs (MOEA) held the "2026 Industrial Park Development Policy Summit Forum" on August 29, under the theme "Smart Governance and the Transformation and Development of Industrial Parks." The forum brought together representatives from the National Science and Technology Council (NSTC), Taiwan's six special municipalities, as well as government, industry, academia, and research institutions to exchange views and experiences. Discussions focused on AI applications, smart governance, low-carbon transformation, and industrial cluster development, fostering a shared vision between central and local governments for advancing the transformation and upgrading of industrial parks. Through cross-sector resource integration and experience sharing, the forum aims to further strengthen industrial linkages and the competitiveness of industrial parks, injecting new momentum into Taiwan's industrial upgrading, supply chain resilience, and international expansion.

Minister of MOEA Ming-Hsin Kung said that Taiwan's industrial parks have continuously evolved in response to changing needs over the years, from the early Export Processing Zones and industrial parks to science parks, and have consistently served as a key pillar of economic development. In response to emerging needs, Taiwan should continue to enhance the quality of industrial park management and services, adopt new technologies such as AI, and strengthen industrial clustering and administrative efficiency. Minister Kung further noted that the development of industrial clusters and the high efficiency of Taiwan's industrial parks have attracted international attention. This includes Taiwan's expertise in semiconductor industry development, its commitment to democratic and liberal values and resilience, as well as its industrial cluster model. Looking ahead, industrial clustering can evolve from "intra-park clustering" within individual parks to "inter-park clustering" across different industrial parks, and further to "cross-border clustering" as Taiwanese companies expand their global presence. This approach will connect domestic and international capabilities in materials, equipment, and supply chains. The MOEA will also sign a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with the Taiwan Electrical and Electronic Manufacturers' Association (TEEMA) to jointly promote the development of overseas industrial clusters. Through international cooperation and the sharing of Taiwan's experience in industrial park management, administrative efficiency, and industrial clustering, Taiwan's industrial park model can be brought to the global stage and developed into an international benchmark.

The Bureau of Industrial Parks (BIP) stated that the forum specially invited representatives from the governments of Taiwan's six special municipalities to share their practical experience in local governance, demonstrating how AI computing power, digital twins, and low-carbon transformation can be deeply integrated into industrial spaces, public infrastructure management, and urban development. Traditional industries remain an important pillar of employment and economic development in Taiwan. In the face of the AI revolution, Taiwan should seize the opportunities created by technological innovation and leverage AI as a catalyst for upgrading traditional industries, thereby enhancing the overall competitiveness of industrial parks. BIP hopes to establish a regular platform for central-local government collaboration, facilitating exchanges on industrial park development issues, supporting businesses in upgrading, transformation, and development, and building resilient, innovative, and sustainable industrial ecosystems.

      <description><![CDATA[Another major step forward in ensuring a stable and reliable electricity supply! Taiwan Power Company (Taipower) held a groundbreaking and blessing ceremony for the Songhu Extra-High-Voltage Substation and Multipurpose Building today (24th). Taipower Chairman Tseng Wen-Sheng led company executives and the construction team in offering prayers for the project's successful completion, marking the official start of construction on this critical power infrastructure project after 26 years of planning and development. Taipower stated that the Songhu Substation is scheduled for completion in 2029 and will serve as a major power transmission hub for the Eastern District of Taipei, strengthening power grid resilience and providing a stable and reliable electricity supply to support urban and industrial development in the Nangang and Neihu districts.

Taipower pointed out that the implementation of the Taipei East Gateway Project, along with the rapid growth of industries in the Neihu Technology Park and Nangang Economic and Trade Park, has driven a substantial increase in electricity demand. As the existing Xizhi Substation in New Taipei City has reached its load capacity limit, the construction of the Songhu Substation will establish a critical power supply hub for the Eastern District of Taipei. The new substation will help alleviate power transmission congestion in the Nangang and Neihu districts while supplying electricity to these areas and supporting public transportation infrastructure, including the Songshan and Minsheng-Xizhi MRT lines. The project will further enhance power grid resilience and electricity supply reliability.

Taipower stated that it began planning the Songhu Substation more than 20 years ago as a proactive measure to address future electricity demand, with the project approved for implementation by the Executive Yuan in 2000. To gain public understanding and support, Taipower has held more than 100 public consultation and information sessions, as well as organized visits to substations. Following years of public engagement and administrative procedures, the Taipei City Government issued the construction permit in 2023. To alleviate power supply bottlenecks in the Nangang and Neihu districts as early as possible, Taipower promptly initiated the planning and construction of a temporary substation, which was completed and began supplying electricity at the end of 2025. With construction of the Songhu Substation officially commencing today, the project marks another significant milestone in strengthening the power grid in northeastern Taipei, reflecting the dedication of successive generations of Taipower employees to ensuring a stable and reliable electricity supply.

The development of the Songhu Substation has not been easy. Over the past 26 years, the project has spanned the administrations of four Taipei mayors, during which Taipower personnel have continued to engage with stakeholders and revise project plans in response to diverse opinions and concerns. Taipower pointed out that, during the fifth urban design review in September 2022, the main substation design failed to secure approval, leaving only 30 days to submit revised documentation. Taipower immediately worked with its consulting team to revise the design, working around the clock to complete and submit the required documents within the deadline. The project subsequently passed the urban design review in November of the same year. While the approval may have appeared to the public as just another stage in the project's development, for the Taipower employees who had been involved throughout the process, it represented years of dedicated effort and marked a critical step toward the construction of the Songhu Substation.

Taipower explained that the Songhu Substation will feature an underground design, with its electrical substation equipment housed below ground level. The above-ground structure will incorporate community-oriented public facilities, including a parking facility, an infant daycare center, an adult day care center, and landscaped gardens, creating a multipurpose building that integrates open spaces, recreational amenities, and social welfare services. In addition, the Songhu Substation will be equipped with a real-time electromagnetic field (EMF) monitoring system. By making scientifically measured data publicly available in a transparent manner, Taipower aims to build public trust and alleviate concerns about electromagnetic fields.

Taipower further explained that the Songhu Temporary Substation was completed at the end of 2025 and has helped maintain a stable electricity supply in the region through measures such as load transfers and equipment capacity upgrades. The permanent Songhu Substation is scheduled for completion in 2029. When completed, it will further alleviate loading on existing substations and enhance operational flexibility in power supply dispatch across the Nangang and Neihu districts.

Taipower emphasized that a reliable electricity supply is essential to urban competitiveness and that power infrastructure development plays a critical role in supporting both residential needs and industrial growth. Taipower expressed its hope to continue collaborating with the Taipei City Government and local stakeholders to accelerate the development of key power infrastructure projects, including the Beitou Shilin Technology Park Substation, creating mutually beneficial outcomes for urban development and electricity supply reliability.

      <link>https://www.moea.gov.tw/MNS/english/news/News.aspx?kind=6&amp;menu_id=176&amp;news_id=124046</link>
      <description><![CDATA[The Taiwan Innotech Expo (TIE) 2026, a premier showcase of cutting-edge innovations, opens on September 17 at the Taipei World Trade Center Exhibition Hall 1. At the Innovation Economy Pavilion, the Department of Industrial Technology (DoIT) of the Ministry of Economic Affairs (MOEA) has brought together more than 13 research institutes and industry partners to present 64 technologies.

Among the featured innovations is the 3.2T Silicon Photonics (SiPh) Optical Engine Technology, developed by the Industrial Technology Research Institute (ITRI) with support from DoIT. 

As demand for AI computing continues to surge, the volume of data moving through data centers is also growing rapidly, pushing conventional copper interconnects toward their bandwidth limits. The challenge is comparable to growing traffic overwhelming a city's roads: adding more lanes can help only so much. A fundamentally more efficient way of moving data is needed.

ITRI's 3.2T SiPh Optical Engine Technology addresses this challenge by using light rather than electrical signals to transmit data through multiple integrated high-speed channels. It delivers a total transmission capacity of 3.2 Tbps, or approximately 400 GB per second-twice the capacity of the previous 1.6T generation and equivalent to the data volume of about 20 4K movies. Light-based transmission also reduces signal loss and heat generation compared with conventional copper interconnects.

To accelerate commercialization, ITRI has assembled a network of more than 20 supply chain partners spanning chip design, fabrication, testing, and packaging. ITRI has also collaborated with international companies to advance specifications for 3.2T technology. These efforts are strengthening Taiwan's competitiveness in the global AI optical communications supply chain.

DoIT-supported innovation is also addressing pressing healthcare needs. Taiwan has nearly 97,000 dialysis patients and one of the world's highest dialysis rates relative to population. Among the various uremic toxins, middle-to-large-molecule toxins are known to be closely associated with chronic inflammation, cardiovascular disease, and other health risks.

Conventional testing requires blood samples to be collected before and after dialysis and sent to a laboratory for analysis. Results take three hours and often become available only after the treatment session has ended, limiting physicians' ability to make timely adjustments.

To address this problem, ITRI has developed DiaTrack, a middle-to-large-molecule uremic toxin detection technology, also with support from DoIT. DiaTrack connects directly to the effluent port of a dialysis machine and analyzes toxin types and concentrations every 15 minutes. This gives physicians timely insight into toxin clearance while treatment is underway and provides data to support personalized adjustments to dialysis settings, shifting dialysis quality assessment from post-treatment evaluation to in-treatment monitoring. 

The technology has completed proof-of-concept testing in collaboration with National Cheng Kung University Hospital. The collaborative work received a National Innovation Award, and a pilot deployment at the hospital is planned for the fourth quarter of 2026.]]></description>

      <title><![CDATA[Strengthening EV Charging Equipment Management to Ensure Safe Charging and Accurate Measurement]]></title>
      <link>https://www.moea.gov.tw/MNS/english/news/News.aspx?kind=6&amp;menu_id=176&amp;news_id=123969</link>
      <description><![CDATA[The Bureau of Standards, Metrology and Inspection (BSMI) of the Ministry of Economic Affairs held a press conference today (September 9) to explain that, as the electric vehicle sector continues to develop and EV charging equipment becomes more widely deployed, the Ministry has progressively established regulatory frameworks for charging equipment safety and measurement accuracy. In addition to developing national standards aligned with international standards and introducing testing and certification mechanisms to ensure equipment safety, the Ministry has brought EV charging equipment used for billing by kilowatt-hour under legal metrology control to ensure fair transactions.

The BSMI stated that, in response to global trends in electric vehicles and domestic policy needs, it has actively worked since 2011 to harmonize domestic standards with international standards and has progressively developed and revised technical specifications and national standards related to EV charging equipment. To date, 29 standards and technical specifications have been published, covering electrical safety, electromagnetic compatibility (EMC), communication interoperability, cybersecurity, and metrological verification. The BSMI has also designated six laboratories to conduct the relevant testing, thereby establishing a comprehensive standards and testing framework.

With respect to the inspection mechanism, the BSMI initially introduced the Voluntary Product Certification (VPC) Program for AC slow-charging equipment in 2013 and for DC fast-charging equipment in 2022 to support the development of domestic industry during the early stage of Taiwan's EV policy. As EV charging equipment is increasingly installed in residential settings, small residential models rated at 30 kW or below has been subject to mandatory inspection in July 2026 to ensure charging safety. The scope will be expanded to equipment rated at 750 kW or below in 2028. EV charging equipment has thus formally entered the mandatory inspection regime. Before being placed on the market, products must complete the applicable conformity assessment procedures in accordance with inspection standards, and post-market inspections will be conducted to strengthen oversight.

The BSMI further noted that Taiwan is among the earlier economies to have established metrological safeguards for EV charging transactions. Since January 1, 2023, in recognition of the use of EV charging equipment in commercial transactions, equipment used for billing by kilowatt-hour has been regulated as a legal measuring instrument and subject to mandatory verification. Each unit must pass metrological verification before release from the factory. As of the end of August 2026, verification had been completed for a cumulative total of 14,479 charging connectors. The BSMI has also established a market inspection plan for EV charging equipment in service to ensure the accuracy of electricity measurements at public charging facilities.

The BSMI concluded that large electric buses, electric trucks, and other commercial vehicles are driving demand for megawatt (MW)-level charging, alongside the development of bidirectional power transfer technologies. Through forward-looking planning under technology development programs, the BSMI will continue to monitor international developments, periodically review national standards, and expand domestic testing capacity. Local testing services are planned to be available by 2030, helping industry reduce the cost and shorten the time required for certification.

      <title><![CDATA[Taiwan Unveils Medium- and Long-Term Offshore Wind Power Development Roadmap to Steadily Expand Green Electricity Supply for Industry]]></title>
      <link>https://www.moea.gov.tw/MNS/english/news/News.aspx?kind=6&amp;menu_id=176&amp;news_id=123961</link>
      <description><![CDATA[As Taiwan's semiconductor, artificial intelligence (AI), and high-tech industries continue to grow, the projected average annual growth rate of electricity demand from 2026 to 2035 has risen to 2.5%. Offshore wind power will therefore become an important source for the stable supply of green electricity.

Under Taiwan's three-phase offshore wind power development strategy, beginning with the "Demonstration Incentive Program," followed by "Zones of Potential," and then "Zonal Development," Taiwan has installed more than 500 offshore wind turbines, with a cumulative installed capacity of approximately 4.9 GW.

To build on previous achievements while meeting future demand for green electricity and supporting industrial development, the Ministry of Economic Affairs (MOEA) has proposed the "Medium- and Long-Term Offshore Wind Power Development Plan for 2026-2039." Through interministerial cooperation, the government will identify suitable maritime areas and expects to add approximately 15-18 GW of developable capacity.

Selection rounds will be conducted every four years, with 8 GW of capacity to be released in each round. This approach is intended to complete the selection of developers before 2030 and establish a stable and predictable long-term development mechanism. Taiwan aims to achieve a cumulative installed capacity of 18.3-19.9 GW by 2035 and 24.7-27.9 GW by 2039. This will continuously expand the supply of green electricity and ensure steady progress toward Taiwan's net-zero emissions target by 2050.

The MOEA stated that, through systematic interministerial coordination with the Ministry of National Defense, Ministry of Transportation and Communications, Ministry of Agriculture, and other agencies, the government has reviewed the maritime areas suitable for offshore wind development. Approximately 15-18 GW of additional developable capacity is expected to be included in the "Medium- and Long-Term Offshore Wind Power Development Plan for 2026-2039."

