Taipower to Launch RE30 Product on June 1 Providing Low-Carbon Power to Support Global Expansion of Taiwanese Enterprises

Taipower to Launch RE30 Product on June 1 Providing Low-Carbon Power to Support Global Expansion of Taiwanese Enterprises
Taipower emphasizes that RE30 plays a role in providing timely support to the green electricity market. Based on the user's monthly electricity consumption, privately sourced green power will be prioritized, with RE30 used to fill the remaining gap up to 30%. For example, if a company purchases 1 million kWh of RE30 for one year (including 300,000 kWh of green power), this can meet its monthly electricity needs. If the company uses 100,000 kWh in a month and receives 10,000 kWh of green power from a private supplier, Taipower will supplement the remaining 20,000 kWh to help the company reach the 30% renewable energy usage target.
