The Chiayi Saltland Power Plant is one of Formosa Solar's landmark projects. From being awarded the tender of this project in 2017 untill the grid connection in 2018, Ye Heng Power Co., Ltd., one of subsidiaries of Formosa Solar, is committed to perform regular ecological survey and monitoring over the life of the project.
In order to realize the co-existence and co-prosperity of PV farms and ecology, Formosa Solar immediately started an ecological survey in collaboration with a team from Tunghai University after successfully bidding for a contract. Based on the ecological survey result, the project site was designed and planned to reserve 30% of the land for building ecological detention ponds. Formosa Solar further endeavored to maintain local landforms and topology and even stopped the construction work during the bird breeding season. After the project was completed, the Education and Training Center within the site also became a venue to the locals for bird-watching, recreation, and education. This represents a realization of harmonious co-existence between the PV site and ecology.