Selection rounds will be conducted every four years, with approximately 8 GW of capacity released in each round. Taiwan also plans to begin launching floating offshore wind power development in 2026. The government will continue to advance offshore wind development through four key pillars to establish a stable investment environment:
1. Clear policies: Clearly define Taiwan's offshore wind policy objectives and its development pathway for 2026-2039.
2. Industrial development: Guide industrial growth and foster local manufacturing, service, and related industries.
3. Financial support: leverage green finance support mechanisms and improve the financing and investment environment for green energy projects.
4. Administrative efficiency: Strengthen interministerial coordination and streamline project application procedures through administrative measures.

The MOEA further explained that, as of July 10, 2026, eight offshore wind farms had been completed in Taiwan. In 2025, Taiwan ranked third worldwide in newly installed offshore wind capacity and fifth in cumulative installed capacity, while annual offshore wind power generation exceeded 10 billion kWh.

Taiwan's operational offshore wind farms have maintained stable operations despite several powerful typhoons and major earthquakes, demonstrating the quality of Taiwan's offshore wind engineering and its resilience to extreme environmental conditions.

Through clear policy objectives and close interministerial cooperation, the government will continue to foster a favorable investment environment, steadily advance offshore wind development, and ensure a stable supply of green electricity. These efforts will support the global expansion of Taiwan's industries while enhancing energy security and environmental sustainability.

      <title><![CDATA[Taipower Partners with Taiwan Biodiversity Information Alliance to Release Marine Ecological Monitoring Data for the First Time, Sharing Over 30 Years of Data to Support Ecological Research]]></title>
      <link>https://www.moea.gov.tw/MNS/english/news/News.aspx?kind=6&amp;menu_id=176&amp;news_id=124403</link>
      <description><![CDATA[To promote transparency and information sharing in marine ecological data, Taiwan Power Company (Taipower) signed a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) with the Taiwan Biodiversity Information Alliance (TBIA) Committee today (11th), formally establishing a partnership. Taipower announced that it will progressively make available more than 30 years of accumulated marine ecological monitoring data, which will be uploaded to the TBIA integrated platform beginning next year for public access and use. This initiative will make Taipower's long-term ecological monitoring findings available beyond its power facilities through a broader information-sharing platform, contributing to marine ecological conservation and sustainability research in Taiwan.

The signing ceremony was attended by Taipower President Kuo Tien-Ho and Yang Chia-Tung, Chairperson of the TBIA Committee, who jointly signed the MOA. Taipower pointed out that many of Taiwan's major power facilities are located along the coast, as large power plants require seawater for heat exchange in their cooling systems. To assess the potential impacts of power plant operations on surrounding marine ecosystems, Taipower began collaborating with research teams on marine ecological monitoring at an early stage. Taiwan's first large-scale marine ecological research project focused on the marine ecosystem surrounding the Chinshan Nuclear Power Plant. Taipower subsequently expanded its efforts to promote ecological coexistence to other power facilities, accumulating decades of marine ecological survey data.

Taipower stated that it has long been committed to ecological conservation and has promoted the integration of biodiversity conservation into its power facilities, in line with the international concept of Other Effective Area-Based Conservation Measures (OECMs), which extends conservation efforts beyond legally designated protected areas. These efforts have led to terrestrial conservation and coexistence site certifications and the recognition of marine areas as effective conservation areas. Through its latest partnership with TBIA, Taipower will further advance ecological data sharing by integrating more than 30 years of accumulated ecological survey data into Taiwan's broader biodiversity information-sharing network, enhancing the practical value of the data.

Taipower explained that TBIA is dedicated to integrating biodiversity information across Taiwan and has established a unified biodiversity database search system that consolidates ecological survey data from various government agencies and research institutions for public access. TBIA's members span multiple government ministries and academic institutions, including the Taiwan Biodiversity Research Institute, Forestry and Nature Conservation Agency, Ocean Conservation Administration, and Water Resources Agency under the Ministry of Economic Affairs. Through cross-agency and interdisciplinary data integration and sharing, TBIA aims to enhance the practical value of biodiversity data.

Taipower emphasized that ecological conservation requires long-term monitoring, scientific research, and cross-sector collaboration. The extensive data accumulated through Taipower's marine ecological surveys over the years not only provides an important foundation for environmental management at its power facilities but also holds significant value for broader ecological research and conservation efforts. Through this partnership with TBIA, Taipower's power facilities will serve not only as vital infrastructure supporting Taiwan's development but also as valuable national assets for biodiversity conservation and scientific research, contributing to a more comprehensive and detailed picture of Taiwan's ecological resources.

      <title><![CDATA[Milestone in Increasing Gas and Reducing Coal at Taichung Power Plant: Two New Gas-Fired Units Reach Full Load Simultaneously, with Dismantling of Two Coal-Fired Units to Begin in October]]></title>
      <link>https://www.moea.gov.tw/MNS/english/news/News.aspx?kind=6&amp;menu_id=176&amp;news_id=124404</link>
      <description><![CDATA[Premier Cho Jung-tai visited Taichung Power Plant today (4th), where Taiwan Power Company (Taipower) announced that the plant's two new Phase I gas-fired generating units, Units 1 and 2, had operated simultaneously at 100% of their rated capacity for the first time. Taipower also announced that dismantling work on the plant's existing coal-fired Units 1 and 2 would officially begin in October. In accordance with its established plans, Taipower is taking concrete action to fulfill its coal reduction commitments and advance Taiwan's energy transition, working toward its goal of eliminating coal-fired power generation at Taichung Power Plant by 2034. Taipower emphasized that, as one of the most dedicated contributors to coal and air pollution reduction in Taichung City, it also hopes to gain the city government's support for the development of high-efficiency power infrastructure with lower air pollutant emissions, and work together with the city government to ensure a reliable electricity supply while improving air quality in Taichung.

During his remarks at the event, Minister of Economic Affairs Kung Ming-hsin expressed two points of appreciation, one directive, and two requests. First, he thanked Premier Cho Jung-tai and the Executive Yuan for their support of Taichung Power Plant's efforts to expand gas-fired generation and reduce coal consumption. He also expressed his gratitude to all Taipower employees for overcoming numerous challenges to accomplish this demanding task. However, in anticipation of future growth in electricity demand, the Ministry of Economic Affairs has revised its electricity demand growth projections and, following further instructions from Premier Cho, further increased its projections to account for potentially higher demand growth. Accordingly, Minister Kung instructed Taipower to ensure that Phase II of the project, in addition to Phase I, proceeds on schedule and meets the required quality standards.

Minister Kung further emphasized that the subsequent phases of the project would require regulatory approvals and expressed his hope that the local governments would provide its support. In addition, he noted that Taipower is responsible not only for maintaining a stable electricity supply but also for supporting government policies aimed at stabilizing consumer prices. He therefore called on the Legislative Yuan to support Taipower's supplementary budget request.

Taipower explained that rapid industrial expansion and urban development in Taichung City in recent years have driven a continued surge in electricity demand. In 2025, the city's electricity consumption reached nearly 35 billion kilowatt-hours (kWh), accounting for approximately 15% of Taiwan's total electricity consumption. Taichung has ranked first nationwide in electricity consumption for seven consecutive years. Since 2019, the city's existing coal-fired generating units have been unable to meet local electricity demand, making it necessary to rely on power supplied from other cities and counties. To ensure a reliable electricity supply for industrial and public needs, Taipower has proactively implemented the government's plans to develop new gas-fired generating units. Under its established roadmap, Taipower is pursuing its pollution reduction and coal phase-out goals at Taichung Power Plant through three stages: Air Pollution Control, Increasing Gas and Reducing Coal, and Coal-to-Gas Transition.

Taipower further pointed out that, to balance electricity supply reliability with environmental sustainability, it has continued to improve air quality through a range of measures, including environmentally optimized power dispatch, equipment performance upgrades, and the substitution of natural gas for coal. Since launching its environmental emissions reduction projects in 2017, Taipower has invested NT$44.1 billion in upgrading air pollution control equipment at its generating units. Compared with 2017 levels, these efforts have reduced coal consumption by 7.39 million metric tons and air pollutant emissions by more than 28,000 metric tons, achieving an 80% reduction in air pollutant emissions. Taichung Power Plant has also achieved the highest air pollutant emissions reduction rate among all stationary pollution sources in Taichung City, far surpassing other facilities. Furthermore, the Taichung City Government announced earlier this year that the city's air quality in the first quarter of 2026 was the best on record, highlighting the outstanding results of these ongoing efforts.

Regarding Phase I of the new gas-fired power generation project, Taipower explained that despite challenges such as global inflation, progress has been made through interministerial coordination and improvements in construction methods. The new gas-fired Unit 1 became available for power dispatch in May and is expected to commence commercial operation by the end of September. Meanwhile, the new gas-fired Unit 2 is undergoing trial operations and is expected to become available for power dispatch in October, with commercial operation targeted for March 2027. To commemorate this significant milestone in Taichung Power Plant's Increasing Gas and Reducing Coal initiative, the chimneys of the new generating units have been specially decorated with artwork depicting the locally significant little tern taking flight with its head held high.

For Phase II of the new gas-fired power generation project, Taipower plans to construct four high-efficiency combined-cycle gas turbine generating units within the existing plant site, with a total installed capacity of approximately 4.8-5.2 million kilowatts (kW). The project has passed its environmental impact assessment, and Taipower is actively carrying out ground improvement works and tendering for major power generation equipment. In addition, Taipower has also launched a Procurement Integrity Platform initiative. The new generating units are scheduled to come online progressively between 2031 and 2034, accompanied by the phased retirement of existing coal-fired units, enabling Taipower to steadily achieve its goal of eliminating coal-fired power generation at Taichung Power Plant by 2034.

Taipower emphasized that it will continue to upgrade its generating units and implement the three key development objectives for Taichung Power Plant outlined by Premier Cho Jung-tai: "eliminating coal-fired power generation by the end of 2034, transitioning existing coal-fired units to emergency standby status, and reassessing the number of emergency standby units in 2032." Recognizing that power infrastructure development requires time, Taipower will steadily advance its investments and projects in accordance with established goals, while maintaining a stable electricity supply, taking local community concerns into account, and promoting environmental sustainability. Taipower also expressed its hope that stakeholders across all sectors will support energy infrastructure development to foster continuous growth and prosperity for both industry and local communities.

In addition, responding to concerns that Taipower's coal-related budget for next year is NT$10 billion higher than this year's, Taipower firmly clarified that it remains committed to implementing the government's Increasing Gas and Reducing Coal policy. Coal consumption is projected to decrease by nearly 800,000 metric tons next year compared with this year, with coal-fired power generation continuing to decline while gas-fired power generation increases. However, rising average international coal prices have necessitated an increase in the overall budget allocation. Taipower urged the public not to draw misleading conclusions from selective data or spread inaccurate information.

AI-Optimized Metalens Imaging Breaks Into Global Supply Chains
In line with the government's "AI Across Industries" policy, DoIT's pavilion features a range of AI applications, demonstrating how artificial intelligence is being put to work across different sectors. One example is AI-optimized laptop camera lens imaging technology that enables a thinner lens while maintaining sharp image quality. ITRI's Ultra-thin Structure NanoOptics Chip Technology for Visual Sensing Applications uses a monolithic metalens to overcome the bulkiness of traditional multi-element lenses. Combining semiconductor manufacturing processes with AI to enhance image clarity, the technology reduces lens thickness from the conventional 2.3-3mm down to just 1.3mm. It has already been adopted by Ability opto-Electronics Technology, a leading laptop lens manufacturer, which has integrated the technology into facial-recognition login modules for ultra-thin laptops. The solution has also been adopted by a major U.S. laptop brand. Looking ahead, the technology is expected to expand into visible-light and thermal-infrared imaging applications.
 
AI Reads Clam Shell Movements to Safeguard Water Quality for Over 2 Million People
AI is also being applied to water quality monitoring, turning clams into biological sentinels for water systems serving more than 2 million people. The Digital Twin Technology for Bio-Water Quality Sensing, developed by III, addresses the high cost traditionally associated with deploying multiple types of water quality sensors. The technology uses freshwater clams as biological sensors, taking advantage of their relatively stable behavioral responses. Cameras non-invasively monitor the clams' shell movements, while AI analyzes subtle behavioral cues, opening-and-closing patterns, and abnormal group behavior to detect water quality changes in real time. The technology is already deployed at the Bansin Water Treatment Plant, the Sanxia River Pumping Station, and the Shoufeng Water Treatment Plant, which together serve more than 2 million people. It has also been licensed to KETECH Scientific Instrument, extending its use to water quality monitoring for critical processes in high-tech industries such as semiconductors, printed circuit boards, and precision machining.

Through the exhibition, DoIT aims to accelerate the adoption of more innovative technologies and bring new momentum into industrial upgrading across central and southern Taiwan.]]></description>

      <title><![CDATA[Toy Inspection Mobilization: Safeguarding Children's Safety]]></title>
      <link>https://www.moea.gov.tw/MNS/english/news/News.aspx?kind=6&amp;menu_id=176&amp;news_id=123685</link>
      <description><![CDATA[To ensure that toys are safe to purchase and use, the Bureau of Standards, Metrology and Inspection (BSMI) and the Taiwan Intellectual Property Office (TIPO) under the Ministry of Economic Affairs jointly held a press conference on August 12. The BSMI explained toy inspection requirements and the relevant management system, while the TIPO outlined regulations concerning trademarks and copyright.

The BSMI explained that, under the national standards, a toy is defined as any product designed, manufactured, sold, displayed, or labeled for play by children under 14 years of age. At present, 31 categories of toys are subject to mandatory inspection. Before importation or release from the factory, such products must comply with inspection requirements and bear the Commodity Inspection Mark before they may be placed on the domestic market. Major inspection items include chemical properties, such as phthalate plasticizers and heavy metals; mechanical and physical characteristics, such as small parts and sharp edges; electrical properties, such as short-circuit protection and insulation; biological properties, such as aerobic plate count; and warnings as well as labeling. These requirements are intended to ensure toy safety and reduce risks to children during use.

The BSMI emphasized that it conducts annual market surveillance and sample-purchase testing on products in circulation, with particular attention to newly emerging and popular toys. Products found to have bypassed required inspection procedures are subject to fines of NT$200,000 to NT$2 million. Where the total value of the noncompliant products is less than NT$100,000, a fine of NT$10,000 to NT$100,000 may be imposed, together with an order to recall and rectify the products within a specified period. Failure to complete the recall and corrective action by the deadline may result in an additional fine of NT$100,000 to NT$1 million.

The BSMI noted that information on defective toys announced overseas, including notices from the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) and the EU Safety Gate, is published on the BSMI's Product Safety Information website. The BSMI also notifies the Ministry of Health and Welfare to alert the public and relevant childcare institutions to stop using such products immediately. Domestic e-commerce platforms are also requested to remove such products as a precautionary measure, helping prevent unsafe toys from circulating and jointly strengthening the safety net for children.

