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.
We’ve met them before—in classrooms and casual campus talks. This time, they came to us.
Let’s picture something: your data center suddenly loses power. Just for a moment. Servers blink.
Summer is here! And along with rising temperatures come soaring electricity bills due to Taiwan Power Company’s seasonal pricing.
The energy you need might already be in your facility—you just haven’t captured it yet!
“The real challenge,” said AMPOWER sales engineer Andrew Lee, “is building smarter energy systems before the pressure breaks the grid.”
Over the past few years, the energy landscape in Taiwan is steadily changing. Renewable energy now accounts for over 10% of power generation; coal’s share has dropped below 40%, while natural gas takes the lead. These shifts helped reduce greenhouse gas emissions by almost 8.5 million tons in 2023—a positive sign of progress toward a cleaner future.
Nestled within AMPOWER’s Tainan office stands a test laboratory that plays a critical role in validating and refining our generator systems—ensuring their performance and compliance with international standards. Proudly accredited by the Taiwan Accreditation Foundation (TAF), the lab operates under globally recognized protocols designed to deliver consistent, credible results.
The race to net-zero is on—but solar and wind, while essential, are hitting hard limits. In Taiwan and beyond, solar deployment stalls over land and ecological conflicts. Soaring energy demand from AI and data centers also exposes the fragility of renewables that depend on the weather.
May 2025 has already seen widespread power outages across Taiwan, plunging urban areas into darkness and disrupting daily life for both residents and businesses. As we’re only halfway through the month, it’s clear these disruptions lead to serious concerns about the resulting losses, underscoring the urgent need for reliable backup systems.
