TAIPEI (Taiwan News) — Shihlin Electric said Tuesday it plans to power 15% of its operations with green energy by 2030 as it prepares to enter Taiwan’s carbon trading market.

The heavy electrical equipment manufacturer said it has ramped up rooftop solar installations across its facilities, aiming to reach 6.2 megawatts in capacity, per CNA. It also wants green energy to account for 30% of company revenue by the end of the decade.

As of last year, Shihlin had completed the first phase of installations, achieving 1,940 kW, and expects its Xinfeng plant in Hsinchu to go online by the end of the year. Phase two will add 2,720 kW by 2027, followed by another 1,595 kW by 2030.

To prepare for carbon trading, Shihlin secured 608 accumulating renewable energy certificates (RECs) this year from the National Renewable Energy Certificate Center and plans to collect at least 1,000. RECs are proof that one MWh of electricity was generated from a renewable source.

Under its “green titan” initiative, Shihlin is also developing power infrastructure that includes substation construction, energy storage systems, electric vehicle charging stations, and turnkey power plants using solar and wind energy.

The company said it will invest in renewable technologies and deepen its deployment of RECs to advance its low-carbon transformation and long-term sustainability goals.
