Installation of Renewable Energy Systems to stabilize power supply in the park

1. Installation of roof-type renewable energy system

STSP Bureau has actively installed solar panels in the science park (on the roofs of NNKIEH, Administration Building of the Bureau, Police Building, STSP Commercial Center, flood control pumping station, wastewater treatment plant, Resource Recycling Center, and standard factories in the science park). Statistics are in the figure below. In 2023, the solar panels installed in the science park generate 13.72 MW of electricity, with the cumulative power generation of 77.39 MW, reducing 48,941 tons of CO2e/year. The capacity of renewable power generation and carbon reduction increase year by year to achieve the effect of environmental protection.

2. Strengthen the power network

STSP Bureau continues to work closely with Taiwan Power Company. Currently, the expansion of the ultra-high voltage substation is ongoing to meet the overall power supply needs in the science park. In 2023, due to the expansion of factories, the power consumption increased.

When a power incident (such as voltage drop and power outage) that affects the power supply for park manufacturers, the Bureau will immediately coordinate with Taiwan Power Company to find out the cause and restore it as soon as possible. In addition, through the mechanism to understand the impacted status of the park manufacturers and the power quality improvement meetings convened by the Bureau with park association, Taiwan Power Company and park manufacturers, the cause of the incident will be discussed for improvement measures to reduce the impact of power supply incidents.

3. Electricity Consumption of the Bureau

Through active response to and promotion of energy saving and carbon reduction policies, the Bureau effectively implements sustainable management through joint efforts through education and has integrated green management into daily operation. The target of electricity consumption management at STSP Bureau is to consume less electricity compared with the previous year; the electricity consumption in 2023 reduced by 4.46% compared with 2022, and STSP will continue to strengthen power management and implementation of energy conservation measures.

After years of the Bureau's restless efforts in energy conservation and carbon reduction, the effectiveness of energy conservation achieved continues to accumulate. We spare no efforts to protect the environment, continue to ask our staff to abide by the energy and water saving measures and plan long-term and feasible measures. While operating the science park, the Bureau also strengthens counseling and inspections of air, wastewater discharge and waste disposal of the park manufacturers to ensure the compliance with environmental laws and regulations, aiming at stepping toward a low-carbon science park.
