      <description><![CDATA[The Ministry of Economic Affairs (MOEA) announced the establishment of the Quantum Industry Technology Promotion Office (QITPO), as part of efforts to transition Taiwan from its "Silicon Island" role toward broader participation in emerging quantum technologies. This initiative is intended not only to create a new administrative body but also to coordinate resources and industry development. The primary objective of QITPO is to support Taiwanese manufacturers in the early stages of quantum development by strengthening their technical capabilities and industrial presence, enabling greater participation in the global supply chain and advancing the concept of "Quantum Taiwan."

During the launch ceremony, Minister of Economic Affairs Kung Ming-hsin noted that, following the global surge in AI, quantum technology is increasingly seen as the next major technological shift. He outlined three areas where Taiwan brings existing strengths: technology, manufacturing, and system integration. In terms of technology, Taiwan's expertise in connector technology-essential for bridging the gap between room temperature and the near-absolute-zero environments required for quantum computing-is considered competitive globally. It also has established capabilities in control chips and other key components. In manufacturing, Taiwan's experience in semiconductor fabrication and advanced packaging provides a strong foundation for qubit production and heterogeneous integration. In system integration, Taiwanese companies have experience in assembling diverse components into functional systems, a capability that may become increasingly important as quantum computing moves toward practical application.

The MOEA reports early results through ongoing technical development and industrial engagement. Examples include the development of cryogenic control chips capable of operating at minus 269 degrees Celsius. These developments have also led to international collaborations, such as work with U.S.-based SEEQC on quantum chips and joint efforts with Rigetti Computing on cryogenic modules. By establishing QITPO, the Ministry seeks to further link the research capabilities of the Industrial Technology Research Institute (ITRI) with the private sector, with the goal of supporting a quantum industry ecosystem that is more connected internationally and aligned with commercial needs.

Moving forward, QITPO will focus on three main areas: cooperation, localization, and connection. First, it will promote international collaboration, encouraging global quantum companies to establish R&D activities in Taiwan and engage more closely with the local supply chain. Second, it will strengthen industry support through the Ministry's existing programs, helping companies build capabilities in core quantum technologies. Third, it will create more opportunities for cross-sector exchange through forums and matchmaking events, bringing together academia, research institutions, and industry to  translate research into practical applications.

By serving as a coordination platform and a point of contact for international collaboration, QITPO will work with industry partners and associations to expand collaboration networks, improve resource sharing, and accelerate the commercialization of quantum technologies. Through these efforts, the Ministry aims to secure Taiwan's pivotal role in the global quantum industry ecosystem.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[The Bureau of Industrial Parks (BIP) of the Ministry of Economic Affairs (MOEA) held a groundbreaking for the third park of the Nanzih Technology Industrial Park (Nanzih Third Park), marking the official launch of the park's expansion project. The development has been awarded priority investment rights to ASE (Advanced Semiconductor Engineer Inc.), ASE Electronics Inc., and Hung Ching Development and Construction Co., Ltd., which will jointly invest NT$17.8 billion to build advanced packaging and testing facilities as well as logistics infrastructure. The project is expected to create approximately 1,470 job opportunities and generate an annual output value of about NT$4.63 billion per hectare. The project will not only alleviate the long-standing land shortage in the Nanzih park but also further strengthen the semiconductor industry cluster in southern Taiwan, injecting new momentum into the government's "Greater Southern New Silicon Valley" development corridor. 
BIP indicated that Nanzih Technology Industrial Park I and II have long maintained a high utilization rate, with land fully leased and strong demand from enterprises seeking expansion. In response to industrial development needs, BIP conducted a comprehensive review of available land resources and selected a site east of Chaoren Road in Nanzih District-formerly the Nanzih Factory under the Veterans Affairs Council-for the development of the third park. The site covers approximately 3.35 hectares and enjoys a strategic location near the Nanzih interchange of National Freeway No. 1, with only about a 10-minute drive to the existing park, offering excellent transportation access and strong industrial linkages. The overall development will be implemented in phases. The first phase, covering 2.45 hectares, received approval from the Executive Yuan for land allocation in February 2024, enabling the project to proceed swiftly.
BIP also emphasized during the ceremony that the Nanzih third park development is part of a broader strategy to expand industrial space in line with the government's "Greater Southern New Silicon Valley" initiative. By linking the semiconductor S Corridor in southern Taiwan, the government continues to respond to corporate investment demand while expanding the scale of industrial clusters. Several additional industrial park development projects are being promoted in parallel. The expansion of the Pingtung Technology Industrial Park is scheduled for completion by the end of 2025, with a total development area of 26.86 hectares. Investment promotion is currently underway, and the project is expected to attract approximately NT$5 billion in investment, generate NT$10 billion in annual output value, and create around 790 job opportunities. The Renwu Technology Industrial Park, covering approximately 7.35 hectares, is expected to provide about 4.07 hectares of industrial land and create around 1,900 job opportunities. It is currently undergoing environmental impact assessment and urban planning procedures. In addition, the first building of Phase II of the Kaohsiung Software Park-the Asia New Bay Smart Technology Building-is expected to be completed by the end of 2026, adding approximately 33,000 square meters of office space and generating an estimated annual output value of NT$1.7 billion.
With multiple industrial park projects advancing simultaneously, BIP is systematically strengthening industrial space in southern Taiwan and building a comprehensive environment for technology industry development, thereby advancing the goal of balanced regional development under the "Balanced Taiwan" policy.

      <description><![CDATA[Building on 27 years of diplomatic alliance, Taiwan and the Marshall Islands (RMI) are deepening their economic and trade partnership through the Economic Cooperation Agreement (ECA), which took effect in January 2025. This comprehensive framework-covering investment, customs, and intellectual property-will be administered by a newly established Joint Committee to institutionalize trade dialogue and ensure mutual long-term growth.

On April 8 this year, the preparatory meeting for the ministerial Joint Committee was held in the Marshall Islands capital of Majuro, co-chaired by Deputy Secretary Ywao Elanzo of the Ministry of Natural Resources and Commerce of the RMI and Deputy Director General Chi-Chuan Hu of the International Trade Administration (TITA) of the Ministry of Economic Affairs of Taiwan.

Both sides exchanged views of the Joint Committee's procedural framework and the itinerary for the inaugural ministerial meeting. Taiwan also proposed strategies for facilitating trade and investment, while both sides discussed cooperation on future technical projects to maximize the ECA's impact.

Following implementation of zero tariffs in early 2025, bilateral trade surged 74.43% to US$234 million. Driven by Taiwan's exports of fishing supplies and grains, as well as frozen fish exports from the RMI, this growth underscores the ECA's immediate success in expanding economic ties.

The Ministry of Economic Affairs of Taiwan reaffirmed the Marshall Islands as an important Pacific ally, noting that this meeting solidifies the foundation for implementing the ECA. Through institutionalized dialogues and integration of resources across ministries, Taiwan remains committed to fostering a mutually beneficial win-win partnership.]]></description>

      <title><![CDATA[No Domestic Power or Gas Shortages Since the Middle East Conflict; Natural Gas Dispatches Has Been Well Managed; Foreign Media Allegations of Energy Vulnerabilities are Unfounded]]></title>
      <link>https://www.moea.gov.tw/MNS/english/news/News.aspx?kind=6&amp;menu_id=176&amp;news_id=122394</link>
      <description><![CDATA[In response to foreign media reports alleging that Taiwan is highly dependent on energy imports, maintains low LNG inventories, and that maritime disruptions could impact power supply and disrupt civil and economic operations, the Ministry of Economic Affairs (MOEA) issued a stern clarification today (14th). In the 46 days since the outbreak of the Middle East conflict on February 28, the government has managed dispatches effectively, and there have been no instances of domestic power or natural gas shortages. The MOEA obtained and assessed the relevant information immediately and activated the Energy Emergency Task Force on March 2. The Task Force conducts daily inventories of domestic oil, gas, and coal reserves, all of which currently remain above legally mandated safety levels. Not only is the domestic energy supply fully secure, but Taiwan's LNG inventory regulations, supply dispatching, and crisis response capabilities are also superior to those of other nations. The "severe shortage crisis" described by the media is entirely unfounded, and the MOEA urges the public and the industrial sector to remain assured. 
 
The MOEA specifically noted that Taiwan currently mandates a minimum of 11 days of natural gas safety stock, a requirement that will be elevated to at least 14 days starting in 2027. Compared to neighboring Asian countries-where Japan currently has no natural gas safety stock regulations and South Korea requires only 9 days-Taiwan's regulatory standards are significantly superior, reflecting more rigorous and solid preparedness. Furthermore, to mitigate risks associated with potential blockages in the Strait of Hormuz, CPC Corporation, CPC, Taiwan has long initiated a three-phase contingency framework: "Preemptive Delivery," "Asian Cargo Swaps," and "Spot Market Procurement." Currently, all gas supplies for April and May have been fully secured and dispatched; June's supply is nearing completion, and sourcing arrangements for July and beyond have already commenced, ensuring uninterrupted domestic gas supply. 
 
The MOEA further pointed out that, according to the International Energy Agency's review of countries' energy response policies to the Middle East conflict, many countries globally have implemented mandatory gas restrictions and energy reduction strategies. In contrast, owing to preemptive measures and proper current dispatch management, Taiwan has ensured the normal operation of civilian life and the economy, demonstrating that our nation's energy resilience is relatively superior to that of other countries. 
 
Regarding the overall power supply, the MOEA emphasized that CPC, Taiwan and Taipower maintain a tight early-warning mechanism, and the blackout risks suggested in the media will not occur. All of Taipower's generating units are currently operating according to scheduled protocols, and concrete contingency plans have been prepared to ensure stable electricity supply for both national civilian operations and industries under various extreme scenarios.

      <description><![CDATA[Hosted by the Ministry of Economic Affairs (MOEA), the 4th "2026 Taiwan International Geothermal Conference" (2026 TIGC) opened on March 26. In his opening remarks, Vice Minister of Economic Affairs Chien-hsin Lai emphasized that the MOEA will be committed to developing geothermal energy with the advantages of being a local resource and providing a "stable supply." He also invited international experts to focus their discussions and propose solutions for the specific challenges faced by Taiwan's geothermal generation, aiming to develop Taiwan's geothermal energy and strengthen national energy resilience.

Vice Minister Lai stated that conflicts in the Middle East have affected the stability of energy supplies, and CPC Corporation has long implemented a diversified supply strategy for oil and natural gas. Amidst ongoing global changes, the government remains on top of the situation and is handling it with appropriate measures. Every year, the Energy Administration of the MOEA forecasts electricity demand over the next decade, and the power development progress planned by Taipower shows that supply exceeds future demand. The Administration also continues to strengthen power stability and resilience, moving toward the national vision of carbon reduction. Since coming into office, President Lai has declared the "Second Energy Transition," actively promoting various renewable energy policies to provide sustainable green energy and achieve Taiwan's 2050 net-zero emissions goal. Especially as Taiwan is a vital link in the global AI supply chain, geothermal energy plays a key role in green energy supply.

The MOEA stated that Taiwan possesses massive potential and advantages for geothermal development. To accelerate promotion, the MOEA has launched numerous measures ranging from early-stage exploration to subsequent development to achieve de-risking while balancing environmental protection. These include providing demonstration incentive grants and conducting the central government geothermal investment selection process later this year.

The Energy Administration explained that this "2026 Taiwan International Geothermal Conference" hosted by the MOEA has invited over 700 domestic and international experts and industry leaders from more than 10 countries, including the United States, New Zealand, Japan, Canada, Iceland, Denmark, and Italy, making it the largest-scale event in recent years. By providing an international exchange platform to share geothermal technology and practical experience, it is hoped that experts from around the world will take this opportunity to exchange ideas and provide valuable suggestions to promote Taiwan's geothermal development.

The core of this conference focuses on "Next-Generation Geothermal Technologies", including international experience sharing on Enhanced Geothermal Systems (EGS), Advanced Geothermal Systems (AGS) and Supercritical Geothermal Systems (SGS). Experts from various countries, the state-owned CPC Corporation, and the Geological Survey and Mining Management Agency (GSMMA) have been invited to engage in in-depth dialogues on geothermal exploration and drilling decisions under Taiwan's specific geological environment. The conference also highlights Taiwan's introduction of more efficient exploration techniques and high-temperature resistant sensing technologies to reduce development risks and shorten development timelines.

The Energy Administration mentioned that a "Geothermal Technology and Solutions Exhibition" is being held concurrently at the venue, which has invited leading geothermal developers, engineering firms, and precision drilling equipment manufacturers from home and abroad, and offers a technical matchmaking platform for domestic and international vendors.

The Energy Administration also emphasized that the success of geothermal development depends not only on technological breakthroughs but also often on mutual prosperity with local communities. Therefore, this conference has specially invited the Council of Indigenous Peoples to give a keynote presentation on "The Role of Indigenous Peoples and Collaborative Visions in Advancing Geothermal Development within the Energy Transition", emphasizing the importance of establishing a sound benefit-sharing mechanism and giving concrete suggestions.

On the second day of the conference (the 27th), professional workshops will be held on three major themes: "Elements of Drilling Team", "Geothermal Power Plant Engineering Planning" and "Geothermal Power Plant Operations." The workshops welcome participants from all sectors and hopes to inspire developers for breakthroughs in geothermal generation.

      <title><![CDATA[MOEA Holds Zonal Development Selection Briefing, Aims to Complete Allocation by Year-End]]></title>
      <link>https://www.moea.gov.tw/MNS/english/news/News.aspx?kind=6&amp;menu_id=176&amp;news_id=122294</link>
      <description><![CDATA[The Ministry of Economic Affairs (MOEA) held another briefing today (February 26) on the draft selection mechanism for the Phase 3 Zonal Development of Offshore Wind Power, presenting the revised framework to stakeholders. The draft outlines the review focus and scoring principles for various performance capability criteria.

Under the revised proposal, the incentive mechanism will consolidate three elements, including early completion and grid connection, local industrial and economic benefits, and energy resilience. Projects are eligible to receive up to five years of extended power sales period as an incentive. In addition, the purchase price for surplus green electricity will be set at NTD 2.29 per kWh, based on Taipower's average avoided cost.

The current round also introduces a capacity expansion mechanism, allowing selected wind farms to expand their allocated capacity by up to 50% of the originally awarded capacity, depending on their evaluation ranking.

The MOEA stated that the revised draft incorporates feedback received during the previous briefing. The objective is to further clarify the content of the draft selection mechanism so that developers can better evaluate the framework and prepare for the selection process. Stakeholders are invited to submit written comments to the Ministry by March 5, and the MOEA aims to formally announce the mechanism in the first quarter of 2026.

For the Round 3 of Zonal Development selection, developers will be evaluated based on their performance capabilities. The scoring criteria include developer track record (35 points), financial capability (30 points), and project execution capability (35 points). Within the project execution capability category, the assessment covers project implementation readiness (15 points), ESG planning (15 points), including local industrial and economic benefits, environmental sustainability, and corporate social responsibility, and energy resilience (5 points). The Energy Administration (EA) under the MOEA emphasized that developers must provide comprehensive explanations and planning regarding their track record, financial capability, and project execution capability, stressing that participation in the selection process goes beyond a purely paper-based evaluation.

The EA stated that, in addition to assessing developers' domestic and international track records, the evaluation criteria will also cover developers' past contract performance records. Scoring will consider the progress made in obtaining key approvals and documentation, such as the preparatory permit for the electricity enterprise establishment and underwater cultural heritage survey documents for the wind farm project.

Moreover, local industrial and economic benefits (10 points) and energy resilience (5 points) will be evaluated based on the wind farm capacity and the corresponding investment amounts. Taking a 500 MW wind farm as an example, a project may receive 5 points under the local industrial and economic benefits category if the committed amount reaches NTD 20 billion, and the full 10 points if it reaches NTD 30 billion. For the energy resilience category, 2 points may be awarded if the committed amount reaches NTD 1.6 billion, and the full 5 points if it reaches NTD 2.5 billion.

Additional criteria include environmental sustainability (3 points) and corporate social responsibility (2 points), which will be evaluated based on principles such as the adoption of recyclable blades, compliance with fisheries liaison guidelines, and the planning of social responsibility measures by developers and their supply chains. In essence, the mechanism emphasizes quality over quantity and aims to encourage capable teams with strong execution capabilities.

