ECOVE Builds Luzhu Photovoltaic Plant, Generating Green Power, Supplying for 561 Households Yearly

On June 25, the Taiwan’s largest environmental resource management company, ECOVE, announced that it has completed a photovoltaic project at Taoyuan Metro Luzhu Depot generating 2.04 million kWh power which could supply for 561 households  and cut down 1,079 metric tons of carbon emission annually, equivalent to the amount of carbon dioxide absorbed by 4.1 Da'an Forest Parks in Taipei. With the benefits of power generation and carbon reduction, the plant will be an exemplary photovoltaic park in Taoyuan City.

ECOVE Solar Energy Corporation, an affiliate of ECOVE, possesses extensive experience of investment, development, construction, and operation of solar power plants in Taiwan as well as U.S. market. So far, the Company has completed projects which generate a total of 135.14 million kWh power and cuts down 73,218 metric tons of carbon emission, which could help ease the power strain during peak hours and make a contribution to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

Taoyuan Metro Corp. believes solar power is a non-polluting industry with high utilization efficiency. It selected Luzhu Depot and Chingpu Depot to install solar modules on the roof. After a rigorous selection process, ECOVE obtained development rights of Luzhu Photovoltaic Plant in 2018 and takes responsibility for the overall planning, investment, construction and operation of the photovoltaic facilities.

In addition, ECOVE SEC also won development rights of Qingpu Photovoltaic Plant which will be completed in June of 2020, generating approximately 3.78 million kWh green power which could supply for 1,040 households and cut down 2,000 metric tons of carbon emission annually, equivalent to the amount of carbon dioxide absorbed by 7.6 Da'an Parks in Taipei.

In addition to Luzhu and Chingpu photovoltaic projects, ECOVE SEC has long been engaged in cooperation with local governments and major public transportation institutions, such as Taoyuan Metro Corp., Kaohsiung Rapid Transit Corp., Taiwan High Speed Rail Company, Hualien County Gov't, Civil Aviation Administration, and Taiwan Port Corp. to develop investment in photovoltaic power system. With the abundant experience, ECOVE will continue to support renewable energy projects with actions and establish a new model for power industry in green energy construction in Taiwan.
