EDPR Sunseap, the Asia Pacific platform of EDP Renewables, has started supplying electricity commercially from solar installations at 56 schools in Taiwan for 2022, supporting the island’s transition to clean and renewable energy.
The installations have a total capacity of 15 Megawatts-peak (MWp), sufficient to supply approximately 4,440 Taiwanese households annually while offsetting 9,196 metric tonnes of carbon emissions*. Energy produced from these solar installations is distributed through Taiwan’s National Grid.
About 70% of these solar installations are in Yunlin County, a region known for its agricultural products. In one of the projects, EDPR Sunseap installed solar panels on the top-level bleachers surrounding a sports field – taking advantage of existing, elevated spaces that have been underutilised.
EDPR Sunseap has a pipeline of solar projects in schools totalling another 13 MWp in 2023, to support Taiwan’s national net zero target by 2050.
An EDPR Sunseap spokesperson said: “Solar systems installed in schools do not just reduce carbon emissions, they also provide an environment where students can experience first-hand how solar energy systems work. Education is a building block that can significantly accelerate renewable development in Taiwan.”

星生能源支持學校太陽能建設 助台灣能源轉型腳步
2022年12月15日, 台灣
星生能源於今(15)日宣布，2022年在台啟用56間學校太陽能案場，協助台灣再生能源推動腳步。
此學校專案總容量15MWp，足以提供每年約 4,440 戶的台灣家庭用電，同時抵消 9,196 公噸碳排放*。該專案七成案場集中在雲林縣國中小，遍及該區所有鄉鎮市。
星生能源為擴大綠能建置，探詢許多創新方式，其一專案運用運動場邊的看台頂層鋪設太陽能板，將看台轉型為複合型供電設施，期望在提供學生休憩空間的同時，也拉近學生與環境永續的距離。
星生能源發言人表示：「太陽能學校專案不僅能協助能源轉型，更提供學生直接接觸綠能的機會。」 「我們認為教育是環境永續的基石，更能有效帶動台灣再生能源發展腳步。」
星生能源為支持台灣2050年淨零碳排目標，預計2023年將再開發13MWp以上的學校太陽能專案，為台灣綠能發展盡一份心力。
*計算基準: 台電2021年電力排碳係數 0.509 kg CO2e/度