The EA further noted that, under the newly introduced incentive mechanism in this round, the items of early completion and grid connection, local industrial and economic benefits, and energy resilience will be combined for calculation. Wind farm projects may receive up to five years of extended power sales period as an incentive.

Another newly introduced capacity expansion mechanism will grant selected wind farms eligibility to expand their capacity based on their evaluation ranking. The expanded capacity may reach up to 50% of the originally allocated capacity, and such expansion must be completed and connected to the grid by the end of 2031.

Lastly, the EA stated that the total capacity of 3.6 GW allocated in this round will, in principle, be distributed based on existing available sea areas. The MOEA also expressed appreciation for the constructive suggestions provided by stakeholders regarding offshore wind development policies and the selection mechanism. Taking these inputs into account, the MOEA has refined and optimized the proposed mechanism.

The selection mechanism is expected to be formally announced in the first quarter of 2026, with the goal of completing the capacity allocation process by the end of 2026. Through stable and predictable policy planning, the government aims to create a favorable environment for green power development, attract continued international investment in Taiwan, and ensure the timely achievement of renewable energy policy targets.

      <description><![CDATA[The Bureau of Industrial Parks (BIP) of the Ministry of Economic Affairs (MOEA) held a press conference on March 2, 2026, and announced the concrete achievement of the policy "One Park, One School," which is BIP's industry-academic co-create engine promotion. Since 2023, BIP has introduced the policy, and more than 30 universities and 500 experts around Taiwan have successfully connected to assist manufacturers in parks for upgrading and transformation. More than 5,400 manufacturers, covering 72 of the BIP's parks, have gained consulting and successfully applied for 117 subsidy programs, which have received subsidy funds of NT$265 million from the Government, boosting investment of NT$1,166 million and approximately NT$2 billion output value. It had presented the powerful efficiency of industry-academic collaboration, injecting the practical momentum for industrial upgrading.
The BIP pointed out that in addition to assisting enterprises in enhancing technical and operational efficiency, the industry-academic co-creation policy, "One Park, One School," also responds to the challenges caused by the U.S.-tariff policy. Addressing the situation about parts of traditional industries, facing pressures of output market and cost rising situation, BIP assisted in introducing production optimization, production high value-added, and market transformation, enhancing smart manufacturing abilities at the same time, to decrease the impacts of tariff, strengthen international competitive capability, and accelerate industrial upgrading transformation. 
BIP indicated that the industrial parks under its jurisdiction are important hubs for Taiwan's manufacturing industries and SMEs. More than 13,000 enterprises have established a presence in parks, with an annual output value exceeding NT$10 trillion, and provide 730,000 job opportunities. Facing the pressure of talent shortages, AI digital transformation, and R&D momentum enhancement, BIP pioneered a measure, "One Park, One School," an industry-academia co-creation engineer, to assist manufacturers in solving the increasing operating pressure. By leveraging the resources of schools and the corporation's expertise, providing localized services such as emerging technical support and talent matchmaking for enterprises in parks enhances overall operational resilience.
The press conference presented several remarkable collaboration cases, demonstrating the significant effects of industry-academia partnerships. BenQ Dialysis, located in Guishan Industrial Park, has collaborated with Lunghwa University of Science and Technology to introduce an AI identification system and automatic instant testing, which successfully enhanced anomaly detection during productive processing of dialyzers and significantly optimized quality stability. Thunder Tiger Corp. in Taichung Industrial Park cooperated with National Formosa University to jointly set up an UAV R&D Center. They independently researched and manufactured the TF500 Fixed-Wing UAV, which significantly extended the battery life and enhanced the efficiency of the production line. It could be used in long-distance military detecting missions, assisting in creating momentum for national defense autonomy.
In addition, SUMEEKO in the southern parks, Da-Fa Industrial Park, cooperated with ChengShiu University to introduce CAE simulation technology and a deep learning image detection system. It efficiently establishes key productive processes for fasteners and intelligent management, which can decrease production costs while enhancing mold design efficiency, and successfully promotes independent industry-academia projects, showing the upgrading potential in local industrial transformation.
The industry-academia co-create engine policy, "One Park, One School," has shown a concrete effect on talent trainees. Minghsin University of Science and Technology has matched 297 students to enterprises in the Hsinchu Industrial Park, such as Wistron and Powertech Technology Inc., for internships, which implement the educational concept "Learning by Doing." Mingshin has matched more than 2,400 students, conducted internships, and held more than 1,900 hours of courses on workplace skills. Meanwhile, Minghsin has utilized subsidy resources from the Ministry of Education and the Ministry of Labor to promote 85 talent cultivation projects, fulfilling the talent shortages in the semiconductor industry. 
The BIP emphasized that as the trends of AI and Net-Zero continue to be promoted, there will be both greater challenges and opportunities for industries in the parks. The "One Park, One School" model, which integrates local higher education resources with government support, effectively enhances technological capabilities and overall competitiveness. Moving forward, BIP will continue to expand the scale of this initiative, building a sustainable and long-term platform for industry-academia collaboration and helping Taiwan's industrial parks secure a strategic advantage amid the restructuring of global supply chains.

      <title><![CDATA[Taipower collaborates with NMNS on special ecological exhibit The power sector's ten star species gather for a grand exhibition-now open!]]></title>
      <link>https://www.moea.gov.tw/MNS/english/news/News.aspx?kind=6&amp;menu_id=176&amp;news_id=122447</link>
      <description><![CDATA[March 31, 2026-Taipower strives to promote the coexistence of power facilities and ecology. Today, the Company joined hands in a cross-sector collaboration with the National Museum of Natural Science (NMNS) to launch the Nature in Harmony: Power and Ecology Coexisting special exhibition. This exhibition features ten of the world's critically endangered species, which can be found at nine power plants throughout Taiwan-including the Yuchi music frog and the black-faced spoonbill. The exhibition also spotlights Taipower's ecological conservation initiatives: As a result of Taipower's compliance with international OECM initiatives, the Dajia River and Wanta Power Plants have become Taiwan's first terrestrial sites to receive the Conservation Coexistence Area certification of the Forestry and Nature Conservation Agency (FANCA), Ministry of Agriculture. A Taipower representative explained that the exhibition will run from today through May 3, and invited everyone to witness the results of Taipower personnel's many years of devotion to sustainable actions for ecological conservation.

The Nature in Harmony: Power and Ecology Coexisting special exhibition celebrated its grand opening today at the NMNS. Distinguished guests from all walks of life, including Taipower President Wang Yao-Ting, NMNS Director Huang Wen-Shan, renowned ecological writer Liu Ke-Hsiang, and representatives from FANCA and the Taiwan Biodiversity Research Institute, came together for the opening of the exhibition. Additionally, the film Taipower 80: Ecological Coexistence by internationally acclaimed award-winning director Hsu Hung-Lung was screened to the public for the first time during this special exhibition. The film uses a camera lens to glimpse the stories of Taipower's ecological conservation efforts, spanning land, sea, and air.

A Taipower representative explained that to supply every region of Taiwan with stable electricity, power plants and other electrical structures must frequently coexist with natural environments such as mountains and waters. To simultaneously ensure a stable power supply and protect biodiversity, Taipower has long invested in environmental monitoring and ecological surveys in the regions surrounding its power facilities, and the Company plans conservation measures aligned with local circumstances, striving to integrate its power plants into mountain forests, wetlands, and oceans by transforming them into ecological habitats for local species. The current collaboration between Taipower and the NMNS presents Taipower's stories and the results of its investment in ecological preservation in an exhibition format. It also shows the public that Taipower is more than just an electricity supplier, it is also a conservationist of environmental ecology.

An NMNS representative noted that this joint exhibition with Taipower exemplifies a collaborative model benefitting research organizations, corporations, and environmental ecology. NMNS researchers have long surveyed and monitored the habitats surrounding power plants, assisting Taipower in adopting more appropriate ecological conservation strategies while accumulating important data on Taiwan's biodiversity. This special exhibition transforms the scientific results and conservation actions into visibly displayable content. The NMNS hopes that Taipower will inspire other domestic companies to jointly invest in ecological conservation, contributing to the protection of Taiwan's diverse and precious natural environment.

This special exhibition brings together ten precious species from nine power plants throughout Taiwan. They include Taiwan's native Yuchi music frog, which lives in a habitat painstaking constructed at the Mingtan Power Plant; the black-faced spoonbill, which can be spotted in the Yongan Wetlands surrounding the Hsinta Power Plant; a unique species of water chestnut that was successfully rehabilitated at Penghu's Chienshan Power Plant; the Level III endangered Wushe blood-spotted long-horned beetle that perches at Wanta Power Plant; and many more. The exhibition not only introduces the characteristics and behavioral traits of each species; physical specimens and virtual reality models have also been transported to the exhibition hall, enabling the public to observe these rare and precious species up close. 

The exhibition has also collected heartwarming stories of Taipower personnel's efforts to protect the environment and ecology. For example, during the Man'an Dam planning phase of the Dajia River Power Plant, Taipower incorporated a fish ladder into the dam structure. The ladder was optimized in 2016, reducing the drop in elevation between the ladder mouth and the riverbed to allow fish with smaller bodies or shorter jumping ranges to successfully swim upstream and find their way home. Meanwhile, the Wanta Power Plant utilized cherry blossom tree transplantation and habitat management measures to give the blood-spotted long-horned beetle a stable perch within the area, and even successfully rehabilitated native Taiwan soybean species that had been extinct for half a century. Actions such as these also enabled the Dajia River and Wanta Power Plant to be honored as Taiwan's first batch of certified terrestrial Conservation Coexistence Areas, which is the ultimate proof of coexistence between electrical sites and environmental ecology.

The Nature in Harmony: Power and Ecology Coexisting special exhibition opens today in Special Exhibition Hall 3 at the NMNS and runs through May 3 (museum hours: 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. daily; closed on Mondays). By participating in games and collecting all of the species stamps, you can receive a lovely souvenir. On weekends, there is also a Waterbird Hotel storytelling activity. Everyone is invited to visit and feel the ecological trajectory of Taipower sites' mingling with the natural environment.

      <description><![CDATA[March 27, 2026-Taipower officially submitted its plan to resume operation of the No. 3 Nuclear Plant to the Nuclear Safety Commission (NSC) for review today. Taipower emphasized that it has handled all relevant procedures for this plan in accordance with law. Even if the plan is approved by the NSC, Taipower will not be able to immediately resume energy generation, but must subsequently complete a self-implemented safety check, pass the NSC's inspection, and have the operating license reissued. After that, it can finally commence energy generation.

A Taipower representative explained that the plan to resume operation of the No. 3 Nuclear Plant has been approved by the Ministry of Economic Affairs for submission to the NSC. Today, pursuant to Article 16-1 of the Guidelines for the Application and Approval of Operating Licenses for Nuclear Reactor Facilities, Taipower officially submitted the plan to the NSC for review. The plan includes five major sections covering the unit's current status and project schedule, labor allocation and training, engineering items and periodic safeguards for the facility's renewed operations, operating period specification plans, and the quality inspection and audit plan.

Taipower emphasized that the plan to renew operations focuses on preparatory work for restarting operations following the expiration of the nuclear power plant operating license. Subsequently, the Company will continue to conduct self- implemented safety checks as needed. The self-implemented safety checks are expected to take 18-24 months, and after completion, the Company must also submit the self-implemented safety check report to the NSC for review; the time required for this review will be determined by the NSC. After passing the review, receiving approval, and having the operating permit reissued, Taipower will finally have all of the prerequisites to resume operations. Taipower will soon begin the self-implemented safety check and will continue to uphold the principal of nuclear safety as a top priority, operating strictly in accordance with law.

      <description><![CDATA[The Awards Ceremony of the 26th IBDC was held on March 25 by the Ministry of Economic Affairs. In this edition, IBDC has invited 123 entries from 6 countries. Taiwanese designer Yen-Chung, Cho ultimately secured the Gold Medal with the "Mobile ecological data station-GreenTrail Hub", a design that integrates big data with green energy. Having been deeply rooted for 30 years, the IBDC is not only a design competition but also a critical bridge for the global innovation and industrial application of Taiwan's bicycle industry. By converging global creativity, it assists the industry in introducing key technologies and green materials, solidifying Taiwan's leading position as a global R&D center for high-end bicycles.

In his opening remarks, Ming-Chi, Chuang, Chief Secretary of the Ministry of Economic Affairs (MOEA), stated that over the past 30 years, the International Bicycle Design Competition (IBDC) has accumulated more than 15,000 entries from 87 countries, resulting in a total of over 60 creative products successfully launched on the market. Under the development trends of electrification, intelligence, and AI integration, the bicycle is no longer a mere means of transportation; it is now closely integrated with individual lifestyle and health while echoing the pulse of urban development. Furthermore, it serves as a vital tool as we march toward the Global 2050 Net-Zero goal. 

Among this year's 17 winning entries, we can see they are all tightly linked to the competition theme. Taking the Gold Medal entry as an example, the designer attempted to transform the bicycle into "urban neurons," collecting various environmental data through sensory devices. This effectively allows direct participation in overall urban development, creating its own sustainable value.

The winning works of the 26th IBDC fully demonstrate the three major directions for the future development of the bicycle: a greater emphasis on riding safety, a closer alignment with daily needs, and the implementation of sustainability concepts.

-Gold Award:Mobile ecological data station-GreenTrail Hub: Using shared bicycles as a starting point, the design ingeniously combines smart big data with sustainability concepts, demonstrating the innovative thinking of "Green Cycling for Urban Sustainability," which earned high praise from the jury.
-Silver Award:ORBI-smart cycling companion: Focusing on riding scenarios for parents and children, the design combines task-based elements with safety features to encourage children to develop habits of daily cycling and outdoor exploration through interaction.
-Bronze Award:Micromobility x Shopping: Starting from daily shopping needs, the design proposes a more convenient and labor-saving short-distance mobility concept, precisely addressing the practical pain points of consumers in their daily lives.

It is hoped that through the IBDC, more innovative concepts will be linked with Taiwan's industrial chain in the future, driving product upgrades and startup development. The Ministry of Economic Affairs (MOEA) will continue to support industrial innovation and transformation, strengthening the key technology layout for high-end bicycles and electric-assist bicycles (E-bikes). Furthermore, it will vigorously promote the application of recycled materials and environmentally friendly manufacturing processes to comprehensively enhance the sustainable competitiveness of Taiwan's bicycle industry and solidify its leading position in the global market.

      <title><![CDATA[MOEA Introduces Industrial Energy Storage Subsidies, Supported by Testing and Certification to Enhance Safety]]></title>
      <link>https://www.moea.gov.tw/MNS/english/news/News.aspx?kind=6&amp;menu_id=176&amp;news_id=122218</link>
      <description><![CDATA[The Ministry of Economic Affairs (MOEA) today (March 18) announced a new measure to accelerate the adoption of energy storage systems by industrial users while ensuring installation and operational safety. Under the initiative, the Energy Administration (EA) will provide subsidies for behind-the-meter energy storage systems, with eligible businesses able to receive NT$5 million per MWh. To complement the subsidy program, the Bureau of Standards, Metrology and Inspection (BSMI) ensures safety and quality of these installed systems through standards, testing, and certification programs, supported by a localized national testing laboratory for energy storage systems.

The EA stated that the  "Directions of Subsidies for the Installation of Battery Energy Storage System at Industrial Sites by Ministry of Economic Affairs"  announced by the MOEA encourages electricity users in industrial parks, science parks, and other industrial facilities to install energy storage systems, with a view to strengthening grid resilience and supporting the development of Taiwan's battery cell industry. 

To further stabilize the power grid and enhance domestic supply chain development, the subsidy program primarily targets energy storage equipment using locally manufactured lithium-based battery cells. The MOEA stated that the measure is intended to help industrial users shift from relying solely on grid electricity to incorporating stored backup energy into their power management strategies.

Alongside the subsidy program, the BSMI has put in place a comprehensive safety regime for energy storage systems in line with international developments. The framework now extends beyond battery-level requirements to cover system-level integration. By 2025, Taiwan had published a total of 24 national standards (CNS) covering batteries, modules and complete energy storage systems, which are harmonized with relevant international standards. BSMI said it will continue tracking international regulatory and technological developments and update the standards as needed to further strengthen safety. 

