TCC Green Energy Corp (台泥綠能) has inked a deal with Taiyen Green Energy Co (臺鹽綠能) to build a solar farm over a giant fish pond in Chiayi County, with the project scheduled to start producing electricity in July next year.
Taiwan Cement Corp (TCC, 台灣水泥) on Friday said that the NT$1.398 billion (US$48.41 million) deal covers engineering, procurement and construction.
Construction of the nation’s first large fish farm-electricity symbiosis plant above a 60 hectare pond would start in the middle of this month, TCC said.
The solar farm would have a maximum output of 43 megawatts, and be able to generate an average of 54 million kilowatt-hours of electricity per year, enough to power 16,000 households, TCC said.
Over 20 years, the amount of carbon dioxide emissions avoided as a result of the energy produced by the plant would be equivalent to that absorbed by 1,550 of Taipei’s Daan Forest Parks, it said.
As long as the solar farm does not change the landform, the plan to codevelop fisheries and electricity is in line with government policies and would create a niche for fish farming, green energy and a clean environment, TCC said.
Quanta Computer Inc (廣達) chairman Barry Lam (林百里) is expected to share his views about the artificial intelligence (AI) industry’s prospects during his speech at the company’s 37th anniversary ceremony, as AI servers have become a new growth engine for the equipment manufacturing service provider. Lam’s speech is much anticipated, as Quanta has risen as one of the world’s major AI server suppliers. The company reported a 30 percent year-on-year growth in consolidated revenue to NT$1.41 trillion (US$43.35 billion) last year, thanks to fast-growing demand for servers, especially those with AI capabilities. The company told investors in November last year that
Taiwanese suppliers to Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. (TSMC, 台積電) are expected to follow the contract chipmaker’s step to invest in the US, but their relocation may be seven to eight years away, Minister of Economic Affairs J.W. Kuo (郭智輝) said yesterday. When asked by opposition Chinese Nationalist Party (KMT) Legislator Niu Hsu-ting (牛煦庭) in the legislature about growing concerns that TSMC’s huge investments in the US will prompt its suppliers to follow suit, Kuo said based on the chipmaker’s current limited production volume, it is unlikely to lead its supply chain to go there for now. “Unless TSMC completes its planned six

Power supply and electronic components maker Delta Electronics Inc (台達電) yesterday said second-quarter revenue is expected to surpass the first quarter, which rose 30 percent year-on-year to NT$118.92 billion (US$3.71 billion). Revenue this quarter is likely to grow, as US clients have front-loaded orders ahead of US President Donald Trump’s planned tariffs on Taiwanese goods, Delta chairman Ping Cheng (鄭平) said at an earnings conference in Taipei, referring to the 90-day pause in tariff implementation Trump announced on April 9. While situations in the third and fourth quarters remain unclear, “We will not halt our long-term deployments and do not plan to
