2025 Asia-Pacific Power Summit Opens Taipower Partners with Global Utilities to Address Smart Grid Resilience
2025 Asia-Pacific Power Summit Opens on the 26th at Taipower Headquarters, Gathering Representatives from Leading Power Companies
In response to global trends such as renewable energy development and net-zero emissions, the development and resilience enhancement of smart grids has become a key focus for electric utilities worldwide. Taipower, in collaboration with the Taiwan Smart Grid Industry Association (TSGIA), Taiwan Institute of Economic Research (TIER), and Moxa Inc., has jointly organized the three-day 2025 Asia-Pacific Power Summit. The event officially launched on May 26 at Taipower's Headquarters, bringing together international utilities for exchange and dialogue. The summit gathers power companies from Taiwan, Japan, South Korea, Australia, and other Asia-Pacific regions, alongside industry leaders, solution integrators, and technical experts. Through the sharing of global technology and practical experience, the forum aims to accelerate power grid upgrades and smart transformation.
The theme of the forum is "Enhancing Smart Grid Resilience". It features senior executives from eight major electricity companies, including Tokyo Electric Power Company (TEPCO), Kansai Electric Power Company, Korea Electric Power Corporation (KEPCO), Indonesia's PLN, and Australia's Endeavour Energy. Also participating are institutions such as the U.S.-based Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) and Salt River Project (SRP). Representing Taipower, Vice President Chin-Chung Wu delivered a keynote speech outlining the company's comprehensive plan to both increase renewable energy integration and strengthen power supply stability and grid resilience.
Vice President Chin-Chung Wu stated that from 2022 to 2024, Taipower ranked second globally in Singapore's Smart Grid Index (SGI), a prestigious benchmark for smart grid development—demonstrating Taipower's technical capabilities. In recent years, Taipower has been actively advancing grid-wide ICT (Information and Communication Technology) integration through intelligent dispatching, power generation and grid management, distributed energy storage, demand response load control, and infrastructure upgrades. These efforts help optimize supply-demand balancing, improve monitoring and automation, enhance grid resilience, and ensure both power reliability and quality.
To deepen practical knowledge exchange, Taipower also engaged in a three-party technical exchange with TEPCO and Japanese ICT provider NESIC, sharing how the GeoOMS (Geographic Outage Management System) is used to assess damage and expedite power restoration during natural disasters. Additionally, Taipower held a technical session with KEPCO focused on grid stability and reliability. Taipower emphasized that it will continue to strengthen international collaboration on smart grid applications to jointly enhance smart grid resilience, ultimately achieving stable power supply, optimized energy use, and the shared goal of net-zero emissions.