On the testing side, to address previous constraints in domestic testing capacity, the National Center for Energy Storage System Technology (NEST) will begin providing testing services in 2026. With a testing capacity of up to 360 kWh, the center will be the only laboratory in Taiwan capable of conducting combustion tests for energy storage systems. The localized testing facility is expected to reduce testing costs by more than 50 percent compared with overseas testing, while also cutting sample delivery time and related expenses. Through international cooperation, test reports issued by NEST will also be accepted via international recognition arrangements. 

The MOEA emphasized that it will continue to integrate financial incentives with standards, testing and certification mechanisms to promote industrial upgrading and ensure that Taiwan's energy transition proceeds in a safe and reliable manner.

      <link>https://www.moea.gov.tw/MNS/english/news/News.aspx?kind=6&amp;menu_id=176&amp;news_id=122192</link>
      <description><![CDATA[Minister of Economic Affairs Kung Ming-Hsin chaired a meeting on March 23 regarding "Impacts of the Middle East Conflict on Domestic Petrochemical Raw Materials and Downstream Products." The meeting convened relevant agencies, including the Administration for Industrial Development, the Energy Administration, the Department of Commerce, and the CPC Corporation, to discuss countermeasures. Minister Kung noted that recent instability in the Middle East has raised concerns among Taiwan's industries regarding the supply and price volatility of helium - essential for semiconductor manufacturing - as well as petrochemical raw materials and downstream products. Consequently, the Ministry of Economic Affairs (MOEA) has launched monitoring and response mechanisms for supplies of essential products. At this stage, the core objectives are to "prioritize the stabilization of domestic supplies and mitigate impacts on industries." The Minister urged the public and businesses to remain confident.

Regarding helium supplies, imports previously relied heavily on Qatar as the source due to price factors. Following confirmation with Taiwan's three major gas suppliers, alternative imports from the United States are currently available, thus ensuring a sufficient supply overall. Furthermore, drawing on the experience of the helium shortage in 2021, major domestic semiconductor manufacturers had already established recycling systems, which has helped to enhance supply resilience. 

Regarding petrochemical raw materials (e.g., methanol, polyethylene (PE), and polypropylene (PP)) that are primarily imported from the Middle East, the MOEA is actively assisting industries in expanding alternative sources of imports to diversify risks. Additionally, the MOEA will conduct an inventory of the surplus stocks of domestic manufacturers and coordinate inter-enterprise assistance as needed. As for downstream consumer plastic products, the current inventory of retail channels is sufficient and supplies remain normal.

For certain plastic packaging manufacturers (such as those producing plastic bags, films, and containers) that had previously reduced production due to market factors, the MOEA has confirmed that their production capacity is intact and will assist in resuming production at any time based on market demand to ensure supply chain stability for consumers. 

The MOEA is prioritizing the basic operations of domestic supply chains by coordinating across agencies, cooperating with industries, and imposing real-time response measures to ensure stable supplies and reasonable pricing of key raw materials. The following measures will continue to be implemented to mitigate impacts on the petrochemical and downstream industries: 
1. Coordinating with Major Petrochemical Plants to Prioritize Domestic Demand: This coordination is to prioritize the domestic market and strive to meet the needs of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and downstream consumer demand, thereby reducing the impact of international supply fluctuations on domestic supply chains. 
2. Urging Enterprises to Reasonably Reflect Costs: For products manufactured using existing contract prices or existing raw material inventories, enterprises are urged to supply markets at reasonable prices and refrain from raising prices due to speculations in order to maintain the stability of domestic prices. 
3. Strictly Preventing Malicious Hoarding and Price Gouging: Upstream manufacturers are urged to supervise their downstream wholesalers to ensure there are no abnormal procurements, hoarding, or shipping delays. The MOEA calls on enterprises to practice rational procurements to maintain market order and stabilize consumer prices. 
4. Tracking the Situation and Coordinating Supplies of Materials: The MOEA will continue to maintain close contact with industry stakeholders. Manufacturers who face shortages despite previously having stable sources of petrochemical raw materials can seek assistance through the MOEA's dedicated matchmaking hotline (02-2701-1669, ext.105~107).

      <description><![CDATA[March 13, 2026-Taipower has been actively promoting university microgrid demonstration projects, aiming to achieve innovations in energy technology, expand the practical application of microgrids, and cultivate talent. Today, Taipower signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with National Central University (NCU), National Changhua University of Education (NCUE), and National Sun Yat-sen University (NSYSU), with installation of the university microgrid systems slated for 2027. A Taipower representative expressed that this project will leverage the schools' research capacity and Taipower's practical experience in electrical systems to promote micro grid technology demonstrations and applications. Additionally, both sides will comprehensively plan energy and sustainability curricula to jointly cultivate professional talent for the power industry.

On March 13, Taipower held an MOU signing ceremony at Taipower Building for the 2026 University Energy Conservation and Electrical Resilience-Microgrid Promotion Demonstration Plan. Taipower Chairman Tseng Wen-Sheng, NCU President Hsiau Shu-San, NCUE Director of General Affairs Liu Chin-Chia, and NSYSU Senior Vice President Kuo Chih-Wen were on site to jointly sign the agreement.

A Taipower representative indicated that Taiwan has been rapidly developing green energy and distributed energy resources in response to the global push for net-zero emissions. Taipower continuously invests in energy system upgrades. In recent years, in addition to accelerating the replacement of outdated equipment and integrating smart facilities, the Company has been building a more robust energy grid through the promotion of energy storage and microgrid projects.

Microgrids are small-scale grid systems with integrated electricity generation, storage, and management. They can operate independently or be linked to the Taipower grid, assisting with diverse applications such as energy conservation, regional independent energy supply, and disaster proofing. When campuses establish microgrid systems, it is equivalent to adding a self-sufficient power node. At times of need, e.g., during typhoons and other emergency situations, the system can autonomously power the campus, or it can instantly provide aid by contributing self-generated electricity to the Taipower grid.

Taipower is actively promoting university microgrid demonstration projects in hopes of increasing expertise, technology, and talent cultivation for microgrid applications. All Taiwanese institutes of higher education with Electrical Engineering departments are invited to participate. Following a comprehensive assessment of site plans, microgrid management and operation plans, and energy saving results plans by a joint review committee comprising professional units from Taipower; the Public Construction Commission, Executive Yuan; the Ministry of Education; the Energy Administration, Ministry of Economic Affairs; and relevant domestic research institutions, Taipower is now building on its 2024 collaboration with National Taiwan University of Science and Technology, National Chung Hsing University, and National Chung Cheng University by collaborating with NCU, NCUE, and NYSYU to jointly promote the construction of campus microgrids.

The NCU project will construct a "clustered" microgrid framework, creating several small-scale campus microgrids that can operate independently or mutually support each other, further elevating power resilience. The NCUE project will install a campus microgrid system with multiple microgrids along the same powerline, aiming to validate the configuration's effectiveness and ensure a flexible connection with the grid. The NSYSU project will install a microgrid that transforms the Building of International Research into a disaster shelter that can autonomously supply electricity for over 48 hours. Additionally, because this campus is located at the end of the feeder line, data on its grid operations will serve as an important reference when designing electrical systems for remote islands and mountainous regions.

In the short term, the university microgrid demonstration project will treat six universities, including NCU, NCUE, and NSYSU, as testing grounds for power source technology verification and innovation. In addition to providing opportunities for teachers and students to directly participate in the research and practical application of power technology, the project will facilitate courses related to energy and environmental knowledge, microgrid energy management technology, and the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) to cultivate professional talents in the electric power field, promote the long-term development of Taiwan's power systems, and advance distributed energy technology.

      <description><![CDATA[Taiwan Sugar Corporation (TSC) held the "TSC 80th Anniversary Taiwan-UK Resonance Exchange Celebration" at the Suantou Sugar Factory Cultural Park at 10:00 AM on March 7. The ceremony was presided over by TSC Chairman Wu Ming-chang. Distinguished guests, including Ms. Anne Wright, Chairman of the Welshpool & Llanfair Light Railway (W&LLR) from the UK, were invited to join the festivities. Together, they witnessed the launch of the "Taiwan-UK Friendship Train," marking a new chapter in the cultural exchange of sugar railways between the two nations. Through this event, TSC aims to deepen international railway cooperation and showcase Taiwan's profound sugar industry history and cultural heritage to the world.

In his opening remarks, TSC Chairman Wu Ming-chang noted that the friendship between TSC and W&LLR has spanned over two decades, characterized by ongoing collaboration in railway preservation, cultural exhibitions, and tourism promotion. Their partnership began in 2005 when W&LLR acquired the TSC No. 175 locomotive for dynamic preservation in the UK. In 2018, the British steam locomotive "Dougal" was invited to Taiwan for exhibition, leading to the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) that established a sister railway relationship. Today, as both parties celebrate TSC's 80th anniversary, this transnational cooperation has yielded fruitful results. It has successfully transformed sugar railways from mere transportation tools into a vital link connecting sugar industry history, culture, and international friendship.

TSC noted that one of the two major highlights of the event was the "Unveiling and Launch Ceremony of the Taiwan-UK Friendship Train." The ceremony commenced with TSC Chairman Wu and W&LLR Chairman Anne Wright jointly unveiling the plaque. Following the unveiling, the No. 252 inspection railcar, which was meticulously restored by TSC's team of technicians, slowly made its entrance. Accompanied by a Diema locomotive, the two trains sounded their whistles in unison and glided along the Suantou Sugar Factory tracks. The spectacle drew eager crowds to capture the moment, marking the peak of the day's festivities. This ceremony not only symbolizes the revival of sugar railway history and cultural heritage but also demonstrates TSC's outstanding achievements in the restoration, technical preservation, and revitalization of sugar railway cultural assets.

Another highlight of the event was the "Blue Vintage Dining Car Special Exhibition." The interior of the carriage was curated around the history of the Taiwan-UK sister railway exchange, featuring a photography exhibition and distinctive railway-themed decorations from both nations. A special Taiwan-UK themed afternoon tea was also arranged, allowing guests to experience the cultural charm of both regions through both sight and taste, while promoting tourism for the TSC Sugar Railway Parks. Following the ceremony, the guests toured the park to admire its historic sugar industry buildings, the extensive narrow-gauge railway system, and various unique locomotive models, bringing this successful railway exchange to a perfect conclusion.

TSC added that this event not only deepened the sister railway bond between TSC and the UK's W&LLR but also strengthened the exchange of expertise and experience in railway cultural preservation. Looking ahead, TSC will continue to integrate its historical assets with tourism experiences and international cooperation. The goal is to promote sugar railway culture on the global stage while driving the growth of park tourism and regional development.

      <description><![CDATA[A cup of coffee does more than foster friendship; it serves as a beacon of hope, lighting up the future for students in remote areas across the ocean. Taiwan Sugar Corporation (TSC) stated on March 6 that to support the government's efforts in deepening ties with diplomatic allies, the company has been sourcing coffee beans at fair prices from Guatemala since 2023. This initiative led to the domestic launch of "High Lands Small Farms (Antigua) Coffee." TSC's coffee trade program not only improves the livelihoods of local smallholders but also reinvests a portion of the proceeds into constructing classrooms. This allows Taiwanese consumers to enjoy specialty coffee while simultaneously supporting rural education in allied nations, collectively building a boundless future for both farmers and students.

TSC explained that by importing Guatemalan smallholder coffee, the company not only bolsters the Guatemalan economy but also brings about tangible and positive changes to local rural education. In collaboration with the international organization IMPACT HUB and the local NGO Guatemala Prospera, TSC has spearheaded a coffee marketing and educational feedback initiative. To date, the project has successfully completed the construction of two rural classrooms. While the first classroom was inaugurated in 2024, the newly completed second facility at the "Official Rural Coeducational School" (located in the El Rosario community, Cienaga Grande village, Chimaltenango Department) officially opened its doors on March 4, 2026, at 10:00 AM local time (midnight March 5, Taiwan time). This new facility provides a modern and comfortable learning environment for middle school students aged 12 to 15.

TSC noted that these classrooms represent more than just infrastructure they are a beacon of hope. The company hopes that through these educational opportunities, local students will be empowered to see a broader world and ultimately transform the future of both themselves and their communities.

TSC points out that the Guatemalan High Lands Small Farms Coffee is a sustainable brew that bridges the gap between consumers, the origin of production, and hope. Sourced from premium Arabica beans grown at altitudes above 1,500 meters in Guatemala's renowned Antigua region, the coffee is hand-picked, wet-processed, and roasted to perfection. It boasts a rich body with a balanced acidity, featuring distinct notes of caramel, chocolate, and subtle fruit aromas. Upholding the core values of "Specialty Quality, Public Good, and Affordability," TSC has distributed the coffee across major retail channels in Taiwan and onboard Taiwan High Speed Rail (THSR) carriages. This initiative empowers citizens to transform their daily coffee ritual into a tangible force for supporting smallholders and rural education.

TSC emphasizes that coffee is more than just a daily beverage; it is a bridge that connects international friendships. Furthermore, coffee trade is not merely an industrial exchange, but a solemn promise of cross-border guardianship. Looking ahead, TSC will continue to integrate corporate resources with social efforts to promote international cooperation programs that balance industrial growth with philanthropic value. By extending Taiwan's goodwill across the sea, TSC aims to deepen diplomatic ties, stimulate trade, and unlock a brighter, more expansive future for children in remote areas.

      <description><![CDATA[On January 28 at the Atlantic Council in Washington D.C., Minister of Economic Affairs Ming-Hsin Kung delivered a keynote speech and participated in an interview titled Taiwan's Role in Global Supply Chains and the Future of US-Taiwan Ties, where he elaborated on Taiwan's pivotal role in global supply chains.

During the well-received event, Minister Kung emphasized that Taiwan will be indispensable in two areas: the "explosive growth of AI" and the "creation of non-Red supply chains." He expressed his hope that Taiwan and the United States could work together to make even greater contributions to the world.

Following the event, Minister Kung also held a closed-door meeting to exchange views on deepening the Taiwan-U.S. economic and trade partnership. Major U.S. chambers of commerce, industry associations, technology companies, think tanks, and trade experts attended the meeting.

Minister Kung noted that over the past decade, major developments would include the U.S.-China trade war, the COVID-19 pandemic, and the Trump administration's tariff policies. Throughout these challenges, Taiwan has demonstrated immense resilience, gradually shifting from a reliance on the Chinese market to a global strategic layout.

Leveraging its strength in the global foundry and IC packaging/testing markets, Taiwan has formed a close technological synergy based on diverse competencies with U.S. IC design firms.

Minister Kung emphasized that the Taiwan-U.S. economic partnership has continued to grow during this process. From 2020 to 2024, Taiwanese investment in the U.S. grew at an average annual rate of 36%. Currently, Taiwanese manufacturers have established semiconductor and ICT industry clusters across several U.S. states, including California, Arizona, and Texas.

Looking ahead, under the trend of "non-Red supply chains," Taiwan and the U.S. will collaborate comprehensively in critical fields such as next-generation communications, low-earth orbit (LEO) satellites, Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS), critical minerals, and biotechnology.]]></description>

      <link>https://www.moea.gov.tw/MNS/english/news/News.aspx?kind=6&amp;menu_id=176&amp;news_id=122450</link>
      <description><![CDATA[March 5, 2026-Today marks the beginning of Jingzhe, one of the 24 solar terms on the traditional Chinese calendar, denoting the awakening of hibernating insects. As the weather turns warmer, birds and other animals are beginning to become active. Today, Taipower launched the Jingzhe Stable Supply project, spanning power distribution, transmission, and generation systems. The Company mobilized over 4000 personnel to remove bird nests, trim trees, install bird repellers and anti-snake/rat netting, and sealing cable conduit caps. It also implemented measures such as monitoring line facilities, upgrading or replacing old equipment, and protecting improvements to strengthen the power supply resilience. All of these efforts aim to reduce the occurrence of power outages due to external forces such as wildlife. 

