Growing in tandem with Taiwan’s dynamic energy storage industry, Recharge Power has emerged as the largest and leading company in this sector. Its impressive track record speaks for itself. With over 600 megawatt-hours of energy storage systems installed across Taiwan and the distinction of leading Taiwan’s first automatic frequency control (AFC) demo project, Recharge Power’s deep-rooted involvement with Taipower and Taiwan’s energy administration has cemented its position as a key player in the nation’s energy transformation.

From inception to completion, Recharge Power orchestrates every facet of the energy storage process. It begins with securing essential permits and lease agreements, determining optimal battery size and designing complex electrical and civil works. The company’s financial team then conducts comprehensive assessments and builds robust financial models, ensuring the viability and profitability of each project. Meanwhile, the in-house software engineers, armed with profound industry knowledge, craft flexible turnkey solutions tailored to client needs. Strategic collaborations with financial institutions further bolster the company’s capacity to deliver high-performing, cost-effective solutions.

This collaboration extends beyond project completion, as Recharge Power continues to support its clients with dedicated operation and maintenance (O&M) services and power trading service aggregation, ensuring long-term success and reliability.

In 2020, Recharge Power achieved a milestone by completing Taiwan’s first utility-scale energy storage project. This project continues to operate with exceptional quality and service, having a service performance index (SPI) averaging 99.96 percent, significantly surpassing Taipower’s requirement of 95 percent. Additionally, Recharge Power spearheaded the Luyuan project, Taipower’s first financial procurement bidding program, delivering superior automatic frequency control services. This project marked Taipower’s first selfbuilt online system.

With an unmatched understanding of renewable energy and industry trends, Recharge Power is always one step ahead. Its deep technical and regulatory knowledge allows the company to anticipate and adapt to the future needs of Taiwan’s energy market. This foresight has proven crucial as northeastern Taiwan faces potential power shortages due to the impending retirement of nuclear plants. Recharge Power’s systems are designed with adaptability in mind, capable of accommodating additional battery modules to meet future demands. By working closely with the government and the Bureau of Energy, Recharge Power plays a pivotal role in shaping the future of Taiwan’s energy industry. Its proactive approach ensures that Recharge Power remains at the forefront of the sector, driving innovation and delivering sustainable solutions for a brighter future. A shining example of this is its flagship project in Yilan, where the company constructed Taiwan’s largest energy storage system, with a capacity of 335 megawatt-hours. While most competitors focus on frequency regulation requiring shorter energy storage, Recharge Power expanded its capabilities by anticipating the industry’s future energy demands.

“Our team understands the technical aspects of energy storage and the specific local requirements, ensuring projects operate reliably with precise millisecond response times and accurate power outputs. This capability allows us to scale our projects effectively, maintaining high standards across all installations,” says Spencer Feng, COO.

Safety is another cornerstone of Recharge Power’s operations. Collaborating with leading battery energy storage system (BESS) integrators and fire safety engineers, it designs and constructs sites that exceed National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) 855 standards. Each project is equipped with top-tier solutions and comprehensive safety mechanisms, ensuring the highest safety standards are met.

By providing essential energy shifting and frequency regulation applications, Recharge Power also plays a critical role in stabilizing Taiwan’s power grid. These services are vital in supporting the Bureau of Energy’s efforts to increase the penetration of renewable energy, particularly solar power. A shining example of its capabilities occurred during a 7.2 magnitude earthquake in April 2024. The quake caused power generators to trip, leading to a rapid frequency drop. Recharge Power’s BESS, along with others in the industry swiftly responded, charging 500 megawatts within 10 seconds, stabilizing the frequency and preventing a national blackout.

Recharge Power has established itself as a strong pillar in Taiwan’s energy storage industry by consistently delivering innovative solutions and maintaining high standards across all projects. Its commitment to quality and proactive approach ensures it remains at the forefront of the market, ready to meet the evolving needs of its clients and the industry.
