Advancing Land Restoration and Environmental Management to Build Sustainable PV Sites

The Taichung Houli Niuchoukeng project 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 illegally dumped waste, restoring the land and transforming the site into a clean energy hub. Additionally, SPE offered land free of charge to the local government for event parking during traditional rituals, actively addressing local needs and fostering community integration.

For environmental management, SPE uses non-toxic purified water to clean the PV modules and preserves a green buffer zone covering over 30% of the site to balance equipment maintenance with ecological protection. The structural design can withstand peak wind gusts up to Level 17, underscoring SPE's commitment to engineering safety and extreme weather risk management.

Extending PV Value: From Generation Efficiency to Community Disaster Resilience

Beyond power generation and equipment maintenance, SPE incorporates community disaster resilience into site management. During power outages, the site provides emergency electricity support to local residents, allowing green energy facilities to deliver utility while creating social value.

For enterprises planning solar PV adoption, project execution requires not only favorable site conditions and build quality, but also robust environmental management, equipment safety, and long-term O&M. Through the Houli Niuchoukeng project, SPE demonstrates end-to-end capabilities from land remediation to power plant operation, empowering businesses to advance renewable energy goals effectively and sustainably.

Deepening Smart Energy Services to Drive Enterprise Sustainability

Chao-Ching Chiang, General Manager of SPE, stated that this award validates the team’s O&M excellence and local commitment. Moving forward, SPE will continue refining its solar PV construction and smart O&M capabilities, helping more enterprises transition to renewable energy while achieving sustainable outcomes across energy performance, environmental responsibility, and social value.
