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.
April 28—in just five seconds, Spain lost 15 gigawatts of electricity, cutting off power to more than 55 million people across the Iberian Peninsula. From Madrid to Lisbon, homes fell dark, businesses stalled, and chaos rippled through critical infrastructure.
Two weeks ago, engineers from 2G Energy flew in from Germany straight to our office for something worthwhile: hands-on work with the teams behind AMPOWER—strengthening technical expertise, deepening product knowledge, and enhancing problem-solving skills.
Within the industrial landscape of Taiwan, Trade Insight (經貿透視) speaks with quiet authority. Guided by the Ministry of Economic Affairs (MOEA), it doesn’t chase trends. It documents those who shape them.
There’s a certain electricity in the air when fresh academic thought meets the weight of real-world experience. That’s exactly what will unfold at the Green Energy Technology Forum, a collaboration held by the Industrial Technology Research Institute (ITRI) with three of the prestigious universities in Taiwan: National Taiwan University (NTU), National Taiwan University of Science and Technology (NTUST), and National Taiwan Normal University (NTNU).
On March 14, engineers from the largest semiconductor company in Taiwan took part in an immersive training at our Tainan office: a deep dive into the mechanics of diesel generators, their operation, and the vital procedures for their maintenance. This is about empowering our partners with the expertise to keep power systems running at peak performance.
March 12, around noon, the usual bustle of Taoyuan International Airport’s Terminal 2 came to an abrupt halt.
For 73 minutes, the airport’s pulse—a steady hum of activity—was silenced. Passengers were left in the dark, quite literally, as the check-in gates, security screening, and duty-free areas lost power.
It was such an amazing session at Nangang Vocational High School! Last Friday, AMPOWER’s associate manager Mars Lin joined Yo-Tai Corp.’s Managing Director, Mr. Wang Chih-Pao, to engage with 30 bright students as part of an industry-academia collaboration program.
Vocational high schools are more than just places of learning—they’re where curiosity meets hands-on experience, and students are prepared to make an impact. AMPOWER believes in encouraging the next generation of energy industry professionals, which is why this upcoming Friday, we’re sharing what we do, how we do it, and why it matters!
Every year, major industries in Taiwan—semiconductors, steel, and petrochemicals—generate hundreds of thousands of tons of hydrogen-containing byproducts. It’s treated as waste: discarded, burned, or left untapped. Imagine this much byproduct converted into a source of power while emitting low carbon!
