The International Energy Agency (IEA) calls it the new “Age of Electricity.” Global electricity demand is climbing, and this time the rise is steady, broad, and tied to how societies are changing: more industry, more digital infrastructure, and more electrification in every aspect of life.
With projects now spanning from the northern technology corridors to the southern industrial clusters, AMPOWER is strengthening our teams. We’re looking for dedicated engineers who want to build meaningful careers, deepen their hands-on expertise, and contribute to the systems that keep the most critical operations powered, safe, and resilient.
When the outer edges of Super Typhoon Ragasa swept across Taiwan in late September, the damage was immediate and staggering. More than 7,000 people were evacuated as torrents of rain overwhelmed rivers and mountainsides. By the time the storm moved on, 18 people had lost their lives, six remained missing, and over a hundred were injured.
One September night in Kaohsiung, the sky lit up orange as flames rose from the Hsinta Power Plant. A gas leak during trial runs of a new No.2 gas turbine had sparked a blaze visible for kilometers, quickly turning into an emergency that drew dozens of firefighters.
In early August, Taiwan faced the Pacific season’s fiercest storm yet—another form of endurance test for communities, businesses, and infrastructure.
In the latest episode of WATT’S UP, the official podcast by Energy Taiwan & Net-Zero Taiwan and Taiwan International Water Week, AMPOWER’s Associate Manager Mars Lin and Senior Sales Engineer Andrew Lee speak from firsthand experience, sharing how businesses are building systems that go beyond backup and toward uninterrupted resilience.
Culture doesn’t need a playbook. It happens in the in-between: when people show up, sit down, and share something real. This past month, teams across AMPOWER gathered for a time to catch up with colleagues we usually pass in the hallway or see in a meeting grid.
Typhoon Danas, the first of the 2025 Pacific season, struck Taiwan on July 6 and 7. At its peak, nearly one million households lost power, paralyzing homes, businesses, factories, and essential infrastructures. Over 2,500 power poles were damaged—more than half in Tainan—marking one of the worst grid disruptions in recent memory.
When a storm passes, the headlines move on quickly. But for businesses on the ground, recovery takes days, sometimes longer. And some never fully regain what they lost.
