An important milestone in Taiwan's green energy development, Taipower held a groundbreaking and blessing ceremony for its innovative "Sun Rock" green energy operation and maintenance center. This historic project is a collaboration with Reiju Construction and renowned construction company MVRDV, aiming to set new standards for sustainable development in Taiwan.

Sun Rock aims to be Taiwan’s first “net-zero building” with a focus on energy efficiency and sustainability. The exterior of the building will be decorated with solar panels, shaped like an armadillo, that will use ample sunlight to generate nearly 1 million kilowatt-hours of green energy every year. This sustainable design not only meets the building’s energy needs but also feeds excess energy back into the grid, making it a net-zero emission structure.

The center will serve as an operating base for more than 50 wind turbines for the Phase 1 and 2 offshore wind farm. It will also serve as a storage facility for onshore wind turbines, solar panels, maintenance tools and equipment-related materials. The project is expected to be completed by the end of 2024 and will improve the efficiency of Taipower’s green energy infrastructure.