The BSMI further stated that, as toy products continue to diversify and new products are constantly introduced, a wide range of usage risks may arise. It will continue to monitor developments in international standards, assess the characteristics and potential hazards of emerging products, and review inspection requirements on a rolling basis to further strengthen children's safety.

With respect to intellectual property protection, the TIPO reminded the public that toys or their packaging bearing unauthorized artistic designs constitute pirated goods under the Copyright Act, and the importation or sale of such goods may infringe copyright. Likewise, the use of the same or a similar registered trademark on goods without the consent of the trademark owner may constitute trademark infringement. Furthermore, the quality of such pirated toys is highly questionable. Members of the public who discover suspected infringing goods may submit relevant evidence and report the matter to the Intellectual Property Rights Investigation Corps of the Criminal Investigation Bureau, National Police Agency, Ministry of the Interior; local police authorities or police stations; or by calling the 110 emergency hotline.

The Ministry of Economic Affairs urges all sectors to support genuinely licensed toys and jointly protect intellectual property rights. When purchasing toys, consumers should select products that bear the Commodity Inspection Mark, have complete Chinese-language labeling, and are suitable for the child's age. Before use, consumers should carefully read the Chinese labeling and warnings. Children should not be allowed to bite or chew toys to avoid ingesting harmful substances, and attention should be paid to potential hazards involving small parts, magnets, batteries, cords, sharp edges, and sharp points. After use, children should be reminded to wash their hands, and the toy should be checked for integrity. If any damage, loose parts, or other abnormal condition is found, use should be discontinued immediately. In addition, toy safety awareness videos and a handbook on common toy hazards have been prepared and published on the BSMI website for public reference.

      <description><![CDATA[In the scorching summer heat, how can air conditioners be used most efficiently to save electricity? Taiwan Power Company (Taipower) held a press conference on Debunking Seven Common Myths About Summer Energy Conservation at the Ministry of Economic Affairs today (18th), addressing common misconceptions about air conditioner energy-saving methods circulating on the internet. Taipower stated that conserving electricity does not mean sacrificing comfort. Instead, adopting proper energy-saving practices and minimizing unnecessary energy consumption can help reduce electricity bills while promoting environmental sustainability.

Regarding air conditioner fan speed and temperature settings, Taipower pointed out that setting the fan speed to "Low" reduces the volume of air passing through the indoor unit, requiring more time to cool the room and increasing the workload on the compressor. Taipower therefore recommends using the "Auto" fan setting. On hot summer afternoons, if the air conditioning does not feel cool enough, users can first increase the fan speed to "High" to improve air circulation and lower the perceived temperature. This approach is more energy-efficient than simply lowering the temperature setting.

Regarding sleep and dehumidification modes, Taipower recommends using the air conditioner's "Sleep Mode" for those concerned about feeling too cold when leaving the air conditioner running overnight or waking up because of the heat if it is set to turn off automatically. Sleep Mode raises the temperature setting by 1-2 deg C after the user falls asleep, helping maintain comfort while conserving electricity. As for the question, "Does dehumidification mode use a lot of electricity?" Taipower cautioned that an air conditioner's dehumidification mode consumes more power than a dedicated dehumidifier, as its compressor operates at high power for extended periods. Therefore, when dehumidification is needed, using a dedicated dehumidifier is the more energy-efficient option.

Addressing other common misconceptions about air conditioner use, such as "Does leaving an inverter air conditioner running continuously save more electricity?" Taipower explained that keeping an inverter air conditioner running at all times does not necessarily result in energy savings. For brief absences of 30 minutes or less, users may consider leaving the air conditioner on, but turning it off is still recommended when leaving for extended periods. As for "how an air circulator fan should be used with an air conditioner, Taipower recommends placing the fan below the air conditioner's air outlet, directing the airflow toward the center of the room, and tilting the fan upward at a 45-degree angle to promote air circulation throughout the room.

Addressing the common misconception that "unstable voltage is the reason an air conditioner is not cooling properly," Taipower clarified that if there were a problem with the supply voltage, the air conditioner would be unable to start. If an air conditioner starts normally and continues operating, this indicates that the supply voltage is within the equipment's normal operating range. Therefore, inadequate cooling is due to issues with the air conditioner itself and is unrelated to the supply voltage. Taipower advises users to first clean the air filters and check whether the air conditioner's cooling capacity is appropriate for the size of the room. If necessary, users should contact the manufacturer or a qualified service provider for inspection.

In addition to debunking common misconceptions, Taipower offered several practical tips for improving air conditioner energy efficiency. Taipower recommends setting the temperature between 26 deg C and 28 deg C and using an air circulator fan or electric fan to improve air circulation. Air filters should also be cleaned every two to three weeks to prevent dust and lint buildup from obstructing airflow. Doors and windows should be kept closed while the air conditioner is operating to minimize cooling loss. Furthermore, when purchasing a new air conditioner, Taipower recommends choosing a model with a Level 1 energy efficiency rating under Taiwan's Energy Efficiency Rating Labeling system to achieve greater electricity savings.

Taipower reported that residential customers achieved total electricity savings of 1.8 billion kilowatt-hours (kWh) in 2025, equivalent to the annual electricity consumption of approximately 500,000 households. These savings also resulted in an estimated reduction of 840,000 metric tons of carbon emissions, equivalent to the annual carbon sequestration capacity of approximately 2,170 Daan Forest Parks. Taipower will continue to promote proper energy-saving practices and encourage the public to incorporate energy conservation into their daily lives, working together to reduce electricity consumption and carbon emissions.

      <description><![CDATA[Taiwan Power Company (Taipower) held a press conference on Underground Power Line Renewal at the Ministry of Economic Affairs today (18th). As cities continue to develop, underground power lines installed in earlier years are gradually reaching the stage where renewal is necessary, while regional power supply capacity must also be adjusted to keep pace with growing electricity demand. In response, Taipower has identified priority areas for improvement across Taiwan's six special municipalities, covering 18 administrative districts, and launched an underground power line renewal project to strengthen urban power grid resilience. Taipower emphasized that a reliable electricity supply is essential to urban competitiveness and that power infrastructure development requires the collective support of local governments and stakeholders to accelerate improvement projects and ensure a safe and stable electricity supply.

Taipower stated that underground power lines were first installed in the 1960s along Zhongxiao West Road in Taipei City, with underground installation subsequently expanding across Taiwan. Many of these early underground cables have now been in operation for several decades. Although Taipower has continued to maintain and replace aging infrastructure, urban economic development has led to a substantial increase in electricity demand from households and commercial establishments in metropolitan areas. As a result, some power lines are now carrying loads beyond their originally designed capacity, leading to problems such as cable burnout and equipment failures. To strengthen urban power grid resilience and ensure the quality and reliability of electricity supply, Taipower has mobilized 10 district offices across Taiwan's six special municipalities to identify priority areas for improvement in 18 administrative districts. Based on key criteria such as equipment age, load growth, and underground space constraints, Taipower is implementing an underground power line renewal project to upgrade urban electricity infrastructure.

Taipower pointed out that underground space in metropolitan areas must accommodate multiple utility networks, including electricity, water, and natural gas pipelines. During emergency repair operations, Taipower frequently encounters cable conduits that have been damaged by road construction, sewer installation, or other excavation work. In such cases, road surfaces must first be excavated and the damaged conduits repaired before power cables can be replaced, resulting in longer power restoration times. Furthermore, some areas with highly congested underground utility networks are experiencing insufficient conduit capacity, creating situations where existing cables cannot be pulled out for replacement, while no space is available to install new cables. These problems have significantly increased the difficulty of carrying out underground power line renewal operations.

Taipower explained that, to address the challenges posed by external interference and limited underground space, it has adopted a strategy of new infrastructure installation and phased cutover. Under this approach, new cable conduits and backup power lines are first installed along road sections where sufficient underground space remains available. The backup lines are then used to supply electricity to areas where underground space is already saturated, allowing aging power lines to be replaced through phased excavation and sectional upgrades. This approach effectively minimizes disruptions to electricity supply during construction while further strengthening distribution system resilience through the coordinated use of renewed infrastructure and backup power lines.

Taipower emphasized that a reliable electricity supply is essential to urban competitiveness, while power grid infrastructure development is crucial for supporting the future growth of cities. Achieving these goals requires the collective support of local governments and stakeholders. Regarding underground power line renewal, Taipower hopes to strengthen collaboration with local governments to coordinate construction permits for nighttime work or extended construction hours to minimize traffic disruptions. It also seeks to facilitate cross-agency coordination and the sharing of public works information to prevent repeated road excavation and ensure efficient use of underground space. For major urban renewal and new development projects, Taipower encourages planners to reserve space for shared utility conduits, substations, and other electrical infrastructure during the initial planning stages. This would not only enhance regional power supply redundancy and operational flexibility but also accommodate future electricity demand from industrial development. Taipower also urged electricity users to conduct regular inspections of their internal electrical wiring systems and proactively replace aging equipment as a preventive measure, working together to build safer, more reliable, and more resilient urban power grids.

      <description><![CDATA[As Taiwan enters a super-aged society, demand for health management and care continues to grow. At its dedicated pavilion during the 2026 Healthy Ageing Tech Show, the Department of Industrial Technology (DoIT), Ministry of Economic Affairs, brings together four research organizations-the Industrial Technology Research Institute (ITRI), Metal Industries Research & Development Centre (MIRDC), Taiwan Textile Research Institute (TTRI), and Food Industry Research and Development Institute (FIRDI). Across three themed zones-Health Management, Compassionate Care, and Rehabilitation Empowerment-the pavilion presents 30 senior health technology innovations. On the show's opening day, DoIT also facilitated the signing of a letter of intent between ITRI and TAICEND TECHNOLOGY, demonstrating strong momentum in research commercialization and industrial upgrading.

DoIT Director General Chao-Chung Kuo said that the purpose of technology research is to solve real problems in everyday life. Many featured solutions have already been introduced into home care, community service sites, hospitals, and long-term care institutions, while also helping companies transform their business models. One example is the Chronic Wound Care Service jointly developed by ITRI and TAICEND TECHNOLOGY. By bringing artificial intelligence into home-based wound management, the service allows home-care nurses to photograph and upload a wound; the system then automatically assesses its size and healing progress, enabling medical teams to deliver precise intervention at the earliest opportunity. The technology is expected to generate more than NT$400 million in output and investment and help TAICEND evolve from a conventional dressing manufacturer into a one-stop provider integrating AI, an app, and professional care services. DoIT will continue connecting industry, academia, research institutes, and medical organizations to accelerate commercialization and turn senior-care needs into new growth for the smart health sector.

DoIT noted that, according to the World Health Organization, approximately 528 million people worldwide have osteoarthritis, including about 365 million whose knees are affected. TTRI's Home-Based Digital Exercise Intervention System for Knee Osteoarthritis integrates joint-condition measurement, electrical stimulation support, and motion analysis, enabling older adults to undertake precise, convenient exercise training at home and improve rehabilitation outcomes. The system has completed a clinical trial at the Department of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation of National Taiwan University Hospital and was selected as one of the expo's Top 10 Age-Friendly Technologies, Products, and Services. With the global knee-brace market projected to grow from US$6.51 billion in 2025 to US$9.39 billion in 2032, the solution shows significant potential in smart rehabilitation.

Featured Technologies

Protection You Can Wear: TTRI's Multimodal Physiological Monitoring Garment

TTRI has combined its fabric electrodes, which have generated approximately NT$12 million in technology-transfer revenue, with Quanta's medically certified electrocardiogram device. The result is a comfortable garment suitable for long-term physiological monitoring. Clinical evaluations are underway at Yuan-Kuo Hospital in Changhua, Chiayi Hospital, and E-Da Hospital. Estimated annual output is NT$500-600 million.

Eat and Swallow with Greater Ease: MIRDC's Oral Health and Swallowing Service

MIRDC integrates an oral light-therapy panel, a tongue-pressure feedback meter, and facial-exercise courses delivered through a digital mirror. The service helps older adults strengthen the muscles used for chewing and swallowing. It has been introduced at long-term care sites and community locations, supporting applications in devices, platforms, consumables, and professional services. Estimated annual output is NT$500-800 million.

Safe, Nutritious, and Appealing Meals: FIRDI's Customized 3D-Printed Nutrition Technology

FIRDI uses 3D printing to transform pureed ingredients into realistic-looking meals while precisely adjusting nutritional composition. The technology supports swallowing safety, adequate nutrition, and dignity at mealtimes. It has been transferred to Taiwan Farm Industry Co., Ltd. and can be expanded into care, food-service, and food-manufacturing settings, with an estimated NT$500 million increase in output.

The DoIT Pavilion at the 2026 Healthy Ageing Tech Show showcased innovations in smart healthcare, functional textiles, assistive technology, and more, demonstrating how technology can make daily life warmer, safer, and more dignified for older adults.]]></description>

      <title><![CDATA[Ministry of Economic Affairs Releases the 2025 National Electricity Supply and Demand Report of Taiwan; Prudent Electricity Resource Planning Ensures Reliable Power Supply]]></title>
      <link>https://www.moea.gov.tw/MNS/english/news/News.aspx?kind=6&amp;menu_id=176&amp;news_id=123558</link>
      <description><![CDATA[On June 18, the Ministry of Economic Affairs (MOEA) released the "2025 National Electricity Supply and Demand Report", which provides a review of the electricity supply and demand situation in 2025; taking into account the impact of economic growth, electricity demand from AI data centers and the semiconductor industry, temperature conditions, and the promotion of deep energy saving, the report also forecasts Taiwan's electricity demand over the next decade (2026-2035). At the same time, the report outlines plans to develop a diversified energy portfolio-aligned with the energy transition policy-to ensure a stable and reliable power supply.

According to the MOEA, electricity consumption in 2025 was driven by the growing adoption of AI and emerging technologies. High-value-added industries such as semiconductors maintained strong production momentum, boosting exports of electronic and ICT products while increasing electricity consumption in related manufacturing sectors. However, some traditional industries saw production decline in 2025 due to impact of evolving geopolitical situation and excess production capacity in China. Additionally, deep energy saving, lower overall temperatures, and the impact of multiple typhoons between July and September contributed to a slight decline in total electricity consumption. Compared with 2024, overall electricity consumption decreased by 840 million kWh, or approximately 0.3%. Moreover, thanks to effective dispatching by Taiwan Power Company (Taipower), the percent operating reserve exceeded 10% (indicating sufficient power supply, a "green light" status) for 342 days in 2025. Overall, electricity supply and demand conditions remained stable.