A Taipower representative explained that according to the Company's estimates, nearly 50% of ordinary accidental power outages are caused by external forces. Excluding equipment damage due to traffic accidents, wire damage during construction or pipeline excavation, and trees making contact with wires during felling, approximately 40% of these outages are due to contact with wildlife. Some birds and animals scuttle back and forth on top of powerlines, or use metal materials such as steel wires as building materials for their nests. When their plumage, tails, or the steel wires in their nests make contact with the equipment lines, it can result in a power outage.

In recent years, Taipower has adopted two major approaches for dealing with power outages due to contact with wildlife: blocking contact paths and constructing a friendly environment. This replaces the old methodology "post-incident repairs" with one of "pre-incident prevention", and aims to reduce the occurrence of power outages due to contact with wildlife. According to the Company's estimates, 2838 outages were caused by wildlife in 2012, compared to only 1011 in 2025, an overall reduction of more than 60%.

The Jingzhe Stable Supply project encompasses power distribution, transmission, and generation systems. Taipower has dispatched more than 4000 personnel to conduct line protection and defensive monitoring. Aside from 24 business offices across Taiwan and 6 supply operation centers, the Company has targeted all levels of power substations, transmission lines, and distribution facilities for resilience enhancement. This includes upgrading electrical cables, covering exposed equipment, trimming trees, and removing bird nests located on top of utility poles. Additionally, as wildlife frequently appears in the switchyards of 21 hydropower and thermal power plants, the Company will enhance gap sealing of conduit entry points and related equipment and install protective netting to defend against harm by birds, snakes, and other animals, thereby enhancing the stability of the power supply. Taipower will also conduct equipment inspections at sites such as MRTs, marketplaces, and department stores, and provide hands-on training and safety guidance for user-side power equipment to jointly mitigate potential risks.

This project will fully inspect all areas of electrical facilities that wildlife tend to nest in or travel through, removing them before incidents occur. If fledglings or eggs are discovered, the nests will be relocated, delivered to animal welfare organizations or zoos, or transferred to members of the public who are interested in fostering them, thereby achieving the dual goals of a stable energy supply and ecological protection.

      <link>https://www.moea.gov.tw/MNS/english/news/News.aspx?kind=6&amp;menu_id=176&amp;news_id=122451</link>
      <description><![CDATA[March 2, 2026-Taipower revealed its 2026 outlook today. The Company will adhere to its mission of ensuring a stable power supply, with a focus on three key topics: future electricity demand trends, developing and enhancing power facility infrasturcture, and urban planning for the semiconductor industry. A Taipower representative emphasized that electricity is a city's competitive power. As the global AI and semiconductor industries swiftly develop, each region is vying to attract factories. When selecting locations, these industries will prioritize cities that support power plant construction, thus, future urban planning should support enhanced energy development and energy systems.

Taiwan-US tariff fluctuations spur industrial development; energy consumption expected to increase by 5 million kWh by 2030.

Due to new developments in Taiwan-US tariff policies, aligned with the expanded production needs of Taiwan's AI sector (including related OEM, memory, seals, packaging, and server industry chains), Taipower estimates that energy consumption will increase by over 5 million kWh by 2030. Over the next decade (from 2026 to 2035), growth of energy needs for Taipower's systems will accelerate noticeably, with the average annual growth more than double that of the previous  decade. To satisfy future energy needs and aid in Taiwan's industrial development, Taipower will continue to examine the supply and demand circumstances for its systems and plans to expand the promotion of energy R&D and grid construction. 

In response to energy needs, Taipower is fully investing in energy R&D and grid construction, aiming to support all sectors of society.

In terms of energy sources, a total of four units will be successively brought online this year: Hsinta's new gas-fired No. 2 and No. 3 units, and Taichung's new No. 1 and No. 2 units. In the future Taipower will install units with a total capacity of over 5.2 million kWh while simultaneously investing in demonstration work at an unprecedented scale. Meanwhile, the grid faces structural transformation and upgrade challenges. For example, energy consumption by AI data centers is comparable to that of the semiconductor industry; however, the buildings are much smaller in volume than those of the average large manufacturing plant. Data centers can be built in metropolitan areas; however, their energy consumption density far exceeds anything seen before, creating a challenge for existing grid systems. Therefore, electricity resources and proper pairing of facilities are key factors for relevant industries and regional economic growth. Taipower hopes that the public will support its comprehensive investment in necessary infrastructure construction. 

Taipower signs agreement with Westinghouse Technology; manufacturer officially stationed at No. 3 Nuclear Plant for safety check.

With regard to nuclear energy, Taipower's No. 3 Nuclear Plant has completed the initial steps of its plan to restart operations, and the plan will be submitted to the Nuclear Safety Commission (NSC) before the end of March, as scheduled. As for the self-implemented safety check of the No. 3 Nuclear Plant; on January 15 of this year, Taipower signed a memorandum of understanding with the US Westinghouse Company (the original designer of the No. 3 Nuclear Plant). Westinghouse Company has agreed to provide technical assistance and necessary support for the NSC inspection. Moreover, the official procurement agreement was finalized and took effect on February 13. Technical personnel from Westinghouse will be gradually stationed at the No. 3 Nuclear Plant to begin relevant work. Taipower will also adhere to its strict professionalism of treating nuclear safety as the top priority.

Electricity is a city's competitive power! Industrial strategies and urban planning must prioritize considerations of power infrastructure.

The semiconductor industry is turning to regions with ample power supplies, and AI data centers are being built in places with a resilient power grid. When selecting sites, semiconductor plants and AI data centers prioritize the consideration of cities that support the construction of power plants, establishing an optimal balance of  computing power and electricity supply. Furthermore, urban planning is not just about building roads, but also about planning powerlines. It is therefore recommended that future urban planning incorporate the consideration of power infrastructure such as  water, electricity, and other basic support lines, as well as space for power substations and other key installations. A Taipower representative emphasized that electricity is a city's competitive power: The more plentiful a region's energy sources and the more resilient its power grid, the greater the capability to ensure a stable power supply and attract industrial investments, thereby enhancing the city's competitive power and promoting regional economic development.

      <description><![CDATA[The Ministry of Economic Affairs (MOEA) officially announced the "R.O.C. 2026 Renewable Energy Feed-in Tariffs (FIT) and Calculation Formulas." During the public consultation process, the FIT Review Committee evaluated the opinions from stakeholders. Overall, the policy continues to offer incentives for diverse renewable energy installations and promoting the development and deployment of renewable energy technologies.

MOEA indicated that the incentives and supporting mechanisms under the 2026 FIT are designed to sustain the momentum of renewable energy development in Taiwan, while certain mechanisms have been introduced or adjusted in response to practical implementation experience in order to further enhance installation incentives.

For solar PV, a repowering mechanism has been newly introduced to encourage the replacement of aging equipment with higher-efficiency products. For conventional geothermal power, given that the domestic commercial model remains at an early stage of development and to ensure financial stability for project operators, the committee decided to maintain the tiered FIT structure. The FIT rates for each category of renewable energy in 2026 are detailed in the attached tables.

MOEA further noted that during the public consultation period, stakeholders raised concerns regarding the FIT classification of floating offshore wind, geothermal capacity thresholds, and the categorization the appropriateness of waste-to-energy FIT rates. MOEA will also continue to collect information and make rolling adjustments in response to market and technological developments.

Finally, MOEA emphasized that the 2026 FIT review process followed a fair, transparent, and rigorous procedure to ensure that the tariffs, together with related incentives and supporting measures, are well aligned with Taiwan's renewable energy development. Records of the public consultation and FIT Review Committee meetings have been published on the official website (https://gov.tw/Z4K). MOEA will continue to polish the institutional design thereof, so to strengthen the foundation for the steady development of renewable energy in Taiwan.

      <link>https://www.moea.gov.tw/MNS/english/news/News.aspx?kind=6&amp;menu_id=176&amp;news_id=121889</link>
      <description><![CDATA[The Ministry of Economic Affairs (MOEA) announced today that the Advanced Semiconductor R&D Center has officially broken ground at the Industrial Technology Research Institute (ITRI) headquarters campus in Hsinchu. Jointly promoted by the MOEA, the National Development Council (NDC), and the National Science and Technology Council (NSTC), the project is supported under the IC Taiwan initiative and will establish the nation's first 12-inch advanced semiconductor pilot line. Scheduled for completion in December 2027, this R&D center will provide comprehensive services including innovative IC design verification, advanced process development, and localized equipment and material validation. The facility is designed to lower verification barriers for startups and small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), effectively bridging the gap between laboratory research and industrial commercialization. By enabling deployment of cutting-edge technologies such as AI chips, silicon photonics, and quantum technologies, the Center will further solidify Taiwan's leadership within the global semiconductor ecosystem.

Minister of Economic Affairs Kung Ming-hsin noted that Taiwan's 8.36% economic growth last year was largely driven by semiconductor and AI sectors, with continued positive momentum expected. He emphasized the ministry's role in providing SMEs with opportunities for small-scale, diversified, and specialized chip prototyping. By integrating new 12-inch R&D capabilities with upgraded 8-inch pilot lines, this R&D center will provide a comprehensive one-stop service platform covering design, manufacturing, packaging, and testing. In addition, it will allow domestic equipment and material suppliers to conduct on-site demonstration and validation, accelerating their integration into international markets and global supply chains. Minister Kung expressed his expectation that this R&D center will expedite the development of a resilient, autonomous, and next-generation semiconductor innovation ecosystem in Taiwan.

According to the Department of Industrial Technology, this R&D center is a key part of a broader national semiconductor infrastructure plan comprising three major pilot lines and a metrology validation laboratory. The 12-inch advanced pilot line represents an investment of NT$3.77 billion and will be Taiwan's first high-technology semiconductor facility of its kind operated by a research institution. The facility construction is scheduled to be completed in December 2027, with operations commencing in the first quarter of 2028. The pilot line will provide 28-90 nm back-end-of-line (BEOL) process R&D and pilot production services, with the goal of shortening product development cycles by approximately 30%. Supporting forward-looking technologies such as quantum computing, silicon photonics, ASICs, and 3D integration, this R&D center enables domestic firms to complete the full R&D-validation-iteration cycle within Taiwan. Additionally, this R&D center will strengthen supply chain resilience, promote academic collaboration, cultivate high-level technical talent, and establish a comprehensive semiconductor innovation ecosystem for the AI era.]]></description>

      <link>https://www.moea.gov.tw/MNS/english/news/News.aspx?kind=6&amp;menu_id=176&amp;news_id=121874</link>
      <description><![CDATA[With the Lunar New Year approaching and families gathering for reunion dinners, the Bureau of Standards, Metrology and Inspection (BSMI) reminds the public to pay close attention to the safe use of gas stoves and gas-fired water heaters (hereinafter referred to as  "gas appliances" ). When using gas appliances, consumers should always ensure good ventilation and take proper precautions in product selection, installation, and regular maintenance.

To safeguard public safety in the use of gas appliances, BSMI urges consumers to follow the user manuals and safety instructions, and to pay special attention to the following five key points:
1. Look for a qualified inspection mark
The body of the gas appliance should bear the Commodity Inspection Mark( (Picture as attachment file) or (Picture as attachment file) ). Consumers are advised not to purchase products of unknown origin to ensure safe use.
2. Choose the correct type
Select an appropriate appliance based on the ventilation conditions of the installation site and the type of gas used, such as liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), natural gas, or liquefied natural gas. If choosing an outdoor-type (RF) water heater, it should be installed outdoors in a well-ventilated area. If choosing an indoor gas water heater, such as a semi-enclosed forced-exhaust type (FE) or a sealed forced-exhaust type (FF), an appropriate exhaust duct must be properly installed.
3. Ensure correct installation
Gas appliances should be installed by a licensed technician (Specific Gas Appliance Installation Technician). In addition, the gas regulator and gas hose used must also bear the Commodity Inspection Mark.
4. Maintain proper ventilation
Always maintain good ventilation when using gas appliances. In particular, if a water heater is installed on a balcony, avoid hanging large amounts of laundry that may obstruct airflow. If a gas appliance is used indoors or on an enclosed balcony (e.g., with added windows), it should be replaced with a forced-exhaust water heater. If a gas leak occurs, do not operate any electrical switches. Turn off the gas supply, gently open doors and windows to ventilate, and leave the area immediately for an outdoor location.
5. Conduct regular maintenance
Arrange periodic safety checks and maintenance by a licensed technician or the manufacturer's service personnel to prevent accidents caused by aging or worn components.

BSMI further reminds the public to exercise extra caution when using gas appliances, especially during cold season. Do not keep doors and windows tightly closed due to the cold, as poor ventilation may increase the risk of carbon monoxide poisoning. Maintaining good indoor ventilation is essential to effectively prevent carbon monoxide incidents.

      <link>https://www.moea.gov.tw/MNS/english/news/News.aspx?kind=6&amp;menu_id=176&amp;news_id=122452</link>
      <description><![CDATA[February 3, 2026-To facilitate the smooth progress of a major national energy construction project, this morning Taipower held a ceremony publicly committing to create a procurement integrity platform for the Hsieh-ho Plant Upgrade Renovation Plan-Sea Wall, Land Reclamation, and LNG Unloading Dock Maritime Construction Procurement Project. Authorities from the Ministry of Economic Affairs, the Ministry of Justice, the Prosecutor's Office, the Agency Against Corruption (AAC), and the Ministry of Justice Investigation Bureau (MJIB) joined hands with Taipower at the Hsieh-ho Construction Office, jointly committing to the spirit of cross-sector collaboration, public-private partnership, transparent administration, and public supervision. The coalition aims to reject undue external influence and ensure fairness and impartiality during construction, as well as legal compliance, adherence to quality standards, and on-schedule completion, thereby achieving the goals of a stable power supply and reduced air pollution in the northern region.

A Taipower representative expressed that the Hsieh-ho Plant Upgrade Renovation Plan aims to simultaneously ensure a stable power supply and improve air quality. This plan will replace the plant's four outdated oil-fired units with two new gas-powered units. After construction is completed, the plant will provide customers on the northeastern power grid with stable electricity while reducing air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions by 96% and 52%, respectively. The maritime construction portion of the project involves highly difficult breakwater engineering, land reclamation through embankment, and installation of an LNG unloading dock.

Hsieh-ho's maritime construction is highly specialized, requiring an enormous procurement amount, and the plant is one of Taiwan's key energy facilities; thus, the project has attracted public interest. To alleviate public concerns and practice information transparency, Taipower has joined hands with the AAC, the Prosecutor's Office, and the MJIB to establish a procurement integrity platform. The Company aims, through public and transparent methods, to invite external examination and supervision to facilitate the smooth completion of this major procurement project.
To demonstrate their proactive attitude, after the commitment ceremony, Taipower, relevant units, and elected committee members immediately convened their first coordination meeting, where they exchanged views on how to safeguard independence and guard against legal risks during the bidding phase of the Hsieh-ho construction project. Moving forward, Taipower will utilize this coordination mechanism to periodically exchange views with judicial and executive authorities regarding hidden risks and controversies, enabling it to establish early warning and handling systems. This will not only prevent fraud but also facilitate project success by enabling suppliers to focus on fulfilling their obligations.

Information regarding the Hsieh-ho Plant Upgrade Renovation Plan-Sea Wall, Land Reclamation, and LNG Unloading Dock Maritime Construction Procurement Project, such as the construction progress and related meeting minutes, will be gradually disclosed on the Procurement Integrity Platform page of Taipower's website. Members of the public are invited to collectively monitor the project, and it is hoped that through transparent administration, the Company can eliminate undue external influences and ensure the progress and quality of this major procurement project.

The commitment ceremony was presided over by Taipower Chairman Tseng Wen-Sheng. Ministry of Economic Affairs Vice Minister Chien-Hsin Lai; Agency Against Corruption, Ministry of Justice Director-General Ping Cheng; Taiwan Keelung District Prosecutors Office Chief Prosecutor Ke I-Fen; Keelung Ministry of Justice Investigation Bureau Director Huang Shu-Hua; Department of Civil Service Ethics, Ministry of Economic Affairs Director Chi Chia-Chen; Department of Civil Service Ethics, Keelung City Government Director Lee Kuo-Cheng; and other esteemed guests were on site as witnesses, demonstrating a commitment to the four key principles: cross-sector collaboration, public-private partnership, transparent administration, and public supervision.

