The Ministry of Culture held its awards ceremony for the 15th Arts and Business Awards today (25th). Taiwan Power Company (Taipower) won the Arts and Business Awards for the third time with "the preservation of cultural heritage, and the performances and promotion of culture and art." Since 2016, Taipower has launched cultural heritage preservation, public art and cultural performance projects, and has become the first state-owned enterprise that budgets for cultural heritage projects, forms a unit in charge of the projects, and recruits talents excelling at cultural heritage. A total of several scores of units and hundreds of people have participated in the check of tens of thousands of pieces of cultural heritage. Moreover, Taipower has organized numerous cultural heritage exhibitions, and the activation and promotion of relics, historic sites and cultural heritage, and has invested over NT$90 million to support art and cultural activities in Taiwan. Taipower stated that the Company is actively involved in culture, art, cultural heritage preservation and other areas, in addition to holding fast to its mission of supplying stable power. Taipower lights up Taiwan's culture and art while illuminating our homeland!

Taipower hopes to undertake corporate social responsibility and carry out communication for public affairs by going from "soft power to warm power" with its cultural and art business. The Arts and Business Awards of the Ministry of Culture chiefly reward enterprises, groups or individuals who support cultural and art businesses. The awards take place every two years. In 2017, Taipower reconstructed the open space of its office buildings to display public artworks, and won the 13th Arts and Business Awards, becoming the first award-winning state-owned enterprise since the awards first took place in 1998. In 2019, Taipower won both the Golden Award and Enterprise Contribution Award of the 14th Arts and Business Awards with the "preservation of cultural heritage, and the performances and promotion of culture and art." This year (2022), Taipower won the Golden Award of the 15th Arts and Business Awards once again, becoming a state-owned enterprise that has won Arts and Business Awards three times!

 Taipower indicated that its cultural heritage team focuses on "collection and research prior to display and education." Over the past five years, based on the Cultural Heritage Preservation and Maintenance Project, Taipower has joined together with professional cultural heritage inspection teams to successively carry out surveys of 14 subjects including hydroelectric power systems along the river basins of the Dajia and Chuoshui Rivers, Taipower's files and documents, Taipower's baseball team, fire power in Taiwan, power distribution, retail, transmission and supply systems, and so on. Meanwhile, Taipower has published over ten volumes of its "Taiwan Power Cultural Heritage Series." Taipower stated that through the inspection of cultural relics, the cultural heritage and history of Taiwan's power industry can be protected. For example, over 1,500 pieces of cultural relics on the cultural heritage of the power transmission and supply system were checked last year (2021). Among these, a book titled "Machine Account for Land Use of Power Transmission Towers and Power Lines in Northern Taiwan" with nearly one hundred years of history was found!

Furthermore, Taipower stated that the Company collects cultural heritage related to the power industry, and continues to cooperate with teams both at home and abroad. For example, in 2019 and 2020, Taipower held the cultural heritage preservation exhibitions of "Just Flow" and "Light Up" respectively, attracting approximately 100,000 people in total to discover Taiwan's rich history and culture from the perspective of the development of the power industry in Taiwan. In addition to "telling stories" to show the abundant cultural and historical data of power development in Taiwan, Taipower passes down its scientific knowledge of power with exhibitions such as the "Exhibition of Power Zone" held in 2019, which guided viewers to enter from the angle of "power" and "beauty" with the project concept of "opening the transformer box." Taipower promotes the integration of power culture with aesthetics step by step, and hopes to share with viewers all over Taiwan. From the past, present, and to the future, the tight connection of power with the land and life enables the expertise and beauty of Taiwan's power to be seen by all, presenting Taipower's power wisdom and development process which keeps pace with the times.

 Taipower pointed out that it has been actively involved in the performances and promotion of culture and art for enterprises in recent years. In addition to inviting artists and art groups to hold nearly 50 performances and exhibitions at Taipower, the Company has rented over 100 paintings of local art creations from Taiwan Art Bank to be displayed at its public and office spaces. In the future, Taipower will continue to promote various artistic and cultural events across Taiwan, and do its best to support Taiwan's cultural policies to make Taipower's art and cultural footprints shine just as brightly as Taiwan's power.