To meet future electricity demand, the assessment takes into account factors such as economic growth, temperature, and additional electricity demand arising from the expansion of the semiconductor industry, data centers and AI technologies, incorporating anticipated deep energy saving outcomes, and projects the average annual electricity demand growth rate from 2026-2035 to be approximately 2.5%. This is the second-highest projected growth rate among all historical forecasts and exceeds the projected growth rates of neighboring Asian countries such as Japan and South Korea.

In terms of the electricity supply, solar photovoltaic generation provides ample power during the day, and the primary supply challenge has shifted from daytime to the peak electricity consumption period at night. Maintaining a stable electricity supply during these periods requires the deployment of high-efficiency gas-fired power generation units combined with energy storage systems and dispatching of hydropower. Under the current plan, Taipower will construct new gas-fired units at its Taichung, Hsinta, Tunghsiao, Talin, and Hsieh-ho power plants. Additionally, the gas-fired power projects of Independent Power Producers (IPPs), such as Kuo Kuang and Mai Liao power plants, have been incorporated into the supply plan. These newly added gas-fired installed capacity is expected to add approximately 26 GW between 2026 and 2035, which will accommodate the long-term growth in power demand and ensure a stable power supply.

Recent situation in the Middle East have increased uncertainty about the global energy supply. To ensure stable power supply, countries around the world are strengthening the reserve capacity and operational flexibility of their power systems. For example, Japan has established reserve power generation arrangements by designating eligible existing thermal power units as backup resources. In response to risks affecting the international energy supply, South Korea has also relaxed operational restrictions on coal-fired power plants and postponed the decommissioning of certain coal-fired generation units. Considering that international energy markets remain unstable due to geopolitics in the Middle East, to reduce the risk of disruption to energy supplies or power system operations due to unforeseen events, the MOEA has instructed Taipower to ensure that contingencies are in place before decommissioning any type of generating unit. Whenever possible, available energy facilities should be retained to enhance operational flexibility and strengthen the resilience of the power supply system.

Regarding nuclear energy and the promotion of new energy technologies, the MOEA stated that it will approach issues related to the potential restart of nuclear power plants prudently, taking into account safety, legality, and public communication. The MOEA will also maintain an open mind concerning new nuclear technologies, actively monitor international developments and engage with new energy sources and technologies, and continue to evaluate diverse energy options suitable for Taiwan.

Lastly, the MOEA reiterated that Taipower and private enterprises have actively developed new power generation resources over the past decade (2016-2025) to ensure a stable electricity supply. These achievements include cumulative increases of approximately 19 GW in renewable energy installed capacity and 14 GW in thermal installed capacity respectively. Looking ahead, in light of evolving international energy conditions, domestic economic development, and growing electricity demand driven by AI applications, the government will continue to promote energy transition with the following objectives: maintaining a stable electricity supply, ensuring energy security, and achieving steady carbon reduction. The government aims to enhance the operational flexibility of the power system through diversified generation dispatch, strengthened grid resilience, and the preservation of necessary reserve resources, and hopes for continued support from all sectors to steadily advance the energy transition.

      <description><![CDATA[As technology continues to advance, drones have become an important strategic industry for Taiwan. In recent years, Taiwan Power Company (Taipower) has integrated drone technology into its power generation, transmission, and distribution operations to ensure a stable electricity supply. To cultivate professionals with relevant skills, Taipower has partnered with the long-established Taichung Municipal Dajia Industrial Senior High School to organize an industry-academia cooperation program, incorporating drone application courses for the first time. Taipower announced today (29th) that the initiative aims to leverage the school's educational resources to strengthen students' expertise in electromechanical engineering and drone operations, thereby cultivating skilled professionals to support the nation's critical infrastructure.

Taipower and Dajia Industrial Senior High School held a signing ceremony for the industry-academia cooperation today, with Taipower Vice President Tsai Chih-Meng and Dajia Industrial Senior High School Principal Yang Jen-Sheng signing the agreement on behalf of their respective institutions. Under the cooperation, the two parties plan to establish the Taipower Critical Infrastructure Workforce Development Program within the school's Department of Electrical Engineering starting in the 2027 academic year. The program will integrate the school's specialized electrical engineering curriculum with the advanced educational resources of its newly established Taichung City Drone Technology Education and Learning Center, aiming to cultivate professionals equipped with both drone application skills and expertise in electromechanical engineering.

In recent years, Taipower has deployed drone technology across its power generation, transmission, and distribution systems to help frontline personnel ensure a stable and reliable electricity supply nationwide. In hazardous environments, such as mountainous areas, elevated locations, or areas with challenging terrain, drones can assist Taipower personnel in inspecting electrical infrastructure and identifying fault locations along power lines, thereby reducing operational risks. When typhoons or heavy rainfall damage power lines and equipment, drones can also transmit real-time images and information from affected areas, helping Taipower personnel formulate emergency repair strategies and accelerate post-disaster power restoration operations.

Taipower has also introduced indoor drones at its power plants to conduct boiler inspections. By integrating artificial intelligence (AI) and big data analytics, these drones enable power plants to quickly and accurately identify difficult-to-detect defects and potential risks, such as cracks and corrosion in boiler tubes, particularly in areas that are difficult for personnel to access. This technology facilitates comprehensive inspections, significantly improves the efficiency of emergency repairs and major overhauls, and helps ensure that power generation units remain in optimal operating condition. Taipower emphasized that drone application skills have become essential in the electric power industry, playing an important role in ensuring the reliable operation of electrical equipment and critical infrastructure.

Taipower explained that graduates of the program who wish to participate in its industry-academia cooperation recruitment examination must complete Taipower-designated courses, attain the required grades, and obtain a Basic Competency Certificate in Drone Remote Piloting. To encourage students in the program to excel academically, Taipower will award scholarships of NT$6,000 each semester to the top 10 students based on their academic performance. Before graduation, 10 outstanding students will be selected through a recruitment process. Those who are selected and successfully complete the required training will be eligible to become full-time Taipower employees. This initiative will not only create employment opportunities for young people but also help Taipower continuously strengthen its workforce of skilled power industry professionals with expertise in critical technologies.

Taipower stated that it remains committed to strengthening its talent pipeline through partnerships with various schools. Since 2015, Taipower has successively collaborated with schools such as Shalu Industrial High School, Siaogang Senior High School, and Kangshan Agricultural & Industrial Vocational Senior High School to establish specialized electromechanical engineering programs. Looking ahead, Taipower will continue to deepen industry-academia collaboration by integrating educational resources with practical industry experience to cultivate skilled professionals for the electric power industry. Through the application of smart technologies, these efforts will also help build a strong foundation of technical talent to ensure a stable and reliable electricity supply.

      <link>https://www.moea.gov.tw/MNS/english/news/News.aspx?kind=6&amp;menu_id=176&amp;news_id=123419</link>
      <description><![CDATA[The Kaohsiung-Pingtung Branch of the Bureau of Industrial Parks (BIP), the Ministry of Economic Affairs (MOEA), hosted the "Smart Parks, Sustainable Prosperity - 2026 Kaohsiung-Pingtung Branch Smart Park Governance Achievement Presentation." On July 25. During the event, six mature smart technologies implemented at Linyuan Industrial Park were showcased, demonstrating the results of the park's smart governance initiatives. Beginning in 2027, the technologies are expected to reduce annual equipment maintenance costs by approximately NT$20 million, save around 210,000 labor hours annually in response to workforce shortages, and minimize disaster-related losses by an estimated NT$7 million through faster emergency response, highlighting the tangible benefits of smart technologies in occupational safety, operational efficiency, and cost management.

Yu Shu-Hui, Chief Secretary of the BIP, noted that Linyuan Industrial Park is one of Taiwan's most important petrochemical industry clusters, encompassing a complete industrial supply chain from refining and petrochemical feedstocks to downstream processing. As a key production base supporting domestic industrial materials and essential consumer goods, the park plays a vital role in Taiwan's economy. The Kaohsiung-Pingtung Branch added that the petrochemical industry is characterized by continuous production processes, intensive energy consumption, and stringent safety management requirements. Amid challenges related to workforce management, equipment maintenance, and regulatory compliance, leveraging smart technologies to strengthen park governance has become a critical driver of industrial transformation.

Linyuan Industrial Park was selected as the demonstration site for this initiative, with six major smart technology applications successfully deployed across 22 petrochemical manufacturers in the park. These include Gas Detection and Analysis Management, AI-Based Human, Vehicle, and Environmental Image Recognition, Personnel Abnormality Detection and Positioning, Equipment and Pipeline Monitoring Systems, Smart Inspection Systems, and a Factory Operations Management Platform. Together, these technologies establish a more responsive and precise governance model covering safety monitoring, workforce deployment, equipment maintenance, and operational management.

According to the Kaohsiung-Pingtung Branch, companies in the park are facing a range of challenges, including an aging workforce, increasingly complex personnel management, labor shortages, rising operating costs, and the loss of institutional knowledge. On the operational side, aging facilities, demands for digital transformation, and high maintenance costs also pose significant hurdles. Meanwhile, the pursuit of net-zero emissions, increasingly stringent environmental regulations, and compliance requirements continue to drive industrial upgrading. Rather than improving isolated pieces of equipment, implementing smart technologies enables enterprises to integrate risk management, inspection operations, and operational data into a comprehensive governance system capable of real-time monitoring, early warning, and informed decision-making.

The achievement presentation not only highlighted the phased progress of smart governance at Linyuan Industrial Park, but also laid a solid foundation for transforming Taiwan's traditional petrochemical industry toward higher value-added production, smart manufacturing, and low-carbon development. The Kaohsiung-Pingtung Branch stated that it will continue to strengthen collaboration among government, industry, academia, and research institutions while integrating public-sector support with private-sector innovation. Through these efforts, the Branch aims to enhance operational resilience and occupational safety management across industrial park enterprises, making smart technologies, safety, and sustainability the key pillars supporting the next stage of industrial park transformation and upgrading.

      <description><![CDATA[To promote comprehensive energy conservation across industries, the Ministry of Economic Affairs (MOEA) announced on May 18 the "Regulations Governing Energy Audit and Establishment of Energy Conservation Plans for Energy Users." According to the new regulations, major energy users with a contracted power capacity exceeding 800 kW must conduct professional energy audits and develop and implement a five-year energy-saving plan to achieve the policy objective of "Deep Energy Saving."

The Executive Yuan has been promoting the "Deep Energy Saving Action Plan" since 2024, with a target of saving 20.6 billion kilowatt-hours (kWh) of electricity over four years. In the initial phase, state-owned enterprises took the lead in conducting energy audits, while approximately 4,900 major energy users were required to achieve an annual average electricity-saving rate of 1% or 1.5%, depending on their contracted power capacity. At the household level, subsidies for replacing old home appliances with energy-efficient models continue to be promoted. As of April 2026, these measures had collectively saved 12.068 billion kWh of electricity, with major energy users contributing over 2.9 billion kWh of the total savings. Furthermore, from January to April 2026 alone, approximately 1.17 billion kWh of electricity was saved, reducing natural gas demand for power generation by about 164,000 metric tons-equivalent to the total gas supply from approximately 2.7 LNG tankers-demonstrating significant energy-saving achievements.

The MOEA stated that the newly announced regulations require major energy users to complete comprehensive energy audits between 2026 and 2027. Based on the findings of the audit reports, users must submit a five-year energy conservation plan before the first quarter of 2028. Energy audit teams may consist of qualified professionals from accredited organizations, academic institutions, research institutes, or licensed professional engineers. These teams will assist major energy users in comprehensively auditing existing equipment and identifying energy-saving opportunities throughout their facilities, based on which energy-saving targets and implementation plans will be developed. Users are required to submit annual progress reports to the MOEA. To assist users in finding suitable energy audit teams based on their specific needs, the MOEA will establish the Energy Audit Information Section. This section will compile and provide information on various energy audit teams, making it convenient for users to search for and contact professional services.

To facilitate investment in energy-saving projects, the government offers a diverse range of financial incentives and support measures to lower the threshold of energy-saving investments for businesses. In addition to extending the investment tax credit incentives  under Article 10-1 of the Statute for Industrial Innovation-which expands applicable energy-saving and carbon-reduction projects and raises the maximum investment deduction cap to NT$2 billion-the government also provides various financial subsidies. These include subsidies for Energy Service Company (ESCO) performance-guaranteed projects, waste heat and cold recovery projects, and the purchase of power-driven utility equipment. All sectors are welcome to apply for and utilize these resources.

The MOEA emphasized that through mandatory energy audits and five-year energy conservation plans for major energy users, the energy-saving potential in energy-intensive facilities can be fully identified. This will not only maximize energy efficiency but also stimulate the development of energy-audit technologies and related energy-efficiency service industries, thereby boosting the energy efficiency market. The MOEA encourages all sectors to work together to accelerate the net-zero transition and create benefits for industry, society, and the environment.

      <description><![CDATA[Taipower held its 2026 Annual General Meeting today (June 26), explaining to shareholders that last year the Company benefited from the stabilization of international fuel prices along with various initiatives to strengthen financial operations; as a result, the Company's pre-tax net profit reached NT$75.6 billion, ending 3 consecutive years of losses. However, the Company still has accumulated losses of over NT$350 billion. A Taipower representative expressed that tensions in the Middle East, have caused fuel prices to skyrocket yet again. Taipower will continue to closely monitor the situation and carefully adapt, while taking measures to strengthen financial and operational performance, seeking government support, and exploring banks' credit policies for resources to improve its finances.

Taipower's 2026 Annual General Meeting took place today, chaired by Taipower Chairman Tseng Wen-Sheng, with President Kuo Tien-He presenting the 2025 business report to shareholders. The agenda also included announcements regarding last year's corporate bond issuance and approval of last year's financial report, business report, and the allocation of funds to cover losses.

A Taipower representative explained that last year, as international fuel prices stabilized, Taipower expanded its income and reduced expenditures through various measures, including adjustment of electricity prices, continued enhancement of fuel procurement and management, activation of real estate assets, and equity investments in other enterprises. Last year, Taipower's total revenue was NT$972.6 billion, while expenditures reached NT$897 billion. The pre-tax net profit was NT$75.6 billion, and after deducting income tax, the post-tax profit amounted to NT$74.6 billion. As of the end of last year, the accumulated losses totaled NT$351.1 billion.

