Corporate Cultural Inputs and Public Welfare
The power industry has played a key role in driving domestic industrial and economic development. Taipower has not only provided Taiwan with a continuous supply of energy but has also contributed to the creation of tangible historical sites and intangible collective memories. In response to evolving societal development and growing awareness of cultural preservation, Taipower has transitioned from a purely development-oriented model to one that incorporates cultural conservation and creative thinking. The Company actively promotes the humanities and public welfare, using culture as a bridge to engage with the public and shape its image as a civicly-minded enterprise.
Cultural Heritage and Social Communication
Guided by heritage responsibility and sustainable management, Taipower has inventoried non-building cultural assets since 2016 under its Cultural Heritage Preservation Task Force. Led by the VP of Strategy, the company follows a "research, display, and identity-building" strategy. Key initiatives include archival research, oral history interviews, power-themed walking tours, and digital asset archives to promote resource sharing and public engagement.

The exhibition hall also received the Silver Award of the MUSE Awards for Media and Technology from the American Alliance of Museums for its VR Hydropower Plant Green Energy Flight Experience, and was recognized in the Best Popular Brand category at the 22nd National Brand Yushan Awards.
Taipower's Public Welfare and Sponsorship Commitment
Taipower supports Taiwan's economic development while promoting mutual prosperity within society by actively investing in cultural, artistic, and public welfare initiatives as part of its corporate social responsibility. As power infrastructure may affect local environments, Taipower fosters strong community relations through neighborhood engagement efforts. These include emergency relief, support for low-income households, welfare for the elderly and persons with disabilities, and educational and cultural programs. In 2025, Taipower handled approximately 4,300 community relations cases, with subsidies and donations totaling around NT$100 million.
Holding a Lamp to Reflect Within Event
Since 2023, Taipower has organized the "Holding a Lamp to Reflect Within" prayer event, using ceremonial lamps upcycled from retired grid materials to link local culture, government, and academia; in 2025, Taipower’s President joined over 300 stakeholders at Zhinan Temple to promote energy transition and grid stability.
Seeds of Hope, Cultivating Hope Program
Operating since 2005, Taipower’s "Seeds of Hope" program offers summer employment to economically disadvantaged Indigenous college students in Eastern and Southern Taiwan; in 2025, it supported 55 university students and reached 250 local children, helping reduce tuition burdens and foster youth empowerment.
