Geothermal energy is commonly used for power generation. It requires minimal land use and has a minimal environmental footprint, offering a sustainable baseload power source. Many countries, including the USA, Japan, the Philippines, Indonesia, New Zealand, and Mexico, situated along the Pacific Ring of Fire, have extensively developed geothermal energy.
Taiwan boasts over a hundred hot spring areas, with over thirty sites identified for potential geothermal energy utilization. These sites are primarily located in regions such as Datunshan, Qingshui, Tuchang, Lushan, Jinlun, Zhiben, Baolai and Ruisui. Recent studies indicate Taiwan possesses significant geothermal reserves, estimated to provide up to 32 GW of power, yet its development remains in its nascent stages.
Currently, Taiwan relies heavily on solar and wind energy, facing challenges due to their intermittency. Geothermal energy, conversely, offers stable baseload power and premium green energy. In the Jinlun hot spring area, AMPOWER, in collaboration with LCY GROUP, established Taiwan’s first privately-owned geothermal power plant, connected with Taipower to generate electricity since 2022.
AMPOWER is dedicated to environmental protection, championing green energy solutions, with a firm belief in geothermal energy’s pivotal role in sustainable development. We remain committed to advancing geothermal technology and contributing to our sustainable future. By harnessing geothermal energy, we aspire to achieve a win-win scenario for both environment and economy.