Through this international exchange, TSC aims to raise awareness of the historically significant local railways in both Taiwan and Japan, while promoting cultural preservation and tourism to preserve the generational memories and cultural heritage carried by these railways.

The signing ceremony for this tourism cooperation was held with great fanfare on January 23 at the Wushulin Cultural Park in Tainan. Under the witness of many guests, TSC's Chairman Wu Ming-chang signed the agreement alongside Kamikawa Motoharu, President of Wakasa Railway Co., Ltd., Yoshida Hideto, Chairman, and Yabe Masahiko, Executive Director. Moving forward, both parties will engage in multifaceted collaboration across railway cultural exchange, tourism promotion, educational experiences, and international marketing. This partnership aims to introduce more travelers to the profound historical heritage of both the Taiwan Sugar Railway and Japan Wakasa Railway.

To commemorate this cross-border milestone, TSC specially featured the SL-370 steam locomotive, which appeared in the film A Foggy Tale, at the signing ceremony. The locomotive whistled and pulled the No.109 inspection car, built in 1941, moving forward slowly in a ceremonial procession. Accompanied by a display of various other sugar railway locomotives, the spectacle served as a heartfelt blessing for the burgeoning partnership between Taiwan and Japan.

TSC stated that the Taiwan Sugar Railway has been traversing this land for over 120 years, evolving from its origins in transporting sugarcane to its modern role in providing tourism experiences. Similarly, Wakasa Railway, which is 96 years old, has shared a parallel path with the Wushulin Sugar Railway, both undergoing industrial transformation and local revitalization. They have evolved from their original transportation functions into cultural assets with immense tourism value, serving as the best witnesses to regional revitalization and the changing times. Through this one year reciprocal ticket partnership, TSC hopes to invite more travelers to visit Tainan's Wushulin and Japan's Wakasa. By experiencing the moving landscapes born from the heritage and rebirth of these two locations, the railway will serve as a bridge connecting the cities and cultures of Taiwan and Japan.

      <description><![CDATA[January 26, 2026-Taipower convened a press conference at the Ministry of Economic Affairs today on Initiatives to Enhance the Stability of the Power Distribution System. A Taipower representative described the outcomes of power distribution system improvements as follows: In recent years, Taipower has accelerated the phasing out of old facilities, incorporated smart monitoring systems, and implemented measures to prevent wildlife from making contact with power equipment, comprehensively replacing the philosophy of "post-incident repairs" with one of "pre-incident prevention". Compared to 2012, when there were 21,019 power distribution incidents, in 2025 there were only 6191 incidents-a 70% decrease. Additionally, last year, Taipower completed the installation of automated systems for feeder lines nationwide. These systems can automatically detect and isolate faults, which greatly increases the overall efficiency of power restoration. Taipower will continue to invest in energy system enhancements, aiming to create a more resilient, smarter, and friendlier power grid to increase the quality of power services for the people of Taiwan.

The structure of Taipower's energy distribution network is complex. There are more than 10,000 feeder lines throughout Taiwan, with a total length of 440,000 kilometers-enough to wrap around the planet 10 times. Along these lines, Taipower has installed a cumulative 1.57 million switches and 1.58 million transformers, along with approximately 3.26 million utility poles. When the equipment in any area is affected by a natural disaster, external forces, or a failure of the equipment itself, it can trigger a feeder trip, causing a small-scale localized outage. To reduce outage incidents, in 2023, Taipower launched the Power Distribution System 5-year Upgrade Plan, investing NT$33.4 billion to accelerate the replacement of outdated transformers, lines, and switches nationwide. Through the continuous promotion of this plan, Taipower will further prevent the occurrence of power outages.

Furthermore, in response to the assault by Typhoon Danas last year, Taipower established a special project to create a disaster-proof grid, prioritizing the undergrounding of utility poles on key roads, such as Provincial Highways 17, 19, 9, and 11, which are vulnerable to wind damage but resistant to flooding. For areas prone to subsidence and flooding, measures were adjusted accordingly; through a combination of pole reinforcement and the interspersed installation of class E utility poles capable of withstanding level 17 winds, Taipower has prevented chain reactions of toppling poles, and greatly increased the equipment's disaster resilience.

In recent years, Taipower has continuously adopted smart monitoring technologies, including infrared ray heat imaging and very low frequency (VLF) cable testing. According to initial estimates, a total of 636,000 transformer boxes and 4.1 million meters of cables underwent inspection last year, allowing the Company to identify outdated equipment with potential risks of breakdown and replacing it in advance. Last year, Taipower also completed the installation of automated systems on its feeder lines. Through increased line intelligence, when accidents occur, engineers can actively identify and isolate faults, and restore power to customers in unaffected areas within 5 minutes-ten times faster than with traditional emergency repairs. This has effectively improved the efficiency of power restoration.

According to Taipower's statistics, nearly 50% of power distribution accidents are caused by external forces, and among those, approximately 40% occur due to contact with wildlife. To simultaneously ensure a stable power supply and protect the environment, Taipower continuously engages in tree-trimming efforts and has installed insulated conductors on approximately 1 million utility poles nationwide. Additionally, by transplanting bird nests found on top of utility poles and installing environmentally friendly bird baskets, the Company guides birds away from danger. Taipower has also added bird repellers, anti-rat and ant-snake netting, sealed gaps in conduits, and taken other measures to prevent wildlife from making contact with electrical equipment. Through the continuous efforts of Taipower employees, the number of power outages occurring due to contact with equipment by wildlife and trees dropped from 4073 incidents in 2012 to only 1772 in 2025, an overall reduction of over 50%, which is a remarkable result.

A stable power supply is the mission and duty of Taipower personnel. Whether engaged in regular inspections and maintenance or round-the-clock repairs during typhoons, Taipower employees are at the frontline providing electricity to the people, protecting the light on every inch of land in Taiwan. Taipower will continue to enhance its power distribution system, reduce outages, and safeguard the Taiwanese people's right to electricity.

      <link>https://www.moea.gov.tw/MNS/english/news/News.aspx?kind=6&amp;menu_id=176&amp;news_id=121699</link>
      <description><![CDATA[The Bureau of Standards, Metrology and Inspection (BSMI) stated today (January 15) that, to ensure the safety and performance of hydrogen fuel cell applications, the international practice primarily follows the IEC 62282 series of standards for the testing and verification of hydrogen fuel cell power generation systems and their components.
To accelerate the alignment of Taiwan's hydrogen fuel cell standards with international benchmarks, BSMI established an inter-ministerial Hydrogen Energy Standards Working Group in 2024. The working group systematically reviews and analyzes relevant international standards while continuously coordinating standardization requirements with government agencies and state-owned enterprises.
BSMI further noted that, as of the end of 2025, a total of 17 CNS national standards related to hydrogen fuel cells have been completed. These standards cover the mainstream Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cells (PEMFC) and Solid Oxide Fuel Cells (SOFC) currently available on the market, encompassing safety, performance, and testing and verification requirements from single cells, stacks, and modules through to complete power generation systems. In addition, standards for mobile grid-connected, vehicle-mounted, and micro-scale hydrogen fuel cell power generation systems will be established and revised in phases to address product safety and testing requirements in resilient power grids, transportation systems, and consumer electronics.
Moreover, in coordination with relevant policy initiatives, BSMI will establish local testing capabilities for hydrogen fuel cell systems at the 100 kW scale, providing domestic industries with testing and verification services and reducing the cost and time associated with overseas testing. To keep pace with international developments, BSMI will continue reviewing and revising relevant safety and testing standards, providing guidance for government, industry, academia, and research institutions, while driving industrial development and technological advancement.
Hydrogen fuel cells offer advantages such as high energy density, low noise, minimal pollution and carbon emissions, diverse fuel options, and long-duration operation. They can serve as distributed power sources for resilient power grids, effectively addressing noise and exhaust emissions commonly associated with conventional diesel generators. Hydrogen fuel cells can also provide power for transportation applications (such as vehicles and vessels), compact electronic devices (including laptops and portable power banks), as well as backup power supply for critical facilities, including hospitals and emergency shelters.

      <title><![CDATA[The last mile in completing the island-wide grid! Taipower seeks collaboration for joint Suhua Safety Project and grid construction]]></title>
      <link>https://www.moea.gov.tw/MNS/english/news/News.aspx?kind=6&amp;menu_id=176&amp;news_id=122454</link>
      <description><![CDATA[January 21, 2026-Grid construction is closely tied to a stable power supply and regional development. In recent years, Taipower has continuously promoted initiatives to connect the island-wide grid, which will increase the resilience of the power supply through mutual interregional support. However, the eastern region faces constraints due to geographical conditions, making construction difficult. Today, Taipower announced that it is actively discussing a collaboration with the Ministry of Transportation and Communications (MOTC) that will incorporate grid construction into the Suhua Highway Safety Enhancement Project (Suhua Safety Project). This joint construction project will complete the island-wide grid and increase grid resilience in the eastern region.

A Taipower representative explained that the Hualien region's electricity is currently supplied primarily via the New East-West Line, a high voltage transmission line that traverses the Central Mountain Range. The key to the smooth completion and stable operation of this project lay in close cooperation between Taipower and the Forestry and Nature Conservation Agency (FANCA), Ministry of Agriculture. 

The New East-West Line passes through rugged mountainous terrain. Construction and maintenance work depend heavily on the Danda Forest Road and other established access roads. However, the Danda Forest Road is frequently damaged by landslides and other natural disasters. The Sunhai Bridge at its entrance was also previously damaged by a typhoon. These factors have seriously impacted Taipower personnel's ability to enter the mountain range to conduct grid maintenance. However, through collaboration with FANCA, both agencies have jointly invested in road repairs and maintenance, successfully integrating road and grid maintenance, and demonstrating the concrete results of cross-ministerial collaboration. 

The New East-West Line not only allows energy to circulate between the east and west sides of the island but also enhances the eastern grid's resilience to extreme weather conditions. Taipower has actively promoted initiatives to connect the island-wide grid; however, the area south of Heping, Hualien is currently constrained by geographical and environmental conditions. Ultimately, linkage of a 48-kilometer section remains incomplete. Taipower previously planned a Hegong-Fenglin transmission line project, but because the line would pass through Taroko National Park, and also due to the precipitous local topography, it has been difficult to find a suitable sites for transmission tower construction.

As it happens, the MOTC is currently working on the Suhua Safety Project. If both agencies can collaborate to jointly complete the undergrounding of cables and tunnel construction, it should resolve the current dilemma. Not only will this effectively utilize national land resources; after completion, it will enhance the stability of the power supply, reducing the risk of major outages in the Hualien region. To this end, Taipower expressed its gratitude to Executive Yuan Minister without Portfolio Chen Chin-de for convening cross-ministerial discussion meetings. Through these meetings, Taipower hopes to achieve joint cooperation, facilitate the integration of Suhua Safety Project construction into grid planning, and take the last steps to complete the island-wide grid, elevating the resilience of the Hualien-Taitung power grid.

      <title><![CDATA[Bureau of Standards, Metrology and Inspection reminds consumers of safety precautions when wearing children's rain boots]]></title>
      <link>https://www.moea.gov.tw/MNS/english/news/News.aspx?kind=6&amp;menu_id=176&amp;news_id=121612</link>
      <description><![CDATA[The Bureau of Standards, Metrology and Inspection (BSMI) under the Ministry of Economic Affairs stated today (January 8, 2026) that children's rain boots are not products subject to mandatory inspection by BSMI. Parents are advised to follow six key principles when purchasing and using children's rain boots:  "check labeling carefully,"  "choose natural materials,"  "identify through smelling, looking, and touching,"  "ensure ventilation and avoid high temperatures,"  "wear long socks for better protection," and  "wash hands thoroughly after removal,"  in order to safeguard children's wearing safety.

BSMI explained that a wide variety of children's rain boots in different types and styles are available on the market. Consumers are advised, when purchasing and using such products, to consider not only factors such as price, practicality, and brand, but also to pay attention to the following matters:
1.Consumers should purchase products with Chinese labeling and carefully read the instructions for use and precautionary information.
2.Priority should be given to products made of natural materials (such as rubber) or new materials [such as silicone or EVA plastic (chemical name: ethylene-vinyl acetate)].
3.When purchasing or using the product, consumers may make judgments through sensory observation:
(1)Smell: Avoid purchasing rain boots that emit a strong plastic odor.
(2)Color: Avoid purchasing rain boots with overly bright or fluorescent colors.
(3)Touch: If the surface feels greasy or is prone to color fading or damage, there may be a risk of additive migration; such products should be avoided or no longer used.
4.Newly purchased rain boots should be placed in a well-ventilated area and air-dried in the shade for several days to allow volatile organic compounds to dissipate.
5.Keep away from high temperatures, as plasticizers are more likely to be released under heat. After rain boots become wet, they should be air-dried naturally; do not use a hair dryer with hot air or expose them to direct sunlight.
6.During use, children are advised to wear long socks to avoid direct friction and contact between the skin and the inner surface of the rain boots.
7.After removing the rain boots, children should develop the habit of washing their hands immediately with soap (or hand wash) to prevent residual chemicals from remaining on their hands.

For children's rain boots on the market that fail to meet quality requirements, BSMI will, in accordance with Article 10 of the Consumer Protection Act, guide manufacturers and sellers to recall or correct the products within a specified period. BSMI will also conduct periodic market sampling and testing, and release the results in a timely manner to assist consumers in making informed purchases.

      <description><![CDATA[January 9, 2026-Taipower has been dedicated to the development of sports in Taiwan for 80 years. In that time, the Company has established six top-ranked state-owned enterprise teams and cultivated over 500 national athletes. Today, Taipower was honored in the Sports Activist Awards, winning three major awards for the 11th consecutive year: the Gold Award (Sponsor category), the Long-term Sponsorship Award (Sponsor category), and the Gold Award (Promotion category). A Taipower representative expressed that in addition to the Company's mission of ensuring a stable power supply, Taipower has been managing multiple sports teams for many years, thereby facilitating the cultivation of up-and-coming talents and encouraging athletes to follow their dreams. Last year, the Company also revised its internal regulations, easing the restriction preventing former players from returning to Taipower teams after competing professionally. In the future, Taipower will continue to promote sports-related public welfare initiatives to foster sportsmanship at the grassroots level and practice corporate social responsibility.

The 2025 Sports Activist Awards Ceremony was held today at the Taipei Performing Arts Center. Taipower Vice President Tsai Chih-Meng accepted the award from Executive Yuan Premier Cho Jung-Tai on behalf of the Company. This year marked the 17th Sports Activist Awards. Taipower stood out among 136 corporate and individual participants, receiving the award for the 16th time, and sweeping three major categories for the 11th consecutive year, joining the ranks of esteemed companies such as Taiwan Cooperative Bank, First Commercial Bank, and Chunghwa Telecom. 

To encourage Taipower players to continuously to test their limits through domestic and international professional competitions, the Company revised its internal regulations last year, relaxing the restriction that prevented former players who had transferred to competitive professional sports leagues from returning to Taipower teams. Now, if players leave Taipower teams due to national athletic development needs, they can apply for leave without pay and retain their team member status, enabling them to compete in overseas or domestic league matches without disturbing their status at Taipower.

Since 1946, Taipower has successively established six sports teams: men's baseball, men's volleyball, women's badminton, women's volleyball, men's soccer, and women's basketball. The teams have a longstanding history of discovering potential talent at the high school and college level and training these star athletes for the benefit of Taiwan. Among them, Chiu Pin-Chian from the Taipower women's badminton team emerged as champion in the women's singles category at the 2025 Korea Masters (Super 300 class), earning her first BWF super championship trophy. She is also the first Taiwanese badminton player since Badminton Queen Tai Tzu-ying to win a women's singles championship at the Super 300 class or higher, bringing honor to Taiwan.

Taipower's sports teams also achieved outstanding results at various domestic competitions. In 2025, the baseball team ranked first in the National Top Division Baseball Spring League and third in the Popcorn League. The men's and women's volleyball teams ranked second and first, respectively, in the 2024 Top Volleyball League regular season. On the women's badminton team, Chen Su-Yu won second place in the women's singles category in the second National Badminton Ranking Tournament of 2025. The soccer team ranked second in the 2025 Taiwan President FA Cup. As for the women's basketball team, Taipower netted five potential stars in the 2025 draft, including top pick Ting Chih-Jung, and hopes to once again create good results in this year's competition.

