Taiwan Power Company (Taipower) has announced the launch of its new low-carbon power initiative, RE30, designed to help businesses effectively cope with the upcoming EU carbon tariffs. The core of this plan involves mixing 30% renewable energy into the electricity supply, aiming to reduce overall carbon emissions and align with the growing global concern over climate change.

With increased global focus on climate change, particularly as EU countries plan to enforce stricter carbon emission regulations in the coming years, this poses a challenge for Taiwanese businesses exporting to the EU. The introduction of the RE30 plan aims to assist these companies in adapting to the new environment, thereby mitigating potential additional carbon taxes they might face in the future.

Beyond just increasing the proportion of green energy, the RE30 plan also promotes energy efficiency within companies, encouraging the construction of more energy-efficient equipment and the use of eco-friendly materials. This approach not only reduces energy costs for businesses but also enhances their competitiveness in the international market.

Reports indicate that the RE30 plan will not only help companies tackle carbon taxes, but it could also facilitate Taiwan's goal of achieving carbon neutrality by 2050. The Taiwanese government continues to promote various renewable energy projects, aiming to establish a stronger green energy matrix in future energy supply.

In addition to the RE30 plan, Taipower is enhancing its collaboration with companies to promote further renewable energy solutions, including solar and wind energy. Such initiatives not only improve the environmental friendliness of energy use but also expand Taiwan's image in the international environmental market.

A representative from Taipower stated that the RE30 plan is designed with the actual needs of businesses in mind, offering flexibility so that companies can select suitable plans based on their production needs, achieving a balance between cost and environmental protection.

However, to successfully transition to low-carbon power, companies themselves will also need to adjust internal management and production processes. This may require time and resources, but in the long run, it will yield positive outcomes for business development.

In summary, the RE30 plan offers an effective solution for companies to respond to global low-carbon trends, showcasing Taipower's commitment and efforts in promoting a low-carbon economy.
