Energy Management

Energy audits to identify opportunities for improving energy performance

TECO complies with the ISO 14001 environmental management system and internal management procedures, and conducts energy audits every year. It analyzes the energy usage types and amounts of each operating site and identifies major energy usage hot spots, and further develops corresponding and effective energy-saving and carbon-reducing plans.

Quantified targets to address energy savings

According to the energy consumption of TECO’s global production base (coverage rate 84.6%) comes from natural gas, diesel, gasoline (scope1) and purchased electricity (scope2), the energy consumption of Scope1 is managed to reduce by 5% per year; the energy consumption of Scope2 is The management goal is to achieve 30% of the total electricity consumption by generating electricity in 2030.

Actions to reduce the amount of energy use

In 2023, a total of 23 energy-saving and carbon-reduction plans were proposed, saving a total of 2,676,482kWh (based on Taiwan’s 2022 electricity coefficient of 0.495 kg CO2e/kWh) and reducing carbon emissions by 1324.8 ton CO2e.
In addition, non-renewable energy usage has continued to decline since 2021. The usage also decreased by 9,234.1 MWH compared with last year.

Evaluation of progress in reducing energy consumption

In 2023, through energy conservation and carbon reduction plans, a total of 2,676,482kWh of electricity is saved (based on Taiwan’s 2022 electricity coefficient of 0.495 kg CO2e/kWh), and carbon emissions will be reduced by 1324.8 ton CO2e.

Use of clean or green energy

TECO has completed solar power generation facilities in Southeast Asia and Italy in 2023. Together with the original power generation capacity, the total power generation in 2023 will be approximately 10.58 million kWh, accounting for approximately 10% of the total power consumption of the group (global locations).

Investments in innovation or R&D to decrease energy consumption

In addition to carrying out 23 energy-saving and carbon-reduction plans for its own factories in 2023, TECO has invested a total of NTD4,850k in environmental protection expenditures. TECO continues to research and develop high-efficiency and low-carbon products, including carbon capture, heat exchanger cooling fan motors, and investment Green energy industries such as green energy photovoltaic storage projects

Energy efficiency training provided to employees to raise awareness of energy consumption reduction

TECO conducts energy efficiency training for energy management personnel in production bases to improve energy conservation awareness (such as carbon reduction case analysis, saving energy consumption or carbon reduction effect calculation courses); the number of training personnel is 2,046, totaling 3,548.35 hours .