In addition to cultivating athletic talents, Taipower also exercises corporate social responsibility by promoting public welfare through sports. The Company organizes an annual Care Train, which dispatches players to schools in remote areas to teach children athletic skills and sportsmanship. Over 100 sessions have been held to date. Moreover, since 2016, the Company has hosted the Taipower Fun Sports Camp every summer, where national athletes serve as summer camp counselors to lead students in drills. Last year, the camp attracted 3600 schoolchildren to play ball together, bringing the total number of participants to over 22,000 since its inception.

      <description><![CDATA[In response to U.S. tariff adjustments and the ongoing restructuring of global supply chains, the Ministry of Economic Affairs (MOEA) on December 2, 2025 launched an updated initiative titled "Supporting Enterprises in Expanding into Diverse Markets and Securing Overseas Orders." With a budget of nearly NT$10 billion, the program aims to help Taiwanese companies more rapidly identify buyers, enter target markets, and expand global sales.

Since taking office, Minister of Economic Affairs Kung Ming-Hsin has consulted with industrial groups across key sectors-including machinery, tools, and hardware-to gain insights for guiding the MOEA's diversified market expansion program.

The initiative consolidates key resources to boost global competitiveness, tripling subsidies to manufacturers for exhibitions and doubling subsidies to associations for Taiwan Pavilions, product launches, and buyer networking events.

This initiative of nearly NT$10 billion integrates key resources for industries to boost the following aspects for global expansion:

1) Increased Exhibition Subsidies: Tripling of subsidies for manufacturers and doubling of subsidies for associations to support Taiwan Pavilions, product launches, and buyer networking events.

2) Buyer Direct Access and Flagship Taiwan Pavilions: Overseas buyers are invited to visit factories and witness product testing in Taiwan, while large-scale themed Taiwan Pavilions showcase domestic industrial strengths at major trade shows in the U.S., Japan, and Europe.

3) Upgraded Digital Marketing and Overseas Services: Offering AI marketing tools, trade data dashboards, and dedicated consulting to increase outreach to buyers. Flexible support is available for showrooms, service centers, warehouses, or subsidiaries. Taiwan Trade and Investment Centers provide one-stop guidance for overseas expansion.

All measures will take effect on January 1, 2026 and are expected to serve over 40,000 companies, thereby strengthening Taiwan's competitiveness in global markets.

For more details about market expansion, companies may call this toll-free hotline 0800-609-889 for assistance or visit the website of the International Trade Administration (TITA).

      <description><![CDATA[With the aim of helping Taiwan industry to better understand key trading nations' labor rights protection policy developments and to comply with related regulatory requirements of these countries, the Ministry of Economic Affairs has organized a series of seminars featuring informative presentations by international experts.

The first of these, namely the Seminar on U.S. Forced Labor Regulations, was held in virtual format on Dec. 3, 2025. At the invitation of the Ministry's International Trade Administration (TITA), four legal experts from the U.S. law firm briefed participants on the Withhold Release Order implemented by U.S. Customs and Border Protection under Section 307 of the Tariff Act of 1930, and on enforcement of the Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act. The session aimed to help Taiwanese businesses better understand international supply chain compliance requirements, build due diligence capabilities, and mitigate international trade risks.

The online event attracted over 500 representatives from industry, government, and academia. Participants included businesses operating in key industrial supply chains such as semiconductors, metal manufacturing, machinery, textiles and footwear, bicycles, electronic components, and medical devices, as well as import-export traders and other enterprises. Additionally, dozens of representatives from major industry associations and research institutions took part, including the Chung-Hua Institution for Economic Research, Taiwan Institute of Economic Research, Institute for Information Industry, as well as several human rights organizations and multiple universities. The high turnout reflects the heightened attention across domestic sectors toward international labor rights issues and underscores that forced labor has become a shared concern within the industrial community.

TITA will also host a Seminar on EU Forced Labour Product Ban Regulation on Dec. 17, 2025. The webinar will feature experts from the EU-based law firm who will provide an overview of the regulation and outline strategies for ensuring corporate compliance.

      <description><![CDATA[In line with the Executive Yuan's decision to extend the "Three Major Programs for Investing in Taiwan" through 2028, the Bureau of Industrial Parks (BIP) of the Ministry of Economic Affairs (MOEA) is committed to providing higher-quality industrial space to help enterprises anchor their operations in Taiwan. On the 26th, BIP held a press conference to showcase the achievements of its dual-engine strategy of industrial park development and park renewal. To date, 9 new industrial parks have been launched, with a total development area exceeding 560 hectares, expected to generate more than NT$100 billion in additional industrial output value and create approximately 30,000 jobs. At the same time, BIP has initiated the "Revitalization of Technology Industrial Parks Program," investing nearly NT$2 billion in its first phase to revitalize underutilized land. This effort has released 2.25 hectares of turnover land and attracted nearly NT$19 billion in private investment. Injecting new momentum into Taiwan's industrial development. 

BIP Director-General Yang Chih-Ching stated that land supply is the Bureau's most critical mission-not only for Taiwan's current industrial layout but also as a cornerstone for future industrial development and upgrading. In response to the extension of the "Three Major Programs for Investing in Taiwan" programs, BIP is accelerating the preparation of industrial space through both new park development and park renewal. "We are clearly seeing genuine demand from enterprises and continued investment activity. This is a strong and unmistakable signal of market-driven economic layout," Director-General Yang noted. 

Regarding progress in new industrial park development, 5 major industrial parks-Zhongpu, Shueishang, Sinshih, North Kaohsiung, Baojhong-as well as 4 major Technology Industrial Parks-- Kaohsiung Software Park Phase II, the expansion of the Pingtung Technology Industrial Park, Nanzih Technology Industrial Park Phase III, and Renwu Technology Industrial Park-are currently underway. Among these, the Baojhong Industrial Park and Renwu Technology Industrial Park are in the application stage, while the remaining parks have entered either the development or investment promotion phases. Notably, the Shueishang and Sinshih Industrial Parks have already reached 100% occupancy, while North Kaohsiung has exceeded 90%, underscoring the strong demand from industry for high-quality industrial space. To ensure the sustainable use of land resources, most new parks have adopted a "lease-only, no-sale" policy, effectively guiding land utilization and supporting the long-term development of industrial clusters. 

As for the renewal of existing parks, BIP is focusing on the Kaohsiung Cianzhen, Nanzih, and Taichung Tanzih Technology Industrial Parks, promoting comprehensive building renovation and land reconfiguration to create modern office and factory spaces that meet contemporary industrial needs. Under the Revitalization Program, BIP has allocated a special budget of NT$1.991 billion to acquire and repurpose underutilized factory buildings. Following renewal, an estimated 135,000 square meters of floor space will be released, creating nearly 2,000 jobs and serving as a key driver of local industrial upgrading.

Positive feedback from enterprises was also highlighted at the event. Lee Shu-Hsia, Vice President of ASE, shared that the government's efficiency in land release and administrative coordination has significantly reduced procedural burdens, allowing companies to focus more on technological and production line upgrades. Chen Chin-Shi, Vice President of Tong Yang Industry, noted that the infrastructure and transportation convenience provided by BIP support the transformation of traditional industries and talent recruitment. "During site selection, BIP's rapid response was tangible and highly supportive for businesses," he said. 

In addition to space development and renewal, BIP also announced its latest investment promotion results. As of now, 166 investment projects have been facilitated this year, with a total investment amount reaching NT$174.5 billion, including expanded investments from major enterprises such as ASE, Foxconn(Dynamic Computing Technology Co., Ltd.) and Yung-Shine Electric Co., Ltd. These investments span emerging sectors such as semiconductors, Ai and smart manufacturing, positioning industrial parks as strategic hubs for advanced manufacturing and innovative R&D.

BIP emphasized that it will continue to enhance land preparation efficiency and investment services, leveraging locational advantages and policy incentives to drive industrial upgrading, talent return, and increased investment. The goal is to build a globally competitive "Manufacturing Base in Taiwan," providing stable investment space for both Taiwanese and international enterprises, while demonstrating the government's firm commitment to keeping industries rooted in Taiwan and strengthening local supply chains.

      <description><![CDATA[Amid the rapid restructuring of global supply chains, Taiwan's industrial parks are increasingly becoming key hubs for advanced manufacturing and innovative R&D. The Bureau of Industrial Park (BIP) of the Ministry of Economic Affairs (MOEA) held the 2025 Investment Promotion Results Presentation on November 19, announcing that BIP had successfully facilitated 166 investment projects this year, with a total investment value reaching NT$174.5 billion. These achievements underscore Taiwan's rising competitiveness in AI, semiconductors, and smart manufacturing, and highlight BIP's proactive efforts to cultivate an attractive investment environment.
During the event, Deputy Director General Liu Chi-Chuan stated, "Industrial parks are not merely providers of land; they are partners in business growth. We will continue to enhance investment services and advance strategies centered on smart development, low-carbon transformation, and internationalization, making industrial parks the most trusted foundation for industry."
Held under the theme "Shared Prosperity in Parks, Co-Creating Investment Value," the event featured a ceremonial flag-planting to welcome the year's leading investors. Participants included ASE Group, the global leader in semiconductor packaging and testing with annual investments exceeding NT$35 billion; Dynamic Computing Technology, a Foxconn Technology Group affiliate collaborating with NVIDIA to build a cutting-edge AI Factory supercomputing center; and Yung-Shine Electric, which invested NT$2.66 billion to expand its new plant and group headquarters-symbolizing continued investment expansion and successful entry into industrial parks.
The event also featured a testimonial from Ms. Li Shu-Xia, Senior Vice President of ASE Kaohsiung, who shared insights from the company's investment experience. She noted that BIP's one-stop service model and commitment to fostering a high-quality investment environment enable enterprises to operate with confidence. Looking ahead, ASE will continue to seize opportunities driven by rapid AI growth by further expanding advanced packaging and testing operations in the Nanzih Industrial Park. BIP, in turn, will remain a strong pillar of support for park enterprises, jointly ushering in a new chapter of industrial upgrading.
BIP emphasized that these accomplishments are the result of sustained cross-ministerial coordination and concerted efforts to remove investment barriers. By proactively integrating essential resources, such as land, power supply, and technical support, BIP has established a comprehensive support framework that enables enterprises to expand steadily within industrial parks while minimizing entry obstacles. Furthermore, BIP has systematically organized the core technologies and development directions of individual projects, allowing attendees to stay abreast of the latest industrial chain dynamics and clearly perceive the dual benefits of policy support and market momentum.
Looking forward, BIP will continue to focus on creating a more competitive investment environment and plans to release several new industrial park sites with strong development potential. These include Changpin, Chiayi Zhongpu, Tainan Sinshih, North Kaohsiung, Kaohsiung Software Park Phase II, and the expanded area of the Pingtung Technology Industrial Park. These new locations will provide diversified options for enterprises, meeting needs for industrial upgrading and factory expansion, and injecting fresh momentum into Taiwan's industrial transformation.
Taiwan's next phase of industrial development is being paved by these industrial parks. Investment promotion is not merely an accumulation of capital-it is a relay race of industrial value creation and national competitiveness. As more key enterprises establish operations in Taiwan, BIP continues to release favorable policies and land resources, sending a strong signal to domestic and international investors alike: Taiwan is ready to welcome the next wave of investment. Enterprises with land requirements are encouraged to contact the investment service hotline at 0800-020-018. BIP also sincerely invites industry leaders to continue expanding their investments in Taiwan.

      <description><![CDATA[Taiwan and the UK have enjoyed a longstanding and close partnership in the areas of energy and climate. The 7th Taiwan&#8211;UK Energy Dialogue and the 20th Taiwan&#8211;UK Renewable Energy Roundtable convened in London on November 26, further deepening bilateral cooperation and fostering new opportunities for industry.

The Energy Dialogue serves as an important platform for the exchange of knowledge and experience between Taiwan and the UK. This year's discussions included offshore wind power policy, offshore wind project financing, and marine spatial planning. Meanwhile, the 20th Taiwan&#8211;UK Renewable Energy Roundtable focused on offshore wind port planning, subsea infrastructure, emerging marine energy technologies, smart grid integration, grid resilience, and energy storage technologies.

Vincent Chin-hsiang Yao, Head of the Taipei Representative Office in the U.K., and Lord Faulkner of Worcester, the UK's Trade Envoy to Taiwan, opened both meetings and jointly witnessed the signing of a memorandum of understanding between Metal Industries Research and Development Centre and the UK's Offshore Renewable Energy Catapult.

Representative Yao remarked that Taiwan and the UK share highly consistent policy directions on energy transition. He noted that the bilateral dialogues and the Enhanced Trade Partnership (ETP) agreement have laid a solid foundation for Taiwan&#8211;UK cooperation, and expressed hope for further deepening exchanges in the future.

Lord Faulkner congratulated Taiwan and the UK on the 20th anniversary of their cooperation in renewable energy, noting that the UK's Industrial Strategy aligns with Taiwan's 2050 Net-Zero Pathway vision.

The second session addressed financing challenges for offshore wind projects. Shen Tien-chun, a project officer of National Credit Guarantee Administration at the Export-Import Bank of ROC, shared information on Taiwan's credit guarantee mechanisms and the challenges faced by the market. Shyam Desai, Economic Director at the British Office Taipei, shared preliminary findings from a project in which the Carbon Trust worked with Taiwanese market stakeholders to identify opportunities for enhancing the financing environment. Additionally, Jack Hebb, Senior Business Origination Officer at UK Export Finance, shared the agency's experience and case studies in financing Taiwan's offshore wind projects.

The final session discussed Marine Spatial Planning and its importance for the deployment of clean energy and the conservation of biodiversity. Chloe Meacher, Head of the Marine Strategy and Spatial Prioritisation at the UK Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, shared the UK's strategy on marine spatial planning. Chen Wei-te, Director of the Metal Industries Research and Development Centre, presented on Taiwan's strategic priorities and future outlook for marine spatial planning.

At the "Taiwan&#8211;UK Renewable Energy Roundtable," keynote speeches on renewable energy development and the net-zero transition were delivered by Sandra Li, Head of Offshore and Onshore Wind at the UK Department for Business and Trade, and Liu Tzu-yar, Chief Strategy Officer of the Green Energy and Environment Research Laboratories at the Industrial Technology Research Institute. For Topic One, "Offshore Wind Port Planning and Subsea Infrastructure," presentations were given by Chung Cheng-hsien, Director of the Ship and Ocean Industries R&amp;D Center, and Sam Strivens from Carbon Trust.

For Topic Two, "Offshore Wind and Emerging Marine Energy Technologies," insights were shared by the UK's Offshore Renewable Energy Catapult (ORE Catapult), the Marine Energy Council, and Chen Wei-te, Director of the Metal Industries Research &amp; Development Centre.

For Topic Three, "Smart Grid Integration, Grid Resilience, and Energy Storage Technology," joint presentations were delivered by Ho Ping-heng, Senior Grid Technical Engineer at Taiwan Power Company, and Peter Weston from Energy Systems Catapult.

This year represents a major milestone as the Taiwan-UK renewable energy partnership celebrates its 20 years of collaboration and exchange in renewable energy. We extend our sincere gratitude to our UK partners for their steadfast support and long-standing cooperation over the past two decades.

The experiences and expertise accumulated by both sides over this 20-year partnership have further strengthened bilateral ties and reflect our shared commitment to achieving net-zero emissions by 2050.

Looking ahead, Taiwan will continue to work closely with the UK to advance the development of green energy and jointly build a sustainable, secure, and net-zero energy future.

      <description><![CDATA[To further advance cooperation between Taiwan and Poland in the field of hydrogen energy, the 2nd Taiwan-Poland Hydrogen Working Group Meeting was convened on December 16 and hosted by Poland. The meeting was co-chaired by Mr. Chung-Hsien Chen, Deputy Director General of the Energy Administration, Ministry of Economic Affairs (MOEA), Taiwan, and Mr. Dariusz Kucel, Director of the Department of Electromobility, Fuels and Hydrogen Economy at the Ministry of Energy of Poland. The meeting served as an important platform for both sides to review progress and deepen exchanges on hydrogen-related policies and technologies.

