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.
AMPOWER’s very mission is expertly captured in the article published by Economic Daily News (經濟日報).
A brief flicker may seem like nothing, barely noticeable. But in the milliseconds it takes for the lights to blink, a delicate architecture of information systems can collapse. And with it, production halts, equipment fails, safety risks rise, and trust is lost.
Global energy systems are entering a phase of unprecedented instability, and for the companies that depend on them, the stakes are higher than ever: operational continuity, cost control, business growth, and reputational risk.
From August 2022 to May 2025, we’ve reached 1,103,486 cumulative working hours without a single lost-time injury!
As the heat of early summer set in, Taiwan experienced yet another month of power instability. From dense city districts to industrial zones, multiple regions faced unexpected blackouts and voltage drops, often with little warning or time to respond.
AI, automation, and high-precision systems are driving record-breaking power demand. While global tech giants like Amazon and Meta are building their own power plants to support data-heavy operations, many industrial facilities across Asia still depend on aging grids and intermittent renewable energy sources: fragile, unpredictable, risky.
