Chiayi Aquavoltaics Harvest: TCC Pioneers Traceability for Local Fish Farmers

Office of Responsibility and Sustainability

Aligned with government policy, TCC Green Energy’s Aquavoltaics site in Chiayi is thriving with a bountiful Q4 harvest. This success proves the site delivers both renewable energy and premium fishery products, while driving local co-prosperity by empowering young fishermen to return home.

Dispelling Myths: Proving the Viability of Aquavoltaics

TCC Green Energy pointed out that harvesting at its Chiayi Phase I site began in late November, yielding over 21,000 pounds of barramundi and milkfish from three ponds. This success reflects the team's professional expertise in low stocking density and probiotic-based farming. Distributors confirmed that rigorous water management ensured the fish met high market standards for health and quality, proving Aquavoltaics is a stable source of premium fishery products.

Probiotic Farming: Sustainable for Both Environment and Health

TCC Green Energy collaborated with Professors Ying-Tang Huang and Feng-Jie Su from the Department of Marine Biotechnology at National Kaohsiung University of Science and Technology (NKUST), alongside Ali Innovation team, to guide aquaculture farmers. The adoption of a "scientific probiotic farming model" was pivotal in ensuring the premium quality and health of the harvest. These probiotics effectively decompose organic pollutants, stabilize water quality, and promote intestinal health in fish and shrimp, successfully replacing the reliance on medication common in traditional aquaculture.

Giving the Catch an Identity: Chiayi's First Aquavoltaics Traceability Certification

 

To truly practice Aquavoltaics, TCC Green Energy upholds the spirit of "prioritizing people". Instead of applying for a single collective certificate under its corporate name, TCC Green Energy is guiding every and youth-returning fish farmers to obtain independent traceability certification by June 2026. In active response to the Ministry of Agriculture's policy on transparency in food safety and sanitation, this site has become Chiayi County's first Aquavoltaics demonstration zone to implement traceability certification.

 

 

Diversifying Aquaculture: Co-creating a Sustainable Future with Youth Fish Farmers

In 2026, TCC Green Energy will expand its fishponds to cultivate high-value species like marble goby and mangrove crabs. The company will also allocate premium zones to provide entrepreneurial opportunities for youth-returning fish farmers. By upholding "local co-prosperity," this initiative establishes a sustainable paradigm where "organic fishery products and green power coexist."