During the meeting, Taiwan and Poland exchanged views on hydrogen promotion policies, low-carbon hydrogen source certification mechanisms, the current status of green hydrogen research and development, and hydrogen refueling station demonstration projects. These discussions reflected the shared commitment of both sides to advancing hydrogen as a key solution for decarbonization across multiple sectors.

Representatives from Taiwan and Poland also explored a range of potential cooperation areas. These included the application of water electrolysis-based low-carbon hydrogen production technologies for synthetic fuel production, support for energy transition efforts in fertilizer and refining industries, fuel cell power generation applications for transportation and data center power supply, and hydrogen bus certification and related regulatory considerations. In addition, given Poland's higher demand for heat during the winter season, combined power and heat applications using fuel cells or electrolyzers were identified as promising areas for deeper bilateral cooperation.

The ongoing operation of the Working Group builds on the solid foundation established through the signing of the Memorandum of Understanding on the Establishment of the Taiwan-Poland Hydrogen Cooperation Working Group in 2023. In September 2025, Taiwan's Energy Administration led a Taiwan-Poland Hydrogen Delegation to Poland, engaging with key government institutions and visiting representative hydrogen-related organizations, including ORLEN, ZE PAK, Hydrogen Poland, and the Lower Silesian Hydrogen Valley Association. Through continued dialogue and collaboration, Taiwan and Poland have strengthened alignment in hydrogen policy, technology development, and industrial cooperation. Looking ahead, both sides will continue to leverage the Working Group as a communication platform to enhance policy coordination, integrate industrial value chains, and promote diverse hydrogen applications, jointly advancing toward a net-zero and sustainable energy future.

      <description><![CDATA[In response to the rapidly increasing electricity consumption of the AI and information and communications technology (ICT) industries and to ensure that related energy facilities adopt high-efficiency equipment, the Ministry of Economic Affairs (MOEA), pursuant to the authorization of Article 16 of the Energy Administration Act, has amended three subordinate regulations, namely the Regulations Governing the Assessment of Energy Development and Utilization, the Scope of Applied Energy Users, and the Forms of Energy Utilization Manual and Essential Particulars. Under the amendments, enterprises engaged in Information Service Activities, including hyperscale and colocation data centers, with an contracted electricity capacity no less than 5 MW, are required, at the planning stage of new construction or expansion projects, to prepare and submit Energy Utilization Manuals (EUMs) and adopt Best Available Techniques (BATs), thereby optimizing energy-saving design and improving overall energy efficiency.

As explained by the Energy Administration, under these amendments, hyperscale and colocation data centers with contracted electricity capacity no less than 5 MW must submit EUMs before plant construction and obtain approval from the competent authority. Drawing on the European Union's data center energy efficiency guidelines and based on input collected through expert consultations and stakeholder meetings, seven key items have been specifically added into EUM's check list for data center's energy efficiency, covering: selection of information equipment, configuration of information software services, data management, cooling system, power system, energy monitoring and management, and overall energy performance. At the same time, Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE) has been adopted as the efficiency indicator upon taking into account the practices of countries such as Japan, Singapore, and Germany, as well as Taiwan's industry experience, with differentiated standards for different operation types: a PUE not exceeding 1.3 for hyperscale data centers and not exceeding 1.4 for colocation data centers.

The Administration also noted that, prior to the amendments, it held multiple consultation meetings with subject-matter scholars and experts, and communicated with major data center operators, while exchanging opinions on issues most concerned by the industry, including the BATs, whether the efficiency standards are mandatory, and how on-site audits are conducted. The Energy Administration stressed that data centers are a key foundation for Taiwan's digital transformation. These amendments are expected to guide operators to select appropriate sites and incorporate energy-saving design at the planning stage, while helping reduce the burden on the power grid, improve energy efficiency, support industrial decarbonization, and enhance overall competitiveness.

      <description><![CDATA[To strengthen energy security and system resilience, the Global Cooperation and Training Framework (GCTF) Joint Committee, comprising Taiwan's Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the American Institute in Taiwan, the Japan-Taiwan Exchange Association, the Australian Office, and the Canadian Trade Office in Taipei, together with the Energy Administration under the Ministry of Economic Affairs, co organized the 2025 GCTF International Workshop on Building a Resilient Energy Future from November 12 to 14, 2025, at the Grand Victoria Hotel in Taipei. The event brought together around 110 government officials, scholars, and industry representatives from 20 countries to share cross-border experiences and engage in policy dialogue. On November 12, the British Office Taipei also announced its accession as the sixth official GCTF partner.

In his opening remarks, Minister of Economic Affairs Ming-Hsin Kung emphasized that, in the face of global climate change, supply chain disruptions, and geopolitical challenges, countries must balance a stable energy supply with carbon reduction responsibilities during the energy transition. Taiwan, while promoting diversified green energy development and deep energy conservation, is also proactively strengthening smart grids, energy storage systems, and distributed energy infrastructure to ensure energy security and resilience. Minister Kung pointed out that GCTF serves as an important platform for Taiwan and its like-minded partners to foster global exchanges and capacity building. He expressed hope that the workshop would enable Taiwan to share its experiences with more partner countries, deepen cooperation, and drive energy transition across the Asia-Pacific region. 

The three-day workshop features six panel discussions covering energy transition and resilience, renewable energy development, circular economy, energy efficiency, grid resilience, and critical minerals. International speakers shared successful case studies, including the use of AI technologies to improve energy efficiency, the development of microgrids to support post-disaster recovery, and innovative recycling of solar panels and battery materials to implement circular economy practices. Following the workshop, international participants visited Taipower's Tatan Power Plant and CPC's Third LNG Receiving Terminal to gain firsthand insights into Taiwan's concrete achievements in ensuring a stable power supply and enhancing energy resilience. 

The Ministry of Economic Affairs stated that the workshop demonstrates Taiwan's contribution and growing international influence in strengthening regional energy stability, while also showcasing the long-term achievements of GCTF partner cooperation. Looking ahead, Taiwan will continue to deepen strategic collaboration with the United States, Japan, Australia, Canada, and the United Kingdom, while expanding policy and technical exchanges with more countries. Together, these efforts aim to build a cross-national, cross-sector energy cooperation network to create a more inclusive and resilient future for global energy supply.

At the opening ceremony of the pavilion, Kuo Chao-Chung, the Director General of DoIT, pointed out that the turnover of Taiwan's biomedicine industry reached NT$775.4 billion in 2024, with the medical device industry contributing NT$210 billion. The sales of digital medical devices have an annual growth rate of over 10%. In other words, technology has been integrated into healthcare, and Taiwan has incorporated sensing technology and artificial intelligence into medical devices, enabling the ICT and biomedicine industries to continue expanding. DoIT also puts together corporate R&D capabilities and industrial resources to ensure that medical technology moves from the laboratory to clinical application and mass production to demonstrate Taiwan's strengths in linking and application of smart medical technologies.

This year's pavilion features a one-stop supply chain for the "Optically Pumped Magnetoencephalography Diagnostic and Multi-channel Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (rTMS) System," a system developed in Taiwan with great potential for export and OEM. This system integrates a highly sensitive optical magnetic sensing chip and AI algorithms to help doctors assess brain function in real-time, shortening treatment time by approximately 30%. It can be used to support the treatment of neurological and psychiatric disorders such as depression and obsessive-compulsive disorder. The technology has won the Gold Award at the 2025 Edison Awards, a prestigious award recognized as a global indicator of technological innovation. At the same time, the pavilion also showcases the world's first "Wearable digital diary and motion guide for Parkinsonism," which improves "frozen gait" through leg electrical stimulation, helping Parkinson's patients regain their ability to walk. The next-generation sterilization and purification technologies, "Low-temperature plasma sterilization technology, NO2 gas sterilization technology, and tangential flow filtration (TFF) technology, can effectively replace traditional high-temperature or EO sterilization methods with higher toxicity risks.

Apart from the highlights, the pavilion showcases a total of 15 exhibits, including a solution for sleep apnea, a surface imaging device for real-time mapping of cardiovascular and lymphatic circulation, an intranasal optical coherence tomography system, and innovative applications of a self-amplifying mRNA technology platform for infectious diseases. These showcase DoIT's R&D capabilities from diagnosis and treatment to total care, making DoIT a smart partner for medical applications and guardian of the health of Taiwanese people.

      <title><![CDATA[MOEA Takes Home 7 Awards at R&D100 18 Years, 100+ Awards: Taiwan's R&D Prowess Shines on Global Stage]]></title>
      <link>https://www.moea.gov.tw/MNS/english/news/News.aspx?kind=6&amp;menu_id=176&amp;news_id=121177</link>
      <description><![CDATA[Taiwan's Ministry of Economic Affairs (MOEA) announced today (21st) that six technologies it funded have won seven awards at the 2025 R&D 100 Awards, often hailed as the "Oscars of Innovation." The award-winning technologies include three from the Industrial Technology Research Institute (ITRI), one from the Taiwan Textile Research Institute (TTRI), one from the Metal Industries Research & Development Centre (MIRDC) (which also received a Special Recognition award), and one from the Institute for Information Industry (III). The winning technologies span key fields including AI, biomedical and healthcare, and green technology. Standing alongside world-renowned institutions, Taiwan's robust innovation and R&D capabilities are once again showcased on  the international stage.

MOEA notes that innovative R&D is a key catalyst for propelling the consistent development of Taiwan's industries. MOEA has been supporting the R&D of various technologies over the long term. By focusing on facilitating the commercialization of technological achievements into practical applications, MOEA aims to spearhead the transformation and upgrading of Taiwanese companies and enhance their competitiveness. MOEA-supported researches have won at the R&D 100 Awards for 18 consecutive years, accumulating a total of 103 awards. Among these award-winning technologies, 90% have been transferred to companies or led to the establishment of startups. Of this year's winning technologies, five are already in collaboration with industry partners, serving as a driving force for value innovation in Taiwan's AI, biomedical, and other key industries. 

In line with these sustained efforts, the biomedical and healthcare field features two standout awardees. ITRI's Bio-Inspired Ligament Scaffold (BILS) is a bioengineered ligament designed to accelerate healing in anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction and other orthopedic repairs. Its porous bionic textile structure and biocomposite materials enhance soft-hard tissue integration and bone regeneration. Compared to conventional PET-based ligaments, it delivers three times higher breaking strength, superior bone integration, and 30% faster functional recovery, offering an innovative and durable solution for sports medicine and the aging population. This innovation was developed in cooperation with Shinkong Synthetic Fibers, OssAware Biotech, and the Taiwan Textile Research Institute. The "AI-Guided Interactive Speech-Language Therapy System" developed by MIRDC leverages generative AI to understand children's semantics in real-time, dynamically generating imitative and expansive feedback to guide them toward correct expression. This system enables intensive home-based training, pioneering a new future for AI-assisted speech-language therapy.

In the AI field, ITRI's AI-WaJe(Trademark) system represents a breakthrough in sustainable tire recycling, addressing the global challenge of end-of-life tires through an AI-optimized, non-thermal water jet process that transforms waste tires into high-activity rubber powder. Unlike conventional mechanical or pyrolytic methods, AI-WaJe(Trademark) leverages molecular-level thermal to kinetic energy conversion to selectively break down excessively cross-linked rubber molecules, thereby restoring their reactivity and enabling reuse in high-performance applications. It can process a large truck tire in just six minutes and produces rubber powder with a verified relative activity of up to 79%, enabling direct reintegration into new tire formulations and other premium polymer products. This technology has also driven the creation of the spinoff Taiwan Polymer Material Company, accelerating industrial adoption of green tire recycling.

In the green technology sector, TTRI has developed the "Looping Nylon Technique: no virgin material from recycled fiber to recycle membranes." Utilizing patented ultrasonic cleaning technology, the process achieves 98% cleanliness while reducing water consumption by 90%. The entire manufacturing process is solvent-free and has reduced carbon emissions by over 70%, enabling the upcycling of discarded fishing nets into high-value medical materials. The membrane can be used in smart medical mattresses, lifeboats, and outdoor functional products, opening up new opportunities for green manufacturing in Taiwan's medical industry. Winning the 2025 R&D 100 Awards highlights Taiwan's strength and collaboration potential in application-oriented research and development. MOEA will continue to work with Taiwan's industries and international enterprises to drive technology validation, cross-border collaboration, and applications in diverse scenarios.

      <description><![CDATA[Taipower wins the "corporate sustainability Oscars" yet again! The Taiwan Corporate Sustainability Awards (TCSAs) were awarded today (November 26). Taipower was head and shoulders above a pack of more than 700 companies, winning the high honor of a corporate sustainability award for the 7th time. Taipower also took a Best Sustainability Practice Award, a Talent Development Leadership Award, and a Creative Communication Leadership Award, winning a total of 4 awards. A Taipower spokesperson stated that, as the driving force behind Taiwan's civil economy and industrial development, Taipower will continue to uphold the principles of ESG operations while giving equal care to a stable power supply and environmentally-sustainable development.

The award ceremony for the 2025's TCSAs, the 18th iteration of the awards, was held today at the Grand Hotel Taipei. Vice President and Chief Sustainability Officer Tsai Chih-Meng represented Taipower at the ceremony, accepting the awards from Ministry of Labor Deputy Minister Huang Lin-Na. This year's awards marked the 17th time that Taipower has won affirmation in the form of a sustainability report award.

A Taipower spokesperson stated that winning this year's Best Sustainability Practice Award and the Corporate Sustainability Report Platinum Award for the seventh time helps bring attention to Taipower's eye-catching performance in environmental sustainability, social co-prosperity, and corporate governance. The 5-Part Vision for Sustainable Development disclosed in the report lays out Ten Strategic Pathways and sets action plans for each, earnestly responding to the both the UN's and Taiwan's sustainable development goals.

The spokesperson pointed out that in this year's Workplace Wellbeing Leadership Awards, Taipower also took home a Talent Development Leadership Award and a Creative Communication Leadership Award. Credit for the affirmation of the Talent Development Leadership Award goes to the technical know-how transferal between generations of expert power industry employees. In addition to seeking new recruits through a variety of channels, Taipower also invests strongly in talent training. Taipower puts great emphasis on expertise, safety, and onsite response abilities. Taipower has also held skills competitions for more than half a century now, which continually refine employees' core abilities while extending generational experience. This helps create the power industry elites needed to take on the mission of providing a stable supply of power.

The spokesperson further explained that the Creative Communication Leadership Award is an affirmation of Taipower's continued work to promote power industry culture. Since 2016, Taipower has been investing in electrical industry cultural heritage preservation, combining cultural object inventories, collections, research, publishing, displaying, interchanges, and more. Nearly 2000 important cultural objects have been stored in the Taipower Collection Center, and a digital companion in the form of the Electrical Industry Cultural Object Online Collection has also been opened to share with society at large. This highlights how Taipower is promoting the concepts of corporate concern for the humanities and cultural sustainability.

      <link>https://www.moea.gov.tw/MNS/english/news/News.aspx?kind=6&amp;menu_id=176&amp;news_id=121178</link>
      <description><![CDATA[The Taiwan Textile Research Institute (TTRI) has developed the Looping Nylon Technique, a recycled nylon membrane technology that converts discarded fishing nets into high-value, medical-grade nylon membranes. This breakthrough innovation earned recognition in the 2025 R&D 100 Awards in the Mechanical/Materials category, addressing long-standing global challenges in processing and upgrading marine waste. It establishes the world's first mono-material membrane system capable of up to 20 recycling cycles, reinforcing Taiwan's leadership in sustainable materials and circular-economy development for high-performance applications.

Taiwan generates approximately 2,300 tons of discarded fishing nets every year. These nets are extremely difficult to recycle due to heavy contamination from sand, algae, biofouling, oil residues, and mixed-material components that hinder decomposition and reprocessing. To solve this problem, TTRI developed a patented ultrasonic cleaning technology, which uses high-frequency vibration together with a specialized cleaning formulation to remove deep-embedded contaminants from nylon fibers. This process restores the recyclability of the material, achieving 98% purity, reducing water consumption by 90%, and enabling the cleaned fibers to meet the requirements for further melt processing. Through chain extension and polyether modification, the regenerated nylon gains enhanced elasticity, moisture permeability, and stable physical performance. It can be processed into high-density membranes as thin as 10 micrometers, providing waterproofness, abrasion resistance, and inherent antimicrobial behavior derived from its dense polymer structure.

