August 25, 2025 – To reject undue external influence, today Taipower held a ceremony publicly committing to create a procurement integrity platform for the No. 1 Nuclear Power Plant and No. 2 Nuclear Power Plant Spent Fuel Internal Dry Storage Facilities Procurement Project. Representatives from the Ministry of Economic Affairs, the Ministry of Justice, the Prosecutor's Office, the Ethics Office, the Police Bureau, and other related institutions were invited to collaborate in establishing an integrity platform, which will publicly and transparently disclose the procurement project's background, processes, progress, and other information; provide external examination and supervision; and employ communication mechanisms to halt undue external influence, thereby ensuring that the Internal Dry Storage Facilities Procurement Project is completed on schedule and that it meets quality standards.
Today, Taipower held a ceremony at the Taipower Building publicly committing to create a procurement integrity platform for the No. 1 Nuclear Power Plant and No. 2 Nuclear Power Plant Spent Fuel Internal Dry Storage Facilities Procurement Project. The ceremony was hosted by Taipower Chairman Tseng Wen-sheng and jointly witnessed by attendees on site, including Ministry of Economic Affairs Vice Minister Chien-Hsin Lai; Ministry of Justice Deputy Minister Hsu Shi-Shiang; and other relevant units from the Prosecutor's Office and other institutions, demonstrating Taipower's insistence on upholding the four major principles of cross-sector collaboration, public–private partnership, transparent administration, and public supervision.
Taipower indicated that due to the large monetary amount required for the procurement of the internal dry storage facilities, along with the direct connection to nuclear safety, this plan has attracted significant attention from the public. Construction of the internal dry storage facilities is a key task for implementing necessary handling of nuclear waste. Once completed, it will be possible to withdraw spent fuel from the fuel pools of the No. 1 and No. 2 Nuclear Power Plants. 
Taipower expressed that to eliminate external misgivings and implement public disclosure of information, Taipower has collaborated with the Prosecutor's Office, the Ethics Office, and the Police Bureau to establish an integrity platform. The platform uses open and transparent methods to introduce external supervision, helps the public understand the procurement and execution process, and establishes contact and communication mechanisms that enable the Prosecutor's Office, the Ethics Office, police, contractors, and other public and private units to engage in timely conversation, prudently discuss relevant topics, and immediately respond to hidden risks and controversies, thereby helping to ensure that the large scale procurement plan is completed smoothly.
Taipower explained that in October 2021, Taipower established integrity platforms for two projects, the Extra-high Calorific Bituminous Coal Spot Procurement Project and the Offshore Wind Power Phase 2 Plan-Wind Farm Property Procurement and Installation Project, using a model that integrated procurement projects with integrity platforms and accumulating relevant experience. This year, information about the No. 1 Nuclear Power Plant and No. 2 Nuclear Power Plant Spent Fuel Internal Dry Storage Facilities Procurement Project will be disclosed via the Integrity Platform section of the official website, inviting joint public supervision in the hope that through transparent administration, the Company can eliminate undue external influences and ensure the progress and quality of this major procurement project.
