SDG13.4.2 Achieve by
1. In addition to the existing 467 kWp solar power generation system, NCUE expects to install an additional photovoltaic solar power system with a total capacity of 4,107.43 kWp by the end of 2024 (3,062.79 kWp for Jinde Campus and 1,044.64 kWp for Baoshan Campus), so that the total annual solar power generation reaches over 5,134,282 kWh.
2. Continuing our past power-saving achievements (saving approximately 18% of power consumption in the past 15 years), NCUE plans to invest more than NT$ 5 million per year over the next 10 years into reducing the total power consumption of existing facilities, with a goal of achieving a 1% reduction in total power consumption each year (that is, more than 150,000 kWh per year). It is expected that, by 2029, the total annual power consumption of existing equipment will be reduced by at least 1.3 million kWh, compared to 2021.
3. For Baoshan Campus, the total capacity of the solar energy system will reach 1,044.64 kWp by the end of 2024, and power consumption during peak hours will reduce to 800 kwh, thus attaining carbon neutrality during peak hours.
4. For Jinde Campus, the total capacity of the solar energy system will reach 3,062.79 kWp by the end of 2024, and power consumption during peak hours will reduce to 2,400 kwh, attaining carbon neutrality during peak hours.
5. With the implementation of energy-saving and carbon-reduction policies and construction of a school-wide energy storage system, NCUE will be able to store the excess solar energy generated during daytime for nighttime use, thereby achieving year-long carbon neutrality. For academic year 2021–2022, solar power generation during peak hours was 571 kW. Statistical analysis has revealed that during academic year 2021–2022, on 233 days, total power consumption during peak hours was lower than total power generated by the photovoltaic solar power system. With 1,410 kWh of total energy storage capacity, excess solar energy can be stored for nighttime use. Thus, NCUE not only uses renewable energy to achieve carbon neutrality during daytime, but also does so by applying a large-scale energy storage system that increases carbon neutrality at night, enhancing renewable energy utilization.