To fulfill medical-grade requirements, TTRI collaborated with Carilex Medical to develop a dual-layer co-extrusion process. Using recycled nylon as the surface layer and a low-melting-point nylon as the bonding layer, the membrane and fabric are thermally laminated in a single extrusion step, completely replacing PUR adhesives. This makes the entire production solvent-free, reduces carbon emissions by more than 70%, and maintains a single-material structure that enables straightforward mechanical recycling after use. The resulting composite exhibits excellent airtightness, softness, durability, and long-term stability, meeting the demanding performance needs of smart medical air-pressure mattresses. It also demonstrates strong potential for inflatable rescue boats, aerospace components, military equipment, and high-end outdoor functional products that require reliability and safety under rigorous conditions.

This breakthrough innovation has already been adopted by several Taiwanese companies, including Carilex Medical, Wild Bear Tech, and Charn Tai Machinery, accelerating the development of sustainable manufacturing in the medical and protective-equipment industries. With recycled nylon generating only 0.599 kg Carbon dioxide per kilogram, compared with 7.44 kg Carbon dioxide per kilogram for virgin nylon, the Looping Nylon Technique provides a powerful, scalable solution that helps industries meet global sustainability goals, including increasing recycled-material content by 2030. This achievement enhances Taiwan's international visibility, strengthens its competitiveness in advanced textile technologies, and establishes a pathway for high-value circular materials to enter global supply chains.

      <description><![CDATA[With long-term support from the Department of Industrial Technology (DoIT) of the Ministry of Economic Affairs, the "VisionSafe" has demonstrated the government's commitment and foresight in advancing industrial upgrading and transformation-from core technology development to real-world deployment and validation. In Taiwan's complex traffic environment, where large commercial vehicles share the road with motorcycles, scooters, and pedestrians, safety risks have grown increasingly severe. The system was developed precisely to address these challenges, aiming to significantly reduce accidents caused by factors such as blind spots, inner-tire blind spots, adverse weather conditions, and driver fatigue or distraction, etc.

The award-winning system integrates five key technological innovations, using AI and advanced sensing technologies to comprehensively address the inherent limitations of human drivers. Equipped with an AI-powered thermal imaging all-weather sensing module, the system can accurately detect pedestrians and obstacles with up to 96% accuracy-even in low light, glare, heavy rain, or fog-effectively eliminating visual blind spots. In addition, its AI full-posture driver behavior monitoring function surpasses traditional Driver Monitoring Systems (DMS), which typically focus only on the face and eyes. By leveraging existing in-cab surveillance equipment in large commercial vehicles and detecting full-body movements through side-view cameras, the system can precisely identify 10 high-risk behaviors, such as using a mobile phone, failing to hold the steering wheel, or bending down to pick up objects, significantly reducing accidents caused by driver distraction.

To address the critical issue of inner-tire blind spot, the most dangerous challenge for large commercial vehicles, the VisionSafe incorporates AI-powered inner-tire blind spot alerts and automatic emergency braking, enabling rapid detection of potential hazards and issuing warnings within just 0.1 seconds. The system also features an eye-tracking AR-HUD display, projecting key navigation and safety alerts directly into the driver's line of sight through augmented reality. By dynamically adjusting the display based on the driver's gaze, it significantly reduces the need for head movement, enhancing driving focus and safety.

Notably, the system's modular, plug-and-play architecture offers high compatibility and lightweight deployment, allowing seamless integration into existing fleets while minimizing upgrade costs and installation time for transportation operators. The system has already been adopted in collaboration with industry partners-including chipmaker Kneron and system equipment providers-and has been deployed in public bus fleets for real-world validation. By assisting operators in enhancing road safety, the system is expected to reduce traffic incidents in Taiwan and enhance safety for all road users.

      <description><![CDATA[This year, the Taiwan Creative Content Agency (TAICCA) organized the first-ever ESG for Culture Impact Awards. Taipower's long-term investment in electrical industry cultural preservation and promotion of electrical industry culture both won affirmation at the awards. Today (November 21), Taipower won the dual honors of a Long-Term Partnership award and a Resource Assistance award. Taipower continues to uphold its mission of providing a stable supply of power, while also investing in arts and cultural events, cultural heritage conservation, and more. Through the deep connotations of electrical industry culture, Taipower aims to help promote the development of Taiwan's cultural content industries.

The ceremony for the ESG for Culture Impact Awards was held concurrently with the ceremony for the 17th Arts & Business Awards, at Taipei's Songshan Cultural and Creative Park. On behalf of Taipower, Vice President Tsai Chih-Meng accepted the awards presented by TAICCA CEO Erica Wang. Taipower has previously won the Ministry of Culture Arts & Business Awards four years running. This year, those awards were divided into individual and group categories. The ESG for Culture Impact Awards, established by TAICCA, are presented to corporations that collaborate on cultural content creators and build ESG impacts. Its first time participating, Taipower has already won affirmation for the Charging Up Culture: Electrical Industry Cultural Heritage Conservation Project. 

A Taipower spokesperson pointed out that the electrical industry has been developing for a century in Taiwan. The electrical facilities spread across Taiwan not only support the country's economic vitality, but are themselves evidence of Taiwan's economic and social development. In 2016, Taipower initiated the Electrical Industry Cultural Heritage Conservation Project. This combines cultural object inventories, collections, research, publishing, displaying, interchanges, and more. Nearly 2000 important cultural objects have been stored in the Taipower Collection Center. The Center has also opened a digital companion in the form of the Electrical Industry Cultural Object Online Collection, to share with society at large. This highlights how Taipower is promoting the concepts of corporate concern for the humanities and cultural sustainability.

In recent years, Taipower has been working hard to promote broader social participation, aimed at making cultural heritage preservation less about static collections and more aimed at dynamic management. From 2024 to 2025, Taipower has continued to organize Power Industry Cultural Walks by the Xindian and Zhuoshui rivers. These events guide members of the public to a deeper understanding of how electrical facilities are linked to local development. The events also combine local innovative industry and sustainable travel. Taipower is simultaneously promoting oral history, with more than 65 retired electrical industry workers invited to do interviews. These oral histories record the career experiences and life stories of front-line electrical industry tradespeople, helping to preserve Taiwan's intangible memories and the history of the electrical industry.  

The spokesperson further noted that, through ongoing collaboration with cultural content producers, Taipower has in 2025 initiated an electrical industry culture picture book publishing project. An illustrator and author have been invited to learn deeply about Mingtan and Takuan power plants. They have combed through the developmental history of the electrical industry, and then been guided by experts to understand the principles of power generation, and generation unit operations and overhaul processes.  The picture book Powe-Ring the Island: A Taiwanese Hydropower Journey through Time and Space (placeholder name), is set to be published in 2026. The book will use words and pictures to help more people see the expertise and beauty of electrical power in Taiwan, and will demonstrate the spirit of multidisciplinary collaboration in cultural content creation. 

The spokesperson noted that 2026 will mark the company's 80th anniversary. In the future, Taipower will continue to work together with cultural content creators and local cultural organizations, using cultural heritage as a medium for conveying the deep connections between electricity, locality, and society. Through the Collection Center, oral history recordings, culture walks, publishing, and the Electrical Industry Cultural Object Online Collection, Taipower will continue to use diverse methods to bring energy knowledge, electrical industry culture, and the spirit of corporate sustainability to the public at large.

      <description><![CDATA[In response to recent public attention on energy transition issues, the Ministry of Economic Affairs (MOEA) stated that Taiwan launched the Second Energy Transition Policy in 2024. Through strategies such as "replacing coal with natural gas, promoting diversified green energy, introducing energy storage, and strengthening power grid resilience and deep energy saving," the government aims to ensure a stable power supply while reducing carbon emissions and air pollution. The MOEA will continue to advance energy transition steadily through ongoing public communication.

The MOEA noted that Taiwan's energy policy is consistent with international trends, continuously reducing dependence on coal and developing renewable energy. In 2024, coal-fired power generation accounted for 39%, lower than natural gas at 42%, while renewable energy reached 12%. Going forward, natural gas will serve as a bridging energy to replace high-carbon coal-fired power generation. The transition will be driven by diverse green energy and deep energy saving, supplemented by technological energy storage and enhanced grid resilience, progressing toward the 2030 power mix target of "50% natural gas, 30% renewable energy, and 20% coal."

The MOEA emphasized that developing renewable energy is not only an international trend, but also a key factor in enhancing industrial competitiveness worldwide. During COP28, the European Union and the United States launched a joint initiative to triple global renewable energy capacity by 2030, to which 133 countries have responded, showing that renewable energy has become the mainstream of global net-zero transition. In addition, regarding advanced nuclear technologies such as Small Modular Reactors (SMRs), the government will continue to monitor international developments. If technologies become safer, nuclear waste issues are resolved, and a broad domestic consensus is reached, the government will not exclude any options that contribute to achieving the net-zero emissions goal.

While promoting the energy transition, the MOEA stressed that stable power supply remains at the core of policy implementation. In 2022, Taiwan Power Company (Taipower) launched a 10-year, NT$564.5 billion "Construction Plan for Enhancing Power Grid Resilience," focusing on three major pillars: promoting distributed power grid projects, enhancing and fortifying power grid engineering, and enhancing system defense capabilities. The plan promotes the upgrade of the existing grid system and the reinforcement of the extra-high voltage grid to gradually achieve grid decentralization, improve equipment stability, and enhance the national grid's capability to respond to unexpected incidents. In addition, Taipower is also implementing a Distribution System Upgrade Plan, continuously replacing substation and distribution line equipment and strengthening system resilience. Following these comprehensive improvements, nationwide power outage incidents have significantly decreased in recent years. In 2024, the number of distribution-related outage incidents dropped by more than 13,000 compared with 2012, a 65% reduction, demonstrating substantial progress in power supply stability.

The MOEA noted that, in response to the increasing share of natural gas in the future power mix, the government has established natural gas safety stock requirement, planning to gradually increase the current 11-day reserve to more than 14 days by 2027. Meanwhile, import stability will be ensured through diversified supply sources and medium-and-long-term contracts. Together with the development of renewable energy and energy storage, these measures aim to enhance system resilience and flexibility under extreme weather or unexpected events, thereby reducing energy supply risks.

Developing the green energy industry is a key foundation of Taiwan's path toward net-zero emissions. In response to recent illegal interference in the industry, the MOEA and the Ministry of Justice has jointly established the "Liaison Platform for Combating Crimes against Green Energy Industry Development." The platform has been operating effectively, all sectors are encouraged to report any relevant information immediately to facilitate investigation, so to jointly safeguard a healthy development environment for the green energy industry. Looking ahead, the government will continue to promote "stable power supply, carbon and pollution reduction, and energy security," and work closely with all sectors of society to build a safe, sustainable, and resilient energy future.

      <link>https://www.moea.gov.tw/MNS/english/news/News.aspx?kind=6&amp;menu_id=176&amp;news_id=121384</link>
      <description><![CDATA[Illegal actors have in recent days been impersonating Taipower by sending out emails that say things like "statement error, refund notice, apply for refund immediately". By talking about calculation errors and refund applications, these scammers have tricked innocent people into clicking on phishing (scam) web-links and then stolen their money. Taipower reminds you that these kinds of emails often use a new type of scam where the entire email is an image. By displaying what appears to be a Taipower URL (web address) in the image, members of the public are tricked into following what is actually a malicious link to a fraudulent website. From there, scammers can trick you into providing your personal data. Taipower reminds you to be on high alert so that you don't get scammed.  
 
A Taipower spokesperson stated that there are only two ways in which overpaid bills can only be refunded: Transfer as a discount to the next period's bill, or a refund in person at a service counter. Any email or text message telling you to apply for a refund through other methods is a scam.
The spokesperson pointed out that emails sent out by Taipower related to electrical bills will not attach URLs, nor will they ask you to provide your identification number, credit card number, or other such personal data. If you find that an email you receive has a URL in it, it is a phishing email. 
The spokesperson further pointed out that you can also tell that an email is a scam by checking for errors in the sender's email address, and misspelled/suspicious URLs. If the email obscures your Taipower customer number, obscures the sender's email address, or has a zip file attachment, then it's a phishing scam email. Do not click on any link you're not sure about.

Taipower reminds you that if you encounter any suspicious emails, texts, or phone calls, you should call Taipower's 24-hour 1911 customer service line or the Criminal Investigation Bureau's 165 Anti-fraud Hotline to ask questions. Let's all work together to fight scams and keep our pocketbooks safe!

      <description><![CDATA[As 5G technologies continue evolving dynamically, Open Radio Access Network (Open RAN) has moved from early-stage development into a more mature phase, fostering a more innovative and diversified telecommunications ecosystem and laying an essential foundation for the future development of next-generation communications such as 6G. To strengthen collaboration between Taiwan and international communications communities, the Industrial Development Administration (IDA), Ministry of Economic Affairs (MOEA) held the "2025 5G Summit" on October 20 in Taipei, marking the third consecutive year of this flagship forum of international communications communities.

The event invited 16 stakeholders, including international telecom operators, system integrators, software vendors, and testing labs from eight countries, such as the United States, the United Kingdom, Germany, Japan, Singapore, Vietnam, Mongolia, and Indonesia. Key participants included Verizon, the second-largest U.S. telecom operator, Rakuten Mobile of Japan, the OREX SAI led by NTT DOCOMO, Viettel High Tech of Vietnam and Mobicom of Mongolia. Together with 37 Taiwanese network and communications companies, participants exchanged insights on AI-enabled network automation, Open RAN deployment, and global cooperation in next-generation communications.

In his opening remarks, Director-General Chiou Chyou-Huey of IDA highlighted that Taiwan's strengths in semiconductors and ICT have made it a trusted and resilient partner in the global supply chain. The Taiwanese government has collaborated with the Telecom Infra Project (TIP) to establish a TIP-certified Open Network Laboratory in Taiwan. The lab provides an interoperable testing environment aligned with international standards and helps domestic vendors develop globally compatible Open RAN solutions. It also works closely with government-backed laboratories in the United States, the United Kingdom, and Germany to strengthen joint testing and certification efforts. To date, nine Taiwanese companies have earned TIP certifications for Open RAN solutions that meet international interoperability requirements. In recent years, the government and industry have jointly advanced 137 projects across multiple sectors, focusing on developing and validating value-added applications for commercial deployment. Approximately half of these projects involve AI-enabled smart manufacturing, showcasing Taiwan's ability to integrate 5G and AI innovations.

Taiwan's ICT industry continues to deepen its role in international telecom infrastructure cooperation. UfiSpace's 400G Open Transport Router has become a key component for major telecom operators in the United States and Europe. The company is also collaborating with NTT DATA to develop AI-driven open optical transmission technologies that support future 6G networks. Meanwhile, MTI received funding through the Wireless Innovation Fund (NOFO 2), administered by the National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) of the U.S. Department of Commerce, to develop and commercialize O-RU integration technology in collaboration with global partners. These achievements underscore international recognition of Taiwan's technological innovation and its steady growing contributions to next-generation communications.

During the forum, international delegates visited the Asia New Bay Area 5G AIoT Demonstration Site in Kaohsiung, organized by the Industrial Development Administration (IDA), MOEA. Delegates will witness 5G applications in smart port operations and offshore fisheries, including a vessel-based 5G private network integrated with drones and AI vision systems that assist in oceanic resource mapping. The delegation also visited several Taiwanese companies, such as LITE-ON and Ataya, which specialize in Open RAN and AI-based network automation solutions, gaining deeper insights into Taiwan's technological strengths and innovative applications.

The Open RAN approach, characterized by open interfaces and diversified supply chains, has become a key driver of innovation in global telecommunications. The 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) and the O-RAN Alliance have initiated discussions on the division of responsibilities in 6G standardization, with Open RAN expected to remain a central focus in future 6G development. Looking ahead, the MOEA will continue to work closely with Taiwan and international communications stakeholders to advance next-generation communications technologies, while deepening and broadening collaboration with the global ecosystem to promote a diverse, reliable, and secure global supply chain.
