FENC has been aggressively investing in renewable energy, building a wide array of power generation facilities and purchasing renewable electricity to phase up the use of renewable electricity each year. The total renewable electricity use in 2024 is approximately 230 GWh, accounting for approximately 14% of the total electricity consumption. The target is to reach 250 GWh in 2025.

Installation of Renewable Energy Facilities

“Develop renewable energy” is one of the five major strategies propelling FENC forward along its march towards net zero. The Company has been intent on investing in and installing a broad mix of renewable energy facilities with additional solar and biogas power generators installed in Taiwan, mainland China, Vietnam, Japan and the U.S. FENC is supporting renewable energy use and GHG reduction with actions, minimizing environmental impacts from its production activities. 

Since 2016, FENC has been installing renewable power stations at its production sites in mainland China with a main focus on solar power. In 2024, the combined solar power generated at FENC sites in Taiwan, mainland China and Vietnam reached 24,580 MWh, of which 98% was consumed by FENC, which averted 12,681 tCO₂e of GHG emissions. It is anticipated that in 2025, the total capacity will reach 38.2 MW, which will generate 47,250 MWh of electricity annually.

Procurement of Renewable Electricity

FENC has been purchasing green power since 2015. In 2024, ten FENC production sites in Taiwan, mainland China and Japan purchased a total of 200 GWh of renewable energy certificates and avoided 98,227 tCO₂e of GHG emissions. FENC plans to purchase a minimum of 100 GWh of renewable energy certificates per year in the future to avert indirect energy-related GHG emissions.

Support for the Renewable Energy Development Act

The Renewable Energy Development Act stipulates that energy-heavy industries in Taiwan must build renewable energy generation facilities with a capacity equivalent to 10% of their contract capacity. FENC showed its support when the law went into effect by stepping up plans to construct new energy facilities, and by partnering with the government to promote the development of renewable energy. As of the end of 2024, FENC has installed solar power stations with 8,272 kW in capacity at its production sites in Taiwan, a 20% growth from 2023, and the expansion will continue. FENC also signed long-term power purchase agreements to increase the percentage of renewable electricity in its energy mix.

In addition to ongoing efforts in building solar power facilities, OPTC completed the installation of biogas generators in 2025 to be eligible for preferential rates offered to energy-heavy industries. Utilizing the biogas generated from its own anaerobic treatment system, it is estimated that the plant will generate approximately 6000 MWh in annual capacity. This is a climate action that demonstrates OPTC’s contribution to mitigating environmental impacts caused by global warming.