A Taipower representative pointed out that between January and April of this year, the Company's losses amounted to NT$9 billion, a reduction of 70% or NT$22.5 billion compared to the same period last year. However, due to geopolitical impacts such as the conflict in the Middle East, international fuel prices are once again increasing. CPC Corporation raised natural gas prices for the power sector in both April and May, leading to an increase in Taipower's fuel costs for power generation. Taipower will closely monitor fuel price fluctuations and simultaneously move forward with fuel procurement strategies. The Company aims to strengthen its financial structure by increasing income while reducing expenditures, and will strive to minimize losses while continue to seek resources to improve its financial situation.

Regarding this year's power supply situation, Taipower is actively promoting the construction of gas-fired units. Four planned new units (totaling 5.2 million kilowatts) will be gradually brought online. Among them, the new Unit 1 of the Taichung Power Plant has entered the full-load testing stage; the new Unit 2 of the Taichung Power Plant and the new Unit 3 of the Hsinta Power Plant have also successively begun grid connection tests, for a combined installation capacity of 3.9 million kilowatts, which will be integrated into the electricity supply this summer. The new Unit 2 of the Hsinta Power Plant will join the power supply array before the end of this year. These new units will be paired with pumped-storage hydropower, energy storage systems, demand-side management, and other diverse dispatch methods to ensure that there are no power supply concerns, thereby supporting the people of Taiwan in their everyday lives, industrial development, and urban competitiveness.

      <description><![CDATA[The Bureau of Industrial Parks (BIP), Ministry of Economic Affairs (MOEA) announced on April 22 that its Tainan Branch has actively supported industrial upgrading through smart technologies. Through dedicated guidance, Chia Yi Steel Co., Ltd., located in the Minxiong Industrial Park, successfully implemented an AI-powered management system. By integrating digital supply chain connectivity and intelligent melting process analytics, the company increased its product yield rate from 85% to 95%, improved Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) from 55% to 77%, and reduced electricity consumption by approximately 1.04 million kWh. These improvements translated into production cost savings of approximately NT$52 million, demonstrating the tangible benefits of smart manufacturing and net-zero transformation for traditional industries.
BIP has been actively promoting the "Industrial Park Smart Technology Value-Added Innovation and Cross-Domain Development Program," assisting enterprises within industrial parks in adopting digital tools and smart applications. Through technical support provided by the Metal Industries Research&Development Centre (MIRDC), Chia Yi Steel Co., Ltd. successfully prepared and secured a subsidy of NT$16 million under the MOEA's "Smart Machinery-Digital Supply Chain Integration and AI Applications for Industrial Clusters" Program administered by the Industrial Development Administration (IDA). Through AI implementation and information integration with supply chain partners, the project has accelerated the transformation of the entire supply chain toward smart manufacturing.
According to BIP, Chia Yi Steel Co., Ltd.'s successful transformation demonstrates that traditional industries can significantly enhance productivity, reduce energy consumption and operating costs, and strengthen international competitiveness through the effective adoption of AI-enabled technologies. Amid rapidly changing global markets and increasing customer demands for flexible production, stable quality, and efficient delivery schedules, AI applications have become a critical enabler for overcoming production bottlenecks and enhancing operational resilience.

The company's transformation centered on building a next-generation smart production line. By introducing an AI management system-often regarded as the "digital brain" of a factory-Chia Yi Steel improved manufacturing processes that previously relied heavily on human experience and judgment. Through real-time data monitoring, intelligent melting analysis, and predictive process control, the company further enhanced operational stability and product quality. In addition, Chia Yi Steel established a comprehensive production and operational big-data platform, enabling management personnel to make data-driven decisions regarding workforce allocation, inventory management, and production scheduling. This has laid the foundation for predictive maintenance and early quality anomaly detection, significantly reducing the risk of product defects.
This year, Chia Yi Steel Co., Ltd. was invited to participate in the Net Zero City Expo, where it showcased its AI-driven smart manufacturing achievements and collaborated with five upstream and downstream supply chain partners to promote a new model of green net-zero supply chain development. Looking ahead, BIP will continue to facilitate the adoption of smart technologies within industrial parks through cross-sector collaboration and technical guidance, helping more traditional industries seize AI transformation opportunities and enhance their global competitiveness.

      <description><![CDATA[On May 6, 2026, Taiwan's Minister of Economic Affairs Ming-Hsin Kung and National Development Council Minister Yeh Chun-Hsien, along with Representative to the United States Alexander Yui jointly held a press conference in Washington, D.C. to outline the results of Taiwan's participation in the SelectUSA Investment Summit and discuss prospects for Taiwan-U.S. cooperation on supply chains.

During the event, Minister Kung signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with Vice Chairman Jerry Hsu of the Taiwan Electrical and Electronic Manufacturers' Association (TEEMA) to promote overseas industrial cluster development and support the expansion of Taiwanese businesses abroad.

According to the Ministry of Economic Affairs (MOEA), a preliminary survey found that around 20 Taiwanese companies expressed interest in investing in the United States, with an estimated investment totaling approximately US$35 billion. The investments primarily involve semiconductor and AI server supply chains, which include such companies as UMC, GlobalWafers, WIN Semiconductors, Foxconn, Quanta, Wistron, and Compal.

Minister Kung said Taiwan's manufacturing strengths have made the country an important partner of the United States in the AI era. Regarding the US$35 billion in planned investments, he emphasized that they are based on the business strategies of the companies rather than on government directives. He also noted that Taiwan's investment in the United States has evolved from individual corporate expansion into a broader industrial strategy aimed at strengthening global competitiveness and supporting more resilient high-tech supply chains.

Minister Kung also remarked that Taiwan continued to be one of the largest delegations at this year's SelectUSA Summit, 113 Taiwanese companies and 207 delegates participating. He said the strong turnout reflected that the United States has become a crucial hub for the global deployment of Taiwanese enterprises amidst global supply chain restructuring and advanced technological development.

Looking ahead, the MOEA announced that Taiwan Expo USA will be held again in Dallas, Texas from September 24 to 26 this year, focusing on AI and smart technology applications to further expand bilateral business cooperation.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Minister of Economic Affairs Ming-Hsin Kung and National Development Council (NDC) Chairperson Yeh Chun-Hsien led a delegation of Taiwanese business leaders to attend the SelectUSA Investment Summit from May 3 to 6. Taiwan continued to be one of the largest delegations for the third consecutive year. In addition to leading the delegation to the SelectUSA Summit, Minister Kung's itinerary included meetings with relevant U.S. government agencies and U.S. Senators. He urged them to complete the congressional legislative process for the Taiwan-U.S. Avoidance of Double Taxation Agreement (ADTA) to eliminate tax barriers for Taiwanese companies investing in the U.S.

U.S. Secretary of Commerce Howard Lutnick stated in his opening remarks at the SelectUSA Summit that "America First" does not mean America alone; rather, it involves working hand-in-hand with allies to jointly build more resilient supply chains. This year's Taiwan SelectUSA delegation consisted of 207 representatives from 113 corporations, associations, and research institutions. The delegation's participation demonstrated the intent and capability of Taiwanese enterprises to strengthen investments in the U.S. and deepen Taiwan-U.S. supply chain cooperation.

Speaking at the SelectUSA Welcoming Reception hosted by TECRO on May 3, Minister Kung remarked that this was his fourth time to represent Taiwan at SelectUSA, and that on the three previous occasions Taiwan had also assembled the largest overseas delegation. Currently, the U.S. is not only Taiwan's top trading partner, but Taiwan has also risen to become the fourth-largest trading partner of the U.S.

Minister Kung emphasized that in the future, Taiwan will continue to collaborate with the U.S. on advancing bilateral corporate trade and investment cooperation, which is built on the solid foundation of three major pillars: the Taiwan-U.S. Memorandum of Understanding on Investment Cooperation, the Taiwan-U.S. Agreement on Reciprocal Trade (ART), and the Taiwan-U.S. Economic Prosperity Partnership Dialogue (EPPD).]]></description>

      <link>https://www.moea.gov.tw/MNS/english/news/News.aspx?kind=6&amp;menu_id=176&amp;news_id=123107</link>
      <description><![CDATA[On May 1, Minister of Economic Affairs Ming-Hsin Kung, together with Sandra Watson, President & CEO of the Arizona Commerce Authority, Phoenix Mayor Kate Gallego, Chandler Mayor Kevin Hartke inaugurated the opening of the Phoenix-Taiwan Trade and Investment Center in Arizona.

Although Arizona Governor Katie Hobbs was unable to attend in person, she delivered congratulatory remarks via a pre-recorded video, which emphasized that the long-standing partnership between Arizona and Taiwan is stronger than ever.

The event marked the MOEA's second trade and investment service office in the United States. The Center will work with the Dallas-Taiwan Trade and Investment Center to support Taiwanese enterprises in layout planning for the U.S. market. Those enterprises are engaged in local manufacturing and innovation ecosystems, further advancing the Taiwan-U.S. Memorandum of Understanding on investment.

Minister Kung said that this visit to the U.S. was to attend the SelectUSA Investment Summit. Although the first stop in Arizona was brief, three major goals were achieved: First, leading industry representatives to meet with senior officials from the state and city governments, helping businesses grasp the local investment environment. Second, opening the trade and investment center will lead to local governments providing timely and professional services to investors. Third, exploring potential sites for developing industrial clusters in the U.S. based on the Taiwan model, and in line with the Taiwan-U.S. investment memorandum.

Governor Katie Hobbs, though unable to attend in person, expressed her congratulations via a pre-recorded video. She emphasized that Taiwan and Arizona have built an unprecedented close relationship based on friendship, mutual support, and a shared commitment to developing innovative technologies. She stressed that cooperation in the coming years will drive next-generation technological development and strengthen global supply chain resilience.

The MOEA stated that Arizona is Taiwan's third-largest trading partner in the U.S. In 2025, bilateral trade reached USD 21.24 billion, with Taiwan being Arizona's largest import source and second-largest export market.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[As the Dragon Boat Festival approaches, markets across Taiwan are bustling with shoppers purchasing festive goods and ingredients. To ensure measurement accuracy and fair transactions during the holiday shopping season, the Bureau of Standards, Metrology and Inspection (BSMI) conducted a pre-holiday inspection of commercial weighing scales. The BSMI announced that the inspection achieved an impressive compliance rate of 99.9 percent.

As part of the special inspection program, BSMI officials conducted inspections at 157 locations across Taiwan, including traditional markets, hypermarkets, and supermarkets. A total of 5,577 weighing scales were examined, of which 5,576 were found compliant. Only one scale failed to meet legal requirements. The non-compliant scale was immediately marked "suspension-from-use" and will remain under follow-up monitoring until corrective action is completed. Any business found continuing to use a non-compliant weighing scale are subject to fines ranging from NT$15,000 to NT$75,000 in accordance with the Weights and Measures Act.

The BSMI noted that weighing scales used in commercial transactions are legally required to pass official verification before they can be sold, used, or placed into service in the marketplace. In addition, the agency conducts annual market inspection programs to monitor weighing instruments in circulation. Any non-compliant devices identified during inspections are subject to regulatory action in accordance with applicable laws and regulations, through a two-tier oversight mechanism to protect consumer interests and ensure fair trade practices.

The Bureau further explained that routine inspections are conducted throughout the year at markets across Taiwan to ensure accurate measurements and fair transactions. Additional targeted inspections are conducted during the three major holiday periods-the Lunar New Year, Dragon Boat Festival, and Mid-Autumn Festival-to further strengthen regulatory oversight and safeguard consumer interests. Consumers who notice a weighing scale without the official verification mark [Picture as attachment file], or who have doubts about the accuracy of a weighing transaction, are encouraged to contact the BSMI hotline at 02-2343-4567. The Bureau will promptly dispatch inspectors to conduct follow-up checks, safeguarding the interests of both buyers and sellers.

      <description><![CDATA[To deepen cooperation between Taiwan and Canada in low-carbon energy, Director General Chih-Wei Wu of the Energy Administration under the Ministry of Economic Affairs led the &#8220;Taiwan-Canada Energy Working Group Delegation&#8221;on a week-long official and industrial exchange mission to Canada in June 2026. During the visit, the two sides convened the director-general-level &#8220;Taiwan-Canada Energy Working Group Meeting&#8221; and held multiple exchange sessions with Canadian officials and key industry players to strengthen bilateral connections in low-carbon energy.

The delegation was primarily composed of members from Taiwan&#8217;s geothermal and hydrogen promotion taskforces, showcasing Taiwan's momentum in accelerating its low-carbon energy transition. The "2026 Taiwan-Canada Energy Working Group Meeting" was co-chaired by Director General Chih-Wei Wu of Taiwan&#8217;s Energy Administration and Director General Rachel McCormick of the International Affairs, Strategic Policy and Innovation Sector at Natural Resources Canada. The meeting focused on two major themes: geothermal development, and natural gas and blue hydrogen applications. Representatives from both sides shared their respective development status, aiming to strengthen bilateral industrial chain linkages. 

The delegation also participated in the "Alberta-Taiwan Hydrogen and Geothermal Roundtable" organized by Calgary Economic Development to engage in substantive dialogues with Canadian geothermal and hydrogen industry players. Beyond drawing on Canada&#8217;s rich expertise and experience in geothermal development, the delegation gained a deeper understanding of the current status of clean hydrogen development in Calgary. Furthermore, to establish a stable and supportive environment for clean energy promotion, the delegation visited the Alberta Energy Regulator to exchange views on geothermal and hydrogen regulations.

The Energy Administration stated that Canada, as a major global energy exporter, is actively leveraging its existing energy infrastructure to accelerate its transition to clean energy, technology R&amp;D, and carbon sequestration demonstration. This visit not only consolidated the bilateral official energy partnership between Taiwan and Canada but also established direct connections for advanced low-carbon industries and technologies, laying a critical foundation for Taiwan's green energy diversification and energy resilience. Moving forward, the Energy Administration will continue to leverage the Taiwan-Canada Energy Working Group to deepen policy exchanges and accelerate the local implementation of clean energy technologies, working together towards the 2050 net-zero goal.

      <link>https://www.moea.gov.tw/MNS/english/news/News.aspx?kind=6&amp;menu_id=176&amp;news_id=122903</link>
      <description><![CDATA[The Bureau of Standards, Metrology and Inspection (BSMI) under the Ministry of Economic Affairs held the 2026 World Metrology Day Symposium on 19 May 2026. The symposium explored three major themes-smart manufacturing and AI, net-zero transition, and the new energy industry, highlighting that metrology is not only essential to the stable operation of industries across all sectors, but also serves as a critical foundation for national policymaking and fostering public trust.
World Metrology Day is celebrated globally on May 20 each year to commemorate the signing of the Metre Convention in 1875, which laid the foundation for global measurement consistency, and to reflect on how metrology can help address future challenges. As a member of the General Conference on Weights and Measures (CGPM), the BSMI organized a symposium under the 2026 theme, "Metrology: Building Trust in Policy Making." It aimed to foster greater public awareness and understanding of the importance of metrology through the sharing and discussion of real-world case studies.

