E.SUN FHC Completes Green Energy Wheeling

As a response to the nation’s net-zero carbon emissions goals, E.SUN FHC has voiced its commitment to use 100% renewable energy by 2030. To achieve this goal, the company will increase its green energy usage by 10% each year.

By building solar power equipment and purchasing green energy, the first green energy wheeling project was completed in 2021. The annual energy production of solar power projects that have already completed energy wheeling has reached 4.25 million kWh or 10% of the annual power consumption.

E.SUN’s model zero-carbon Chiayi Branch and the soon-to-open second headquarters building will be the first to start using green energy.

Chairman Joseph N. C. Huang (黃男州) of E.SUN Commercial Bank stated that E.SUN started planning its green energy procurement since the beginning of 2020. E.SUN conducted analyses and discussions with external energy providers on its energy usage to find the most suitable energy generation methods and locations for its energy projects.

After multiple meetings, and signing power purchase agreements, the projects were reviewed and approved by Taiwan Power Company, the Bureau of Energy, MEA, local governments, and the Bureau of Standards, Metrology and Inspection, MOEA. Finally, the first green energy wheeling project was completed in December 2021.

Furthermore, the solar power project in Chiayi is expected to begin green energy wheeling in the first quarter of 2022. By then, the E.SUN headquarters building, along with eight other branches, will have started using green energy, which will account for 8% of E.SUN’s total power consumption.

This energy in addition to the green energy that has been wheeled accounts for 18% of the company’s annual power consumption.
