Tour Introduction

Taipower D/S ONE

Taipower D/S ONE is a re-purposing of an electric industry acronym meaning “Distribution Substation.” In this context, D/S ONE integrates the concepts of “Design” and “Sustainability” to create a cross-disciplinary platform that incorporates education, technology, art, and the humanities.

The initiative helps the public learn about green energy and explore ideas for a smart future, emphasizing sustainability, green trends, and Taiwan’s energy transformation.

The Xinmin Substation

Located in the Banqiao District of New Taipei City, the Xinmin Substation houses its electrical facilities on underground levels B2 to B4. It supplies over 600 million kilowatt-hours of electricity annually, ensuring a stable power supply to the Xinban District and the Banqiao transportation hub.

The substation features main transformers with a total installed capacity of 240 MVA and a reliable capacity of 180 MVA. In 2023, it reached a peak load of 173 MVA, reflecting a utilization rate of approximately 72.17%.

Beyond its core function, the building is a multifunctional facility. The above-ground floors house Taipower D/S ONE and the Taipei South District Customer Service Center, combining power distribution with educational and public engagement functions.

Exhibition Highlights

Taiwan Power Company (Taipower) developed D/S ONE as the island’s first green energy brand, brought to life through ENERGYM, POWERLAB, and GALLERY. Over the past five years, the exhibition has transformed abstract concepts of power into accessible experiences featuring renewable energy education, interactive displays, and smart electricity systems.

More than 330,000 visitors have attended the exhibition. A key feature is the VR six-axis robotic arm experience, with its latest theme, “Hydropower Plant VR Green Energy.” Since its launch, over 25,000 people have participated in the VR experience.