The BSMI noted that the metrology system is fundamental to ensuring fair market transactions and maintaining public confidence in government enforcement. Currently, 22 categories of legal measuring instruments have been designated under regulation. Any legal measuring instrument subject to mandatory verification must complete verification before importation or release from the factory to ensure the accuracy and consistency of measurement results, while also protecting consumer rights and maintaining fair trade practices.

In addition, BSMI has also aligned its efforts with the government's energy transition and industrial upgrading policies. It is actively advancing hydrogen metrology technologies, developing standards for hydrogen refueling stations, and improving the green electricity trading framework, with the aim of gradually establishing a reliable standards and metrology foundation for emerging energy industries. At the same time, by integrating metrology with AI technologies, the BSMI is developing services for sensor calibration, automated equipment calibrations, and geometric measurement of machine tools, helping the smart machinery industry improve measurement data quality, enhance process stability, and strengthen international competitiveness.

The symposium featured distinguished speakers from industry and academia. Mr. Cheng Tzu-yen, General Manager of Chroma ATE Inc., delivered a presentation entitled "The Development of Smart Manufacturing and the Role of Metrology in the AI Wave," exploring how smart manufacturing integrates AI applications with metrology to strengthen quality assurance and build trust across global supply chains. Mr. Lee Chien-ming, Senior Consultant at the Taiwan Research Institute, presented on "Metrology Supporting High-Integrity Net-Zero Transition," explaining the pivotal role of metrology in carbon management and net-zero governance. In addition, Mr. Huang Yi-hsieh, Senior Energy Consultant at Taiwan Cement Corporation Group Holdings, shared insights on "Metrology Challenges and Policy Implementation in the New Energy Supply Chain," highlighting the importance of establishing standardized metrology systems to support the implementation of new energy policies.

As the world moves toward digital governance, sustainable development, and energy transition, policymaking increasingly depends on a precise and reliable metrological foundation. The BSMI will endeavor to align with the nation's development vision and strategies by leveraging internationally harmonized metrology standards and the solid foundation of the National Measurement Laboratory. Guided by the principles of "precise metrology, sustainable development, and intelligent innovation," BSMI is committed to enhancing the credibility and impact of public policy and serving as a strong backbone for the sustainable development of Taiwan's industrial economy.

      <title><![CDATA[2025 Vehicle Fuel Economy Guide and Vehicle Fuel Efficiency Ranking Released]]></title>
      <link>https://www.moea.gov.tw/MNS/english/news/News.aspx?kind=6&amp;menu_id=176&amp;news_id=122889</link>
      <description><![CDATA[Recent continued instability in the Middle East has led to significant fluctuations in international crude oil prices, increasing the financial burden on households. As a result, selecting fuel-efficient and energy-efficient vehicles has become an important concern for the public. To assist the public in selecting high energy efficiency vehicles, the Energy Administration, Ministry of Economic Affairs, not only regularly publishes the latest monthly energy efficiency information of certified models online, but also compiles these data annually into the "Vehicle Fuel Economy Guide" for public reference. To further encourage the public to choose energy-saving and carbon-reducing electric vehicles, the "2025 Vehicle Fuel Economy Guide" also includes energy efficiency information of electric vehicles that have completed testing and certification.

The top-performing non-electric vehicles in each category of the 2025 Vehicle Fuel Economy Guide are shown below:

Passenger cars: Honda FIT A522H1502 1498c.c. A1 5D hybrid gasoline passenger car, manufactured by HONDA TAIWAN MOTOR CO., LTD., achieved the best performance with a fuel economy of 26.9 km/L.

Commercial vehicles: TUCSON NX4H-C, 1598c.c. A6 5D hybrid gasoline commercial vehicle, manufactured by Sanyang Motor Co., Ltd., achieved the best performance with a fuel economy of 21.1 km/L.

Motorcycles: HONDA SUPER CUB 109.5c.c. M4, imported by LI LIN MOTORCYCLE CO., LTD., achieved a fuel economy of 96.5 km/L. 

According to the Energy Administration, to maximize energy-saving and carbon-reduction performance, it is important not only to carefully choose energy-efficient vehicles but also to maintain good driving habits and perform regular vehicle maintenance, such as reducing vehicle load, accelerating and decelerating smoothly, maintaining proper tire pressure, and avoiding prolonged idling, which are all effective practices for improving fuel economy. Additionally, making greater use of public transportation such as the MRT and buses can also help reduce fuel expenses and energy consumption, while also contributing to climate change mitigation.

The Energy Administration also clarified that the energy efficiency test values published in the 2025 Vehicle Fuel Economy Guide were measured under standardized laboratory conditions. In real-world driving, fuel economy may be affected by various factors such as weather, road and traffic conditions, use of air conditioning, and individual driving habits. Therefore, the actual driving distance per liter of gasoline (or diesel) or per kilowatt-hour of electricity may be lower than the values shown in the Guide, and the public is advised to use the information as a reference.

The 2025 Chinese version of the Vehicle Fuel Economy Guide has been published on the Energy Administration's official website (https://www.moeaea.gov.tw). The public is welcome to download the guide. You can also visit the following website (https://EA03.moeaea.gov.tw/e0416/) for fuel economy information on specific vehicle models and refer to the "General Inquiry" section or the "EV Energy Efficiency Inquiry" page.

      <description><![CDATA[The Small and Medium Enterprise and Startup Administration (SMESA) of the Ministry of Economic Affairs has long collaborated with the management consulting industry to promote the upgrading and transformation of micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) and to enhance their personal data protection capabilities. To further assist management consulting businesses in adapting to the new regulations of the Personal Data Protection Act (PDPA) and meeting client demands for personal data protection, SMESA compiled the "Practical Guideline Manual for Personal Data Protection and Management in the Management Consulting Industry" last year and published it on its website. To date, it has garnered over 40,000 views and downloads. In the afternoon, May 27th, SMESA held the "Management Consulting Industry Personal Data Protection Advocacy Briefing," featuring opening remarks by Director General Lee. Experts were invited to explain the new PDPA regulations and the practical guidelines for personal data protection and management. Combined with practical case analyses, the briefing aimed to help management consulting businesses quickly grasp the key points of personal data protection and cybersecurity, thereby elevating their awareness and capabilities in personal data management.
SMESA explained that in the process of assisting MSMEs with their transformation, the management consulting industry frequently handles cross-industry and cross-disciplinary client operational data, encompassing diverse fields such as marketing, finance, sustainable development, international certification, and human resources. Furthermore, the necessity of utilizing tools like big data analysis and artificial intelligence to expand business scope has correspondingly increased both the volume and risk of personal data processing. The aforementioned guideline manual was compiled by SMESA based on practical experience in guiding businesses. Its content covers various practical scenarios applicable to both large consulting firms and small-to-medium consulting companies, helping businesses establish compliant systems. By organizing these advocacy briefings, SMESA hopes to encourage more businesses to effectively implement client personal data protection measures.
The briefing invited personal data protection experts from the Science and Technology Law Institute (STLI) of the Institute for Information Industry and KPMG Advisory Services Co., Ltd. to share insights on the new PDPA regulations, key points of administrative inspections, and the practicalities of filling out the self-assessment checklist. Combined with the analysis of management consulting industry cases, this helped businesses grasp the essentials of establishing a personal data protection system. Nearly 50 representatives from the management consulting industry attended the event, demonstrating the industry's significant focus on client personal data protection issues. SMESA also plans to hold subsequent briefings in Taichung and Kaohsiung in the near future to assist more management consulting businesses in implementing personal data protection tasks. The electronic version of the "Practical Guideline Manual for Personal Data Protection and Management in the Management Consulting Industry" has been made publicly available on the SMESA website (https://www.sme.gov.tw/list-tw-2946). Businesses and enterprises intending to strengthen their personal data protection management are welcome to download and utilize it extensively. SMESA will work hand in hand with the industry to jointly create a trustworthy industrial environment and safeguard the personal data security of corporate clients.

      <title><![CDATA[37 years of residential summer electricity rates: average annual rate remains unchanged, 4.01 million households unaffected, 70% of users pay less than NT$3 per kWh]]></title>

      <description><![CDATA[June 1, 2026-Residential summer electricity rates take effect starting today. A Taipower representative expressed that Taipower adheres to the practices of electricity providers in international markets such as the USA, Japan, and the UK: For the past 37 years, since 1989, Taipower has implemented summer electricity rates on an annual basis during the months from June through September. The summer electricity rate system is not actually a rate increase, and the average annual electricity rate remains unchanged.

Rather, air conditioner use during the summer months increases electricity consumption by 40% compared to that of non-summer months, resulting in higher utility bills for the public. However, 4.01 million users throughout Taiwan are not impacted, and for over 70% of users, the average rate remains at less than NT$3 per kWh. Meanwhile, the highest rate tier-NT$8.86 per kWh-applies only to the portion exceeding 1000 kWh. The average power consumption of over 97% of users nationwide is less than 1000 kWh, meaning that this rate tier does not apply to them.

A Taipower representative emphasized that residential summer electricity rates are implemented for a set period of 4 months each year during the summer season, and comprise a portion or the average electricity rate-they do not constitute a rate increase, and the average annual electricity price remains the same. To reflect the difference in the cost or supplying electricity during the summer and non-summer months, Taipower applies higher rates during the summer months and lower rates during non-summer months in accordance with the average electricity rate approved by the Electricity Tariff Review Committee, guiding customers to increase power consumption efficiency and promote energy conservation.

A Taipower representative explained that last year (2025), the average monthly electricity consumption per household in Taiwan was 308 kWh during the non-summer period. During the summer (June through September), due to the hotter temperature, monthly electricity consumption rose to 418 kWh per household, an increase of nearly 40% compared to the non-summer period, which also increased monthly electricity bills by approximately NT$446 on average. Of this amount, NT$326 (73%) arose from increased power consumption, whereas only NT$120 (27%) could be attributed to summer electricity rates.

A Taipower representative further explained that residential summer electricity rates are only applicable to customers with monthly power consumption of over 120 kWh. Nationwide, nearly 30% of customers-a total of 4.01 million households-consume an average of 120 kWh per month or less. If these customers maintain their ordinary power consumption habits, they will not be impacted by summer electricity rates in any way. An additional 40% of customers-a total of 5.2 million households-consume between 121-330 kWh of electricity monthly, resulting in a maximum cost increase of approximately NT$2 per day during the summer months. For more than 70% of users, the average rate per kWh remains below NT$3. The summer rate primarily impacts the 2.4% of residential customers whose monthly power consumption exceeds 1000 kWh. Taipower also called on these households to collectively conserve electricity.

In response to media reports claiming that this year's summer electricity rate schedule is the most expensive in history, a Taipower representative explained that residential electricity rates are calculated using a progressive pricing structure, i.e., each consumption tier has its own set rate, and only the portion of electricity consumption exceeding a given tier is charged in accordance with the higher tier. For example, the rate for power consumption in excess of 1000 kWh is NT$8.86; if a customer's power consumption is 1001 kWh, only the 1 kWh that exceeds 1000 kWh will be impacted. Moreover, over 97% of residential customers consume an average of 1000 kWh per month or less, so the NT$8.86 rate does not apply to them.

      <description><![CDATA[Supported by the Executive Yuan, the Bureau of Industrial Parks (BIP) under the Ministry of Economic Affairs (MOEA) successfully secured a special budge of NT$588 million to construct the "Innovation Industry Building" in the Nanzih Technology Industrial Pard (NTIP). A completion ceremony and tenant signing event were held on May 28, 2026. Due to strong demand for industrial space, the building achieved full occupancy immediately upon completion. The project is expected to attract approximately NT$375 million in new investment, generate annual output valued at NT$266 million, and create around 600 job opportunities. The building comprises two basement levels and ten above-ground floors, providing approximately 10,000 square meters of industrial space for corporate R&D and operational offices, while also enhancing the park's living and service functions.
During the ceremony, Chief Secretary of MOEA Chuang Ming-Chih stated that construction of the Nanzih Innovation Industry Building began in February 2023 and was successfully completed under the support of the Executive Yuan's Forward-looking Infrastructure Development Program. The project demonstrates the achievements of central and local government collaboration in promoting industrial infrastructure development. Its rapid completion and immediate full occupancy reflect the strong growth momentum of industries in southern Taiwan. With leading enterprises such as ASE Semiconductor, ASE Test, Inc., and Applied Materials Taiwan moving into the building, the project is expected to further stimulate technology exchange and investment spillover effects, thereby strengthening the overall industrial development capacity. The MOEA will continue promoting industrial park upgrades and space optimization in response to industry development needs, while supporting Taiwan's critical role in the global technology supply chain.
Yang Chih-Ching, Director-General of the BIP, noted that the site was formerly occupied by the park police squad facilities. After demolishing low-efficiency buildings, the site was redeveloped with a high-density, multifunctional, vertically integrated design, significantly improving land-use efficiency. This development model not only alleviates the shortage of industrial land but also transforms limited space into a high-value industrial environment, symbolizing the park's transition from a traditional manufacturing base toward R&D and high-value-added development.
The ceremony also included tenant signing activities attended by representatives from ASE Semiconductor, ASE Test, Inc., and Applied Materials Taiwan, symbolizing strong industry confidence in the future development of the NTIP. The three major companies span key sectors including semiconductor packaging and testing, electronic materials, and semiconductor equipment. Their presence is expected to further strengthen upstream and downstream integration across the industrial supply chain, while enhancing the park's technological capabilities and international competitiveness.
The project also aligns with the government's policy direction of upgrading local industrial parks. By revitalizing existing public land, increasing building floor area ratios, and introducing mixed-use functions, the project creates higher industrial output value and a more comprehensive industrial service environment. The fact that the building achieved full occupancy immediately upon completion demonstrates the strong demand for high-quality R&D office space and reflects the continued expansion of the semiconductor industry in southern Taiwan.
The BIP emphasized that it will continue promoting the renewal of administrative facilities and gradually release additional industrial space, while introducing smart management systems and low-carbon building designs to enhance the overall competitiveness of industrial parks. With the official opening of the Innovation Industry Building, the government's "Greater Southern New Silicon Valley Corridor" initiative has become more comprehensive, further advancing the regional development goal of achieving "Balanced Taiwan."
The completion ceremony and tenant signing event for the Innovation Industry Building was hosted by MOEA Secretary-General Chuang Ming-Chih. Distinguished guests included Wang Chi-Chuan, Deputy Secretary-General of the Kaohsiung City Government; Wang Mei-Hua, Independent Director of Taishin Shin Kong Financial Holding Co., Ltd.; Yang Chih-Ching, Director-General of the BIP; Legislator Hsu Chih-Chieh; and representatives from industry sectors.

