In addition to inviting listed companies such as Fortune Electric, WPD, and Formosa Plastics Group to participate and award scholarships to outstanding students, the event also featured green-collar professionals from Shing Chi Green Energy and Fortune Electric, who shared their experiences and insights into the power industry, encouraging more young talents to join the field.

According to the International Energy Agency, there will be approximately 30 million new jobs related to clean energy globally by 2030. Director General of the Bureau of Energy, Ministry of Economic Affairs, Eugene You, also stated that since the opening of green electricity trading and the launch of the electricity trading platform in 2021, in addition to providing Taiwanese enterprises with the green electricity needed to achieve ESG goals and meeting the various ancillary services required by the power system, it has also attracted more talent to the industry. Following the amendment of certain articles of the Electricity Act on July 19th this year, the Ministry of Economic Affairs has also announced plans to relax the current restrictions on green electricity trading, recognizing that talent is the cornerstone of industrial prosperity.

According to ITRI President and Chairman of the Taiwan Power and Energy Engineering Society, Dr. Edwin Liu, due to Taiwan's limited land and dense population, achieving a balance between power supply and demand while meeting net-zero requirements cannot rely solely on power companies. It requires cooperation from both the supply and demand sides. In terms of the country's overall energy use, the concept of "integrated resource planning" should be introduced. Through professional and rational mathematical models, factors such as cost and environment should be incorporated, and under the premise of consensus, the optimal power usage combination should be established to ensure stable and sustainable power supply.

In conclusion, the stability of power supply today requires the cooperation of both supply and demand sides, relying on the participation of the entire population. For example, California faced a power outage crisis caused by a heatwave in September 2022, but through the cooperation of the people, they were able to save 1000MW of electricity within a few hours, successfully avoiding regional power rationing, which is a valuable lesson for Taiwan. Taiwan's power industry, with the promotion of renewable energy and the liberalization of the electricity market, has driven the rapid development of new technologies such as energy conservation and energy efficiency improvement. Domestic and foreign cross-domain enterprises are actively seeking power and energy professionals to seize business opportunities.

In 2019, ITRI, in collaboration with the Taiwan Power and Energy Engineering Society, industry, academia, and research institutions, established the "Power Grid School and Talent Development Alliance." Through professional courses and scholarships, they cultivate local green-collar talent and collaborate with National Taiwan University, National Sun Yat-sen University, and National Cheng Kung University to promote cross-domain power programs for students interested in electricity. They are also in discussions with National Taiwan University of Science and Technology, National Taipei University of Technology, and National Kaohsiung University of Science and Technology, with plans to expand to more schools in the future. For in-service green-collar professionals, the Taiwan Power and Energy Engineering Society has also established the "Liu Shusheng Memorial Award" to encourage these outstanding talents to continue to shine in the power field and contribute to Taiwan's sustainable electricity.

The "Power Grid Talent Development Alliance Scholarship," established by ITRI, TPC, Fortune Electric, Formosa Plastics Group, Delta Electronics, TIER, Arion Electric, Hailong Offshore Wind Power, WPD, Gainergy Technology, AcBel Polytech, Pacific Electric Wire & Cable, Ansell Renewable Energy, and Shingtech Electric, awarded a total of 36 students, including "Outstanding Proposal Award/ Tatung University Department of Electrical Engineering, Lin Liang-Wei," "Outstanding Project Achievement Award/ Chin-Yi University of Technology Department of Electrical Engineering, Shih Tung-Ting," and "Outstanding Student Scholarship/ National Taiwan University Department of Engineering Science and Ocean Engineering, Liao Pei-Chun."

Furthermore, the forum specially invited two young power professionals, Chen Yan-Xun, Executive Vice President of Shing Chi Green Energy, and Lai Shih-Keng, HR Manager of Fortune Electric, to give keynote speeches on "Building a Mutually Beneficial Ecosystem: Opportunities and Challenges in the Green Energy Industry" and "Overview and Development of the Heavy Electrical Industry," respectively, sharing the business opportunities and prospects of the power industry.
