TSMC’s new 5-nanometer plant consumes more electricity than the population of 560,000 in Eastern Taiwan, and its new 3-nanometer plant consumes more electricity than Tainan City’s annual residential and commercial electricity consumption. It’s like an electricity-eating monster.

TSMC 5 The electricity consumption of TSMC’s new nano plant exceeds the electricity consumption of the population of 56 in Eastern Taiwan. 3 The electricity consumption of TSMC’s new nano plant is more than Tainan City’s annual domestic and commercial electricity consumption. It is like eating a Electric monster.

TSMC plans to enter green energy and build its own solar power plants. According to people familiar with the matter, this is because TSMC used 13 billion kilowatt-hours of electricity last year, but just for the 5nm that will be mass-produced in the first quarter of next year, the electricity consumption is more than Taiwan's electricity consumption is even greater with a population of 560,000.

plus 3nm, which will start construction at the end of the year, are expected to be mass-produced in 2022. The annual electricity consumption will reach 7.7 billion kilowatt-hours, which is equivalent to 59.23% of the total electricity consumption last year, and exceeds Tainan City’s annual domestic and commercial electricity consumption. , electricity consumption is close to 3% of Taiwan’s total, and its growth rate is like an electricity-eating monster.

If TSMC’s Pingtung power plant plan comes true, it will become Taiwan’s largest solar power plant. At present, Taiwan's largest solar power plant is Taipower's Changbin Optoelectronics, with an installation capacity of 100,000 kilowatts. The Tainan Qigu Yantian, which is expected to be completed next year, will be 150,000 kilowatts. In the future, if the TSMC Pingtung solar power plant is completed, the power generation capacity will be It is 12.3 times that of Changbin Optoelectronics.

Taiwan’s Economic Sector Renewable Energy Development Regulations require large electricity consumers like TSMC to use green electricity for a certain proportion of actual electricity consumption in the future. Seeing that the use of green electricity is imperative, Liu Deyin therefore actively evaluates the development and construction of solar energy. For power plants, Pingtung, the southernmost location in Taiwan with the longest sunshine hours, is the most ideal location for building a power plant.