      <description><![CDATA[The Bureau of Industrial Parks (BIP) of the Ministry of Economic Affairs (MOEA) held a press conference on April 20, 2026 to present the phased achievements and future plans of of BIP's childcare policy initiatives within industrial parks. BIP stated that a total of seven educational and childcare facilities, comprising 21 classes nationwide, have been established to provide educational services for 416 children, continuously optimizing family-friendly childcare support within industrial parks. In addition, plans are underway to establish a public infant care center in the Nanzih Technology Industrial Parks, which is expected to provide capacity for 60 infants and toddlers aged 0 to 2. This initiative aims to gradually build a comprehensive childcare service system spanning from infancy to preschool age, helping enterprises center more attractive working environments while demonstrating the government's commitment to the "National Childcare Policy for Ages 0-6."
The BIP noted that the industrial parks under its jurisdiction represent a major hub for Taiwan's manufacturing sector and small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), hosting more than 13,000 companies with an annual production value reaching NT$10 trillion and generating over 730,000 employment opportunities. In response to ongoing labor shortages and increasing operational pressures faced by businesses, the BIP has partnered with the Ministry of Health and Welfare and the Ministry of Education to promote childcare facilities and supportive measures. Currently, two non-profit preschools and five workplace mutual-support childcare service centers receive operational subsidies from the Ministry of Education to ensure service quality and stable supply. In terms of fees, monthly tuition is capped at NT$2,000 for the first child, NT$1,000 for the second child, and free of charge for the third child and beyond. Extend daycare services and year-round operation without winter and summer effectively address the demand of double-income families. Furthermore, in2025, the BIP successfully secured NT$22.82 million funding to establish an approximately 736.6 square meter childcare facility in the Nanzih Park, which is expected to be completed and officially operational by 2027.
On the policy front, the government is also introducing several flexible childcare measures. Beginning in 2026, employees will be allowed to apply for unpaid parental leave on a daily basis, while family care leave will be calculated by the hour, thereby increasing flexibility for workers caring for their families. At the same time, through the "Enterprise Childcare 333" initiative, incentives for companies to establish childcare facilities and provide childcare subsidies will be extended. Employers may receive subsidies for up to NT$10,000 per employee annually, with the overall subsidy ceiling for each enterprise increased to NT$1 million, encouraging more businesses to invest in family-friendly workplace environments. 
In addition, the BIP is incorporating childcare facility assessments into future industrial park development projects, including the planned industrial parks in Zhongpu, Shuishang, Xinshi, and Northern Kaohsiung, thereby strengthening childcare infrastructure from the planning stage onward. In addition, the BIP is incorporating childcare facility assessments into future through cross-ministerial collaboration with the Ministry of Education and the Ministry of Health and Welfare, the BIP seeks to progressively integrate infant care and preschool education resources, align with corporate participation and ESG development trends, and enhance the overall  In addition, the Administration is incorporating childcare facility assessments into futureThrough cross-ministerial collaboration with the Ministry of Education and the Ministry of Health and Welfare, the Administration seeks to progressively integrate infant care and preschool education resources, align with corporate participation and ESG development trends, and enhance the overall quality and talent attractiveness of Taiwan's industrial environment. 
The BIP emphasized that, as childcare capacity continues to expand and supporting systems are gradually put in place, industrial parks will continue advancing toward a development model that balances employment and family needs. Moving forward, the BIP will continue assessing the needs of individual industrial parks, dynamically adjusting childcare resource allocation, and working together with enterprises to create a more comprehensive childcare support environment, thereby strengthening workforce stability and the long-term foundation of industrial development.

      <description><![CDATA[Yesterday (May 27), the Ministry of Environment convened an Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) Review Committee Meeting, which approved the Dajia River Guangming Pumped Storage Hydropower Project. Today (May 28), a Taipower representative expressed that pumped storage hydropower is internationally recognized as a mature energy storage technology. It is characterized by quick response that is conducive enhancing power dispatch flexibility and power system stability. Taipower thanked the EIA Review Committee and people from all sectors for their support, and vowed to fully implement its EIA commitments. Additionally, Taipower will continue to communicate and cooperate with local Indigenous communities in accordance with The Indigenous Peoples Basic Law, aiming to achieve local co-creation and co-prosperity through the Guangming Project.

A Taipower representative explained that the Guangming Pumped Storage Hydropower Project uses the existing Deji Reservoir and Guguan Reservoir as upper and lower basins, circulating the water to generate electricity through the drop in elevation. Taipower plans to install four pumped hydropower units with a combined capacity of no more than 610,000 kilowatts. The primary facility will be constructed underground and does not require any new dam systems, so it will not impact the course of the Dajia River. The project places equal emphasis on diversified energy development and environmental protection.

In response to public concern regarding the safety of tunnel construction and the piling of soil and gravel, a Taipower representative expressed that construction will be executed in accordance with its previous experience safely constructing power plants in the Dajia River Basin, and it will incorporate the guidance and opinions of experts from various fields and the EIA Review Committee. Additionally, Taipower will conduct monitoring during the construction and operation phases to ensure the safety of the Guangming Project.

A Taipower representative expressed that because the Guangming Project is partially located in the traditional territories of Indigenous peoples, Taipower will maintain good communication with the affected tribes to promote mutual understanding of the local area and the project based on respect and honesty. Taipower will also implement relevant procedures under The Indigenous Peoples Basic Law and simultaneously enhance environmentally friendly measures to jointly promote the sustainable development of the surrounding ecology and environment.

      <description><![CDATA[Taipower has an inseparable relationship with the ocean. Since the construction of the No. 1 Nuclear Plant in 1971, Taipower has been engaged in exploration and research of marine ecology. This year (2026), Taipower celebrates its 80th anniversary. Today (May 26), Taipower held a special Ecological Sustainability Press Conference to look back on the Company's concrete achievements in promoting oceanic survey and ecological conservation. Additionally, a documentary by famous underwater film director Yuan Hsu-Hu was screened for the first time, allowing audiences to peek at the beautiful seabed ecology beneath the power plant facilities through a camera lens.

Today, Taipower held the 2026 Ecological Sustainability Press Conference at the Taipower Building, with the theme Taipower 80: Coexisting with the Ocean. Taipower Chairman Tseng Wen-Sheng presided, inviting distinguished scholars from the domestic marine ecology field, including Academia Sinica Academician Chen-Tung Arthur Chen; National Taiwan Ocean University Honorary Chair Professor Shao Kwang-Tsao; National Sun Yat-sen University Professor Fang Lee-Shing; Former Deputy Minister of the Ocean Affairs Council Huang Hsiang-Wen; National Sun Yat-sen University Professors Sung Ke-Yi, Chen Meng-Hsien, and Liu Li-Lien; National Taiwan Ocean University Professor Hwang Jiang-Shiou; and National Taiwan University Professors Sen Jan and Ko Chia-Ying. Taipower Department of Environmental Protection Director Wu Cheng-Hung also shared Taipower's philosophy and achievements in marine research. 

Taipower Chairman Tseng Wen-Sheng expressed that because Taiwan's large-scale electric power plants require the application of seawater to conduct heat exchange, they are constructed close to the ocean; at the same time, Taipower gives back to the ocean through concrete actions. Wherever power plants exist, they are accompanied by Taipower marine ecology research projects. Under the long-term supervision of countless scholars, Taipower has engaged in continuous exploration and protection of marine ecology. Taipower has also made its years of accumulated ecological survey data available through open platforms to facilitate cooperation with all sectors of society and teach everyone more about the ocean.

Academia Sinica Academician Chen-Tung Arthur Chen expressed that the representativeness of data is key in marine surveys. The six survey stations outside the No. 3 Nuclear Plant have never changed positions, and have accumulated over 30 years of long-term monitoring data, which even shows the Pacific decadal oscillation. These solid data are trusted not only within scientific circles but also among the general population. Former Deputy Minister of the Ocean Affairs Council Huang Hsiang-Wen expressed congratulations to Taipower for being honored among the first batch of certified marine OECMs, and expressed hope that Taipower's contributions to ecological conservation will become an industrywide model, inspiring more companies to collectively invest in and peacefully coexist with nature.

A Taipower representative explained that Taiwan's first large-scale marine ecological research project was launched in 1972, focusing on the marine ecology surrounding the No. 1 Nuclear Plant. Subsequently, Taipower also embraced the same research spirit, progressively expanding its ecological practices to other power generation sites, and engaging in long-term collaboration with scholars and experts professionals. The Company is devoted to constructing power facilities that coexist with ecology, while accumulating precious survey monitoring data and results.

Taking the No. 3 Nuclear Plant as an example, through scientific studies of corals, researchers have discovered a model for the coexistence of corals and power plant operations. Additionally, they have discovered extremely rare heat-resistant corals inside power plant water outlets, which provide new possibilities for coral restoration in the face of global warming. Taipower has also cooperated with the National Museum of Marine Biology & Aquarium to conduct underwater recording and monitoring of coral spawning in the waters of South Bay. Moreover, the No. 3 Nuclear Plant survey stations have operated continuously for over 30 years, accumulating long-term and stable observation data on the Kuroshio current, which is helpful for understanding changes in ocean currents and fishery distributions. This not only provides an important foundation for marine ecology conservation and research but also benefits local fisheries.

In recent years, Taiwan's development of offshore wind power and other emerging energy sources has prompted Taipower to active research how to coexist with marine ecology. A Taipower representative pointed out that the underwater foundation of the Taipower Changhua Phase 1 Offshore Wind Power Project already displays the fish-attracting effect of an artificial reef, and has attracting many species of reef fish to nest there. Taipower's Phase 1 Offshore Wind Power Project has obtained OECMs certification from the Ocean Conservation Administration, making Taipower part of the first batch of state-owned enterprises to receive marine OECMs certification. 

In recent years, Taipower has also transformed its long-term accumulation of ecological observations into moving stories through documentary filmmaking, successively releasing the ecological documentaries Taiwan's "Wild Bird" Power Station, set in the Yongan Wetlands surrounding the Hsinta Power Plant in Kaohsiung, and The Great Bat Relocation Project, featuring the Taixi Wind Farm in Yunlin. Today also marked the first public screening of  Director Yuan Hsu-Hu's documentary That is What the Ocean Has Taught Us. Filmed onsite at the Lanyu Storage Site, the seawater intake of the No. 3 Nuclear Plant, the Phase 1 Offshore Wind Farm, and Hsieh-ho Power Plant, the film gives the public an opportunity to see Taipower's investment in marine ecology conservation, as well as the tangible results.

      <link>https://www.moea.gov.tw/MNS/english/news/News.aspx?kind=6&amp;menu_id=176&amp;news_id=123404</link>
      <description><![CDATA[Offshore wind farms aid in the development of marine ecosystems! Taipower is committed to constructing electrical sites that coexist with nature. In March, the Dajia River and Wanda Power Plants were certified as domestic terrestrial OECMs. Now, Taipower's Phase 1 Offshore Wind Farm has been honored among Taiwan's first batch of certified marine OECMs. An award ceremony was held today, (May 22). A Taipower representative expressed that the 21 turbines of the Phase 1 Offshore Wind Farm generate over 300 million kWh of green energy annually. The underwater foundations can also function as artificial reefs, which promotes the development of marine biodiversity. Taipower remains committed to balancing its mission to provide stable electricity with the goal of environmental conservation.

Today, the Ocean Affairs Council held the Presentation Ceremony for Taiwan's First Recognized Marine OECMs at the NTUH International Convention Center. Taipower Chairman Tseng Wen-Sheng accepted the certificate of recognition from Ocean Affairs Council Minister Kuan Bi-Ling. Taipower's Phase 1 Offshore Wind Farm was recognized alongside the undeveloped area of CPC Corporation's Guantang LNG Terminal, and Taiwan Cement Corporation's Hoping Industrial Port Corporation, becoming Taiwan's first batch of marine OECMs.

A Taipower representative expressed that the Phase 1 Offshore Wind Farm is located off the coast of Fangyuan Township, Changhua County. It formally commenced operation at the end of 2021. The 21 turbines generate over 300 million kWh of green energy per year, meeting the energy needs of more than 70,000 households. Additionally, their underwater foundations function as artificial reefs. As barnacles, sponges, and other organisms attached themselves to the surface of the foundation, orange-spotted grouper, five-lined snapper, and other reef fish were attracted to live there, transforming what was once a sandy seabed into an ecologically diverse reef ecosystem.

A Taipower representative further expressed that according to the monitoring data collected by the National Taiwan Ocean University research team, in the waters of Phase 1 Offshore Wind Farm, the number of fish species has grown from 118 before construction to 171 today, increasing by nearly 50%. Additionally, the fish species inside the wind farm include many species that serve as potential prey for the Indo-Pacific humpback dolphin, indicating that the wind farm and surrounding waters exhibit ecological connectivity, thereby enhancing the ecological value of the dolphins' habitat.

A Taipower representative pointed out that to ensure the long-term development of the ecology in the waters of the Phase 1 Offshore Wind Farm, Taipower regularly conducts offshore maintenance of both the turbines and the surrounding marine environment, and has also established an emergency response mechanism with the Coast Guard Administration to respond quickly to unexpected incidents. The Company also conducts underwater visual inspections to track and understands the ecology in the wind farm marine area. These monitoring results are published on the Taipower website on a quarterly basis. Taipower also actively engages in exchange and communication with local fishing communities by conducting information sessions and workshops, inviting local fishers to serve as cetacean observers, and encouraging local talents to work in the wind farm industry, joining hands with people from all walks of life to jointly protect the marine environment.

Ho Chin-tsang, Political Deputy Minister of the MOEA, stated that following the Executive Yuan's approval of the Intelligent Robotics Industry Promotion Program under the New Ten Major AI Constructions initiative, the Department of Industrial Technology (DoIT) allocated NT$3 billion over four years to support ITRI in building this national-level center. 

The facility is designed around three strategic pillars. First, it targets four vertical sectors-healthcare, logistics, food services, and disaster response-providing developers with system integration, AI perception, critical module development, and site validation capabilities. This will strengthen core software-hardware systems and simulation platforms for service robots, shortening the path from lab to market.

Second, the center engages industry partners from the early stages of technology and business development, accelerating commercialization.

