The Taichung Houli Niuchoukeng site is a ground-mounted solar PV system with an installed capacity of 2 MWp. Prior to construction, SPE invested nearly NT$10 million to clear 477.6 metric tons of illegal waste from the site, restoring the land and transforming it into a clean energy hub. Additionally, SPE provided land free of charge to the local government for ceremonial event parking, responding to local needs and fostering harmony between renewable energy infrastructure and the community.

In terms of environmental management, the facility utilizes non-toxic pure water to clean solar modules and retains a green buffer zone over 30%, balancing equipment maintenance with ecological preservation. Structurally, the system is engineered to withstand Level 17 peak wind gusts, demonstrating SPE’s commitment to engineering safety and extreme weather risk management.

Beyond power generation and equipment upkeep, SPE integrates community disaster prevention into its site management. During power outages, the facility provides local residents with necessary backup power, delivering energy benefits while fulfilling local needs and realizing community co-prosperity.

For enterprises seeking to adopt solar energy, PV installation demands more than suitable site conditions and construction quality—it requires environmental stewardship, equipment safety, and long-term operations and maintenance (O&M). Through its practical experience at the Niuchoukeng site, SPE demonstrates integrated capabilities from land remediation to plant operation, assisting enterprises in advancing renewable energy goals with both high performance and sustainability.

Chiang Chao-Ching, General Manager of SPE, stated that this award recognizes the team’s O&M excellence and local commitment. Moving forward, the company will continue to enhance its solar PV deployment and smart O&M capabilities, helping more enterprises transition to renewable energy and create sustainable value across energy efficiency, environmental responsibility, and social impact.
