January 9, 2026-Taipower has been dedicated to the development of sports in Taiwan for 80 years. In that time, the Company has established six top-ranked state-owned enterprise teams and cultivated over 500 national athletes. Today, Taipower was honored in the Sports Activist Awards, winning three major awards for the 11th consecutive year: the Gold Award (Sponsor category), the Long-term Sponsorship Award (Sponsor category), and the Gold Award (Promotion category). A Taipower representative expressed that in addition to the Company's mission of ensuring a stable power supply, Taipower has been managing multiple sports teams for many years, thereby facilitating the cultivation of up-and-coming talents and encouraging athletes to follow their dreams. Last year, the Company also revised its internal regulations, easing the restriction preventing former players from returning to Taipower teams after competing professionally. In the future, Taipower will continue to promote sports-related public welfare initiatives to foster sportsmanship at the grassroots level and practice corporate social responsibility.

The 2025 Sports Activist Awards Ceremony was held today at the Taipei Performing Arts Center. Taipower Vice President Tsai Chih-Meng accepted the award from Executive Yuan Premier Cho Jung-Tai on behalf of the Company. This year marked the 17th Sports Activist Awards. Taipower stood out among 136 corporate and individual participants, receiving the award for the 16th time, and sweeping three major categories for the 11th consecutive year, joining the ranks of esteemed companies such as Taiwan Cooperative Bank, First Commercial Bank, and Chunghwa Telecom. 

To encourage Taipower players to continuously to test their limits through domestic and international professional competitions, the Company revised its internal regulations last year, relaxing the restriction that prevented former players who had transferred to competitive professional sports leagues from returning to Taipower teams. Now, if players leave Taipower teams due to national athletic development needs, they can apply for leave without pay and retain their team member status, enabling them to compete in overseas or domestic league matches without disturbing their status at Taipower.

Since 1946, Taipower has successively established six sports teams: men's baseball, men's volleyball, women's badminton, women's volleyball, men's soccer, and women's basketball. The teams have a longstanding history of discovering potential talent at the high school and college level and training these star athletes for the benefit of Taiwan. Among them, Chiu Pin-Chian from the Taipower women's badminton team emerged as champion in the women's singles category at the 2025 Korea Masters (Super 300 class), earning her first BWF super championship trophy. She is also the first Taiwanese badminton player since Badminton Queen Tai Tzu-ying to win a women's singles championship at the Super 300 class or higher, bringing honor to Taiwan.

Taipower's sports teams also achieved outstanding results at various domestic competitions. In 2025, the baseball team ranked first in the National Top Division Baseball Spring League and third in the Popcorn League. The men's and women's volleyball teams ranked second and first, respectively, in the 2024 Top Volleyball League regular season. On the women's badminton team, Chen Su-Yu won second place in the women's singles category in the second National Badminton Ranking Tournament of 2025. The soccer team ranked second in the 2025 Taiwan President FA Cup. As for the women's basketball team, Taipower netted five potential stars in the 2025 draft, including top pick Ting Chih-Jung, and hopes to once again create good results in this year's competition.

In addition to cultivating athletic talents, Taipower also exercises corporate social responsibility by promoting public welfare through sports. The Company organizes an annual Care Train, which dispatches players to schools in remote areas to teach children athletic skills and sportsmanship. Over 100 sessions have been held to date. Moreover, since 2016, the Company has hosted the Taipower Fun Sports Camp every summer, where national athletes serve as summer camp counselors to lead students in drills. Last year, the camp attracted 3600 schoolchildren to play ball together, bringing the total number of participants to over 22,000 since its inception.