Third, by integrating key technologies and linking the Liuja and Shalun campuses, it assists companies with customized site validation and optimization to accelerate product launches, enabling Taiwanese firms to transition from component suppliers to comprehensive solution providers.

The center leverages ITRI's deep R&D capabilities, positioning demonstration sandboxes and startup incubation as core missions. It offers robust validation and testing environments to help startups and small and medium-sized enterprises commercialize technologies. It also serves as an accelerator, providing dedicated incubation spaces and high-end GPU computing power capable of executing multiple complex simulations, including Universal Scene Description (USD) frameworks, real-time ray-tracing rendering, and intricate digital twin physics modeling. In business operations, the accelerator provides team formation, commercial strategy development, market positioning, and connections with corporate investors and National Development Fund (NDF) venture capital resources, helping local startups scale into mid- to large-sized enterprises.

The MOEA has long invested scientific resources to drive technological R&D and industrial transformation in southern Taiwan. Through ITRI's Southern Region Campus, the ministry established a laser R&D base and established the Southern Taiwan Innovation Park, helping more than 400 local companies upgrade their technology and develop compound semiconductor capabilities over the past three years. Building on this foundation, the new center focuses on AI and smart robotics to create an innovation ecosystem collaboration. By connecting Tainan's Shalun facility and the Liuying cluster into the "AI Industry Golden Triangle," it will integrate components, AI models, and complete system services. This will foster collaboration among industry, academia, and research, accelerate mass production, strengthen the localization of R&D takes root in southern Taiwan for balanced regional development, and continuously promote high-quality  "Made in Taiwan" smart robotics solutions to strengthen Taiwan's role in the global AI supply chain.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[In response to the challenges posed by extreme weather and to enhance disaster response capabilities, today (May 19), Taipower joined hands with Taiwan's largest private charity organization-Tzu Chi Foundation-to sign a memorandum of understanding (MOU). Taipower and Tzu Chi share a goal of disaster response, and both sides maintain service facilities throughout Taiwan. Through reciprocal facility support, Taipower can temporarily place emergency repair materials in Jing Si Halls, which will accelerate repairs and power restoration after disasters. Tzu Chi can also use Taipower facilities as staging sites to aid disaster-stricken areas. Through mutual assistance, both sides will join hands in an effort to help disaster victims resume their normal lives as quickly as possible.

On May 19, Taipower joined hands with the Tzu Chi Foundation to sign an MOU on Disaster Prevention and Emergency Resources Integration. The agreement was signed by Taipower Chairman Tseng Wen-Sheng and Tzu Chi CEO Yen Po-Wen. It focuses on developing four collaborative facets: the establishment of electricity emergency repair relay stations, philanthropic care for disadvantaged groups, environmental sustainability education, and volunteer service exchange.

A Taipower representative explained that the highlight of this collaboration is mutual facility support, which will build a faster disaster response network. During disasters, Tzu Chi will open designated Jing Si Halls throughout Taiwan to serve as temporary relay stations where Taipower can store utility poles, power lines, and other materials necessary for emergency repairs, enhancing the overall speed of post-disaster electricity restoration. Taipower, in turn, will allow regional business offices and service centers throughout Taiwan to serve as Tzu Chi disaster relief stations, enabling volunteers to immediately enter disaster areas and provide assistance.

A Taipower representative expressed that when natural disasters such as typhoons and earthquakes cause power outages, Taipower's emergency repair personnel must often overcome severe weather and rugged terrain as they rush to the affected site, restoring power to affected communities. Tzu Chi volunteers are also among the first to enter disaster areas to bring people material goods and compassionate support. This collaboration will combine Taipower's goal of a resilient power supply with Tzu Chi's humanistic care, integrating both sides' disaster relief capabilities to jointly protect the people of Taiwan.

Tzu Chi Foundation CEO Yen Po-Wen expressed that Taipower personnel who brave the elements and rush to disaster sites to restore the power are unsung heroes who keep society functioning. Meanwhile, Tzu Chi volunteers adhere to the spirit of "first to arrive and last to leave" to provide disaster victims with material and spiritual comfort. Through this collaboration, both sides will establish standardized operational procedures and safety management mechanisms to ensure that during a state of emergency, emergency power restoration and philanthropic aid can be executed side by side, substantially boosting society's disaster resilience.

A Taipower representative pointed out that aside from strengthening disaster response capabilities, both sides also will deepen cooperation through multiple public welfare initiatives, integrating Taipower's electricity expertise and Tzu Chi's social services capabilities to promote cooperation in care for vulnerable groups and emergency aid. Additionally, they intend to jointly promote energy conservation, carbon reduction, and environmental sustainability education; raise public awareness of disaster preparedness and sustainable practices through educational outreach; and expand volunteer exchange programs to further strengthen their public service capacity.

      <dc:description>Conventional smart sportswear requires attaching external sensor modules or circuit boards, raising cost and limiting washability. AI Sensing Yoga Wear solves this by weaving deformation-sensing and elastic yarns directly into fabric during manufacturing, making the garment itself a real-time motion sensor with no added hardware-fundamentally different from prior processes that attach electronics onto textiles. The result is a soft, machine-washable garment paired with an AI app for real-time voice-guided posture correction. Production cost and complexity drop by nearly 50%, enabling mass production. The technology creates new industrial value in a smart-textile category extensible to medical monitoring and rehabilitation, aligning with SDG 3 and SDG 9.</dc:description>

Furthermore, the software introduces three major innovations. First, it integrates interactive guidance, speech recognition, and text-to-speech to create a dynamic feedback cueing mechanism that simulates common therapeutic prompting techniques based on user responses. Second, it features AI-driven therapeutic guidance. The software combines clinical and general corpora with in-context learning to dynamically adjust dialogues according to context and learning progress. Third, the software applies Natural Language Processing (NLP) to evaluate language abilities in semantics, syntax, and pragmatic, and then generating personalized learning reports.

For applications, MIRDC has partnered with more than 10 medical and educational institutions, and 81% of cases show improvements in language comprehension and verbal expression. In the future, the software will expand into applications such as aphasia rehabilitation, special education, home-based rehabilitation, and cross-language training, with the goal of building a sustainable intelligent speech therapy ecosystem.]]></description>

      <title><![CDATA[Government Carefully Assesses Nuclear Power to Strengthen Power Supply Stability and System Resilience in Response to Global Energy Developments and AI-Driven Electricity Demand]]></title>
      <link>https://www.moea.gov.tw/MNS/english/news/News.aspx?kind=6&amp;menu_id=176&amp;news_id=122686</link>
      <description><![CDATA[Amid public concern over the government's position on the license renewal and restart of nuclear power plants, the Ministry of Economic Affairs (MOEA) stated that the government remains committed to maintaining a stable power supply, ensuring energy security, and achieving steady carbon reduction as the core focuses of energy transition in response to evolving global energy landscape, domestic economic development, and rising electricity demand driven by emerging technologies such as Artificial Intelligence (AI). On this basis, the government will prudently address issues related to the license renewal and potential restart of nuclear power plants, grounded in safety, legal frameworks, and public communication.

The MOEA specifically noted that restarting nuclear power units involves a series of procedures, including professional inspections, technical evaluation, and safety reviews. Power generation may only resume after all required procedures have been completed and the necessary electricity license for power generation has been obtained; the submission of a restart plan alone does not authorize immediate operation. Taiwan Power Company (TPC) has signed a contract with the original equipment manufacturer, Westinghouse Electric Company, to carry out self-initiated safety inspections for the Maanshan Nuclear Power Plant. A restart plan is scheduled to be submitted to the Nuclear Safety Commission (NSC) for review by the end of March. For the Kuosheng Nuclear Power Plant, TPC has sought technical support from the original equipment manufacturer, General Electric Company. Relevant safety inspection procedures will proceed only after the completion of outdoor dry storage facilities and the removal of spent fuel from the reactor core. The MOEA will supervise TPC in conducting all related procedures in compliance with international regulations and with the support of the original equipment manufacturers, while coordinating with the NSC in the review process.

In response to public concerns regarding the recent rapid growth in electricity demand driven by the AI and semiconductor industries, as well as issues related to power supply stability, the MOEA stated that, every year, the government conducts reviews of power supply and demand planning on a rolling basis, including various industrial development scenarios into the assessment process. In recent years, rapid advances in AI-related innovation have accelerated Taiwan's economic growth and driven significant expansion in the semiconductor industry and AI supply chain, leading to a marked increase in long-term electricity demand. At the same time, rising geopolitical risks have added uncertainties to energy supply. In future reviews, the government will assess a range of energy mix scenarios to further strengthen power supply stability.

The MOEA further noted a number of challenges faced during the promotion of renewable energy, including misinformation, stigmatization, irrational opposition, and increasingly stringent regulatory conditions. Nevertheless, Taiwan's installed renewable energy capacity has steadily increased over the past decade, rising from 4.7 GW to 22.9 GW. Continued support from all sectors remains essential to strengthening the international competitiveness of domestic industries. Moving forward, the MOEA will uphold its commitment to providing accurate information on renewable energy, maintaining transparency, and enhancing public communication to address concerns, ensure steady development of green electricity, and reinforce the global competitiveness of Taiwan's industries.

Finally, the MOEA emphasized that any restart of nuclear power plants through the license renewal process must strictly comply with nuclear safety regulations. The process involves comprehensive self-inspections and professional assessments conducted by TPC, as well as safety reviews by the NSC. Any decision regarding the restart of nuclear power plants must be handled prudently, based on three core principles: ensuring nuclear safety, establishing viable solutions for nuclear waste management, and achieving social consensus.

      <description><![CDATA[The Ministry of Economic Affairs (MOEA) of Taiwan today (May 12) announced Taiwan's results at the 2026 Edison Awards, marking another landmark year for the country at what is widely regarded as "the Oscars of Innovation." In total, Taiwan received 16 awards this year, joining other winners including Dell, Medtronic, and Dow.

MOEA-affiliated research institutions took home three gold, six silver, and three bronze awards. Winners included the Industrial Technology Research Institute (ITRI), the Metal Industries Research & Development Centre (MIRDC), and the Taiwan Textile Research Institute (TTRI). The awarded technologies have been commercialized through partnerships with companies such as Mizuno and Sangtech Lab, helping accelerate industry transformation.

ITRI claimed three gold and two silver awards. Its LigamiX, co-developed with TTRI, earned a gold award for addressing long-standing limitations of conventional artificial ligaments, including poor biocompatibility, inflammation and rejection risks, and material degradation that can lead to breakage. Combining polymer-bioceramic composite fibers with a porous bionic textile structure, the technology delivers up to three times the strength of commercially available products while promoting bone regeneration and tissue adherence. Through collaboration with traditional textile manufacturers, ITRI transformed a textile material originally worth less than US$1 into an artificial ligament commanding a unit price of US$2,500. 

Another gold winner, Prognosis Monitoring System (PMS), addresses the costly risks of sudden production line failures that lead to product loss and unplanned downtime. Using AI to continuously monitor equipment conditions and predict anomalies before failure, PMS significantly reduces unexpected shutdowns. In a single instance during semiconductor manufacturing, the system prevented an estimated loss of US$5 million. The technology has since expanded into industries including machine tools, energy, and petrochemicals. 

Also earning gold, Sustainable Pavement Material Recycling introduces a first-of-its-kind asphalt-aggregate separation process that resolves the longstanding disposal burden of reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP). Using a proprietary biological agent and a water-based heating process, the technology converts 100% of RAP into reusable paving material, generating approximately US$50 in value per ton of recycled material. At scale, the technology could help Taiwan reduce quarrying by approximately 4.85 million tons annually while cutting carbon emissions by 270,000 tons per year.

MIRDC took home two silver and two bronze awards. The silver award-winning ThermoMind Smart Energy-efficiency Combustion System tackles the longstanding inefficiencies of traditional furnaces, which have traditionally struggled with significant heat loss and a heavy reliance on manual adjustment. Targeting energy-intensive industrial furnace applications, ThermoMind delivers real-time combustion adjustment and waste heat recovery, helping industries reduce carbon emissions by over 110,000 metric tons to date. 

Also earning silver, MagicABC addresses the shortage of Mandarin-speaking speech-language pathologists and the limitations of one-way training systems. Through an AI-powered Speech-Language Pathology Agent (SLP-Agent) and interactive lesson plans, MagicABC helps children with language delays practice verbal expression. The system has already been adopted by more than 10 medical and educational institutions, including Kaohsiung Medical University Hospital and Kaohsiung Municipal United Hospital.

TTRI claimed two Silver and one Bronze awards. The silver award-winning A Slice of Running Shoe disrupts traditional footwear assembly by integrating precision melt-blown automation to slash the conventional eight-step process down to just two. This leap in efficiency allows a shoe upper to be completed in a six minutes; furthermore, its mono-material construction ensures the product is both ultra-lightweight and fully recyclable, addressing critical goals in the circular economy.

Securing another Silver, the CellNet Leukocyte Reduction Filter, co-developed with Sangtech Lab, enhances transfusion safety by removing white blood cells from blood products. The manufacturing process replaces conventional solvents and heavy water usage with supercritical carbon dioxide fluid technology, enabling a cleaner, lower-carbon production of medical devices under entirely solvent-free and waterless conditions.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[To support global energy transition and net-zero emissions goals, TSC today (May 5) signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the U.S. Grains & BioProducts Council (USGBC) to establish a cooperation platform on bioethanol production technologies and applications, aiming to advance the development of the biofuels industry and accelerate Taiwan's net-zero transformation.

At 10 a.m. today, TSC Chairman Wu Ming-Chang and USGBC Global Vice President Cary Sifferath signed the "MOU on Technical Exchange and Promotion Cooperation for Bioethanol" in the presence of Steve Burgoon, Deputy Chief of the Agricultural Section at the American Institute in Taiwan (AIT). The agreement marks a new milestone in Taiwan-U.S. green energy cooperation and reflects TSC's commitment to national net-zero goals, as well as its efforts to connect with global biofuel technologies and industry resources under "TSC at 80: Sustainable Momentum," advancing circular economy and green energy development.

TSC noted that bioethanol can serve as a blending component for transportation fuels and is closely linked to the future development of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF). It plays a pivotal role in reducing transport-sector emissions, strengthening alternative fuel strategies, and enhancing the resilience of Taiwan's green supply chain.

Going forward, TSC will work with USGBC and other international partners to exchange expertise on bioethanol production technologies, application promotion, fuel standards, and market development. The collaboration will also help raise Taiwan's international visibility in bioenergy and contribute to the nation's low-carbon transport development and industrial net-zero transition.
