Supplier Management
To ensure power supply security and procurement quality, Taipower categorizes its suppliers by type into fuel suppliers, material and equipment suppliers, and electricity suppliers. Corresponding management mechanisms are established based on different supply characteristics to maintain the safe and stable operation of the power system.
Fuel Supplier Management
The main fuels used by Taipower include natural gas, coal, fuel oil, and nuclear fuel. To ensure a stable fuel supply and maintain flexibility in power dispatching, Taipower manages its fuel supply through mechanisms such as diversifying supply sources, signing long-term contracts, maintaining secure inventories, and managing transportation.
Materials and Equipment Supplier Management
Materials Supply Chain
Taipower has established a comprehensive materials supply chain management mechanism, covering material coding, supplier reviews, qualified supplier management, requisitions and procurements, acceptance, and logisticals operations. Taipower also continues to advance the digital transformation of its supply chain.
The Company has implemented systems such as ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning), SCM (Supply Chain Management), SPAS (Smart Procurement Assistant System), WMS (Warehouse Management System), and MTMS (Quality Traceability Management System).
Engineering and Equipment Procurement Chain
Through standardized review procedures, contract reviews, contract fulfillment management, and construction quality supervision, Taipower ensures that projects are completed on schedule and at the required quality. In response to recent geopolitical developments and supply risks in the heavy electrical equipment market, Taipower also initiates procurements in advance and communicates on delivery schedules with suppliers to reduce the risk of supply delays.
Electricity Suppliers
As of the end of 2025, Taipower had signed power purchase agreements with 9 IPPs, 48 cogeneration providers, and 70,101 renewable energy installations, including solar, wind, hydropower, and others. Total power purchased from external sources in 2025 reached 84.4 billion kWh.
Creating a Sustainable Supply Chain
Supply Chain Management Mechanisms
All Taipower procurement complies with the Government Procurement Act, incorporating human rights, environmental, occupational safety, and labor standards into supplier requirements to ensure quality, power safety, and efficiency.
Using a QCDS framework aligned with ISO 9001, Taipower integrates evaluations, inspections, and defect feedback to guarantee stable equipment quality. To strengthen supply chain resilience, the Company drives digital collaboration and financing via its SCM platform, while using ESG reviews introduced since 2023 to advance sustainable management.
Supplier ESG Review
Building on its QCDS framework, Taipower has integrated sustainability to establish a QCDSS system. The Company introduced a Code of Conduct for Material Suppliers and a Sustainability Commitment Letter, requiring compliance with environmental, safety, and human rights standards.
Through ESG risk identification, action assessment, and implementation tracking, Taipower works with suppliers to drive carbon reduction, waste reduction, and better labor conditions, thereby enhancing supply chain resilience.
