Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD)
Global climate change challenges are increasingly severe, and Taipower has long paid close attention to the changes and challenges brought by climate change, actively taking measures in response. In 2022, Taipower voluntarily adopted the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) framework. Senior leadership collectively evaluated the issues in the context of overall corporate strategy and operational realities, promoting the climate change risk and opportunity management process and response actions to strengthen climate resilience, and disclosing the four core elements of TCFD as follows:

Climate Change Management Framework
In 2024, Taipower deepened its identification of climate-related risks and opportunities by holding a "High-Level Climate Change Risk and Opportunity Identification Workshop." To ensure the scientific rigor and reliability of the analysis, the Company referred to the International Energy Agency (IEA)'s World Energy Outlook and the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC)'s Sixth Assessment Report (IPCC AR6). Considering the diverse scenarios, including Taipower's operating characteristics, the workshop involved the Chairman, President, and senior executives from the four major business divisions, four corporate systems, and the Research Institute. This group comprehensively assessed the potential short-, medium-, and long-term impacts of climate change on the Company's operations, identifying risks and opportunities from a macro perspective and establishing corresponding response strategies.
01
Identification of climate-related risks and opportunities.
02
Analyze potential impacts of climate-related risks and opportunities.
03
Formulate strategies to address identified risks and leverage opportunities.
04
Establish KPIs and targets; regularly track performance and progress.
Risk Assessment and Identification
In 2024, Taipower identified 13 risk events. For each identified risk, the Company defined scenario-based control measures and began conducting rolling reviews to evaluate performance and track changes. This strengthens both proactive prevention and reactive response capabilities. Through systematic risk management, Taipower analyzes interconnections between risks and sustainability issues, enhances organizational risk awareness, identifies emerging opportunities, and advances toward its long-term sustainability goals.

Climate Risks and Opportunities Analysis
Through its detailed "High-Level Workshop" discussions,6 categories of physical risks,6 categories of transitional risks, and 9 categories of opportunities were identified. These were subsequently analyzed based on the likelihood of occurrence and the severity of their impacts, and then prioritized. Taking into consideration the Company's business development strategy, its core mission of ensuring a stable power supply, and the direction of the national energy policy—as well as factors to ensure effective resource allocation and maximize management efficiency—a final set of 5 key physical risks,3key transitional risks,and 3 key opportunities was selected as Taipower's priority focus areas.
Identification, Analysis, and Assessment of Climate Change Risks and Opportunities
Metrics and Targets
To measure performance and track progress in climate change management,Taipower has established corresponding indicators and targets in line with the seven major categories of metrics recommended by the TCFD.In addition,Taipower systematically inventories and monitors its greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions,strengthens the management of its total carbon emissions,mitigates climate risks,and supports its low-carbon transition goals.
| Metrics Category | Metric | 2024 Results / Future Target |
| Greenhouse Gas Emissions | Disclosure of Scope 1 and Scope 2 Emissions | Scope1 (Direct emissions):91.45 million tCO2e Scope2 (Energy indirect emissions):2.27 million tCO2e |
| Net GHG Emission Intensity of Thermal Power Units | 11.7% reduction compared to 2016; target of 20% reduction by 2030 | |
| Physical Risks | SAIDI (System Average Interruption Duration Index) | 15.831 minutes per household per year in 2024; the 2030 target is 15.5minutes. |
| SAIFI (System Average Interruption Frequency Index) | 0.209 outages per household per year | |
| Distribution Feeder Automation | 9,784 feeders completed | |
