This year, the Taiwan Creative Content Agency (TAICCA) organized the first-ever ESG for Culture Impact Awards. Taipower's long-term investment in electrical industry cultural preservation and promotion of electrical industry culture both won affirmation at the awards. Today (November 21), Taipower won the dual honors of a Long-Term Partnership award and a Resource Assistance award. Taipower continues to uphold its mission of providing a stable supply of power, while also investing in arts and cultural events, cultural heritage conservation, and more. Through the deep connotations of electrical industry culture, Taipower aims to help promote the development of Taiwan's cultural content industries.

The ceremony for the ESG for Culture Impact Awards was held concurrently with the ceremony for the 17th Arts & Business Awards, at Taipei's Songshan Cultural and Creative Park. On behalf of Taipower, Vice President Tsai Chih-Meng accepted the awards presented by TAICCA CEO Erica Wang. Taipower has previously won the Ministry of Culture Arts & Business Awards four years running. This year, those awards were divided into individual and group categories. The ESG for Culture Impact Awards, established by TAICCA, are presented to corporations that collaborate on cultural content creators and build ESG impacts. Its first time participating, Taipower has already won affirmation for the Charging Up Culture: Electrical Industry Cultural Heritage Conservation Project. 

A Taipower spokesperson pointed out that the electrical industry has been developing for a century in Taiwan. The electrical facilities spread across Taiwan not only support the country's economic vitality, but are themselves evidence of Taiwan's economic and social development. In 2016, Taipower initiated the Electrical Industry Cultural Heritage Conservation Project. This combines cultural object inventories, collections, research, publishing, displaying, interchanges, and more. Nearly 2000 important cultural objects have been stored in the Taipower Collection Center. The Center has also opened a digital companion in the form of the Electrical Industry Cultural Object Online Collection, to share with society at large. This highlights how Taipower is promoting the concepts of corporate concern for the humanities and cultural sustainability.

In recent years, Taipower has been working hard to promote broader social participation, aimed at making cultural heritage preservation less about static collections and more aimed at dynamic management. From 2024 to 2025, Taipower has continued to organize Power Industry Cultural Walks by the Xindian and Zhuoshui rivers. These events guide members of the public to a deeper understanding of how electrical facilities are linked to local development. The events also combine local innovative industry and sustainable travel. Taipower is simultaneously promoting oral history, with more than 65 retired electrical industry workers invited to do interviews. These oral histories record the career experiences and life stories of front-line electrical industry tradespeople, helping to preserve Taiwan's intangible memories and the history of the electrical industry.  

The spokesperson further noted that, through ongoing collaboration with cultural content producers, Taipower has in 2025 initiated an electrical industry culture picture book publishing project. An illustrator and author have been invited to learn deeply about Mingtan and Takuan power plants. They have combed through the developmental history of the electrical industry, and then been guided by experts to understand the principles of power generation, and generation unit operations and overhaul processes.  The picture book Powe-Ring the Island: A Taiwanese Hydropower Journey through Time and Space (placeholder name), is set to be published in 2026. The book will use words and pictures to help more people see the expertise and beauty of electrical power in Taiwan, and will demonstrate the spirit of multidisciplinary collaboration in cultural content creation. 

The spokesperson noted that 2026 will mark the company's 80th anniversary. In the future, Taipower will continue to work together with cultural content creators and local cultural organizations, using cultural heritage as a medium for conveying the deep connections between electricity, locality, and society. Through the Collection Center, oral history recordings, culture walks, publishing, and the Electrical Industry Cultural Object Online Collection, Taipower will continue to use diverse methods to bring energy knowledge, electrical industry culture, and the spirit of corporate sustainability to the public at large.
