Delta Calls for Enhanced Energy Efficiency as New
Agreement on Climate Change Draws Near
Paris – December 11, 2015 – Delta Group, a global leader in power and
thermal management solutions, actively participated in the COP21 UN Climate
Conference held in Paris. As international climate negotiations are drawing to a
close, Delta hosted a UN side conference with the theme of energy
conservation. Delta and its partners such as MIT, China Renewable Energy
Society, India’s The Energy and Resources Institute (TERI) and Taiwan’s
Industrial Technology Research Institute joined together to remind the world to
invest more resources in enhancing energy efficiency to control the CO2 in the
atmosphere, so that the earth’s temperature rises by less than 2°C.
Mr. Bruce Cheng, Delta Group founder and honorary chairman, stated, “Over
forty years, Delta has worked to improve the energy efficiency of switching
power supplies from 60% to over 90%. From 2010 to 2014, our products’
energy-efficiency improvements have saved the world 14.8 billion kWh of
electricity. The green buildings which Delta has constructed have improved
their energy savings from 30% to 50% over the past ten years. Today, the new
Delta Americas headquarters has even reached net zero energy consumption.
In addition, the power intensity (electricity consumed per product value) of our
major manufacturing plants has decreased by 50% over the past 5 years. All
stand as a testament to the immense carbon emissions reduction potential of
energy conservation.” Cheng also pointed out that, “If Delta can achieve this,
we are sure that other companies can too. If these efforts are matched with the
implementation of appropriate policies, they will prove to be crucial in the efforts
to slow global warming.”
Chairman of Delta Electronics, Mr. Yancey Hai also stated that, “According to
the IEA reports, the key to controlling carbon emissions is improving energy
efficiency. Delta’s long term R&D and innovation investments in power
electronics technology ensures that our server power, telecom power, and
photovoltaic inverter energy conversion efficiency rates are now the best in the
world. Delta has also proactively promised to raise the energy efficiency in our
factories, office buildings and data centers significantly this year, so that the
group’s electricity intensity will decrease by 30% before 2020.”

Delta has organized an official side conference with the theme of energy
conservation during the COP21 conference in Paris, to emphasize the
importance of energy conservation to each nation’s representatives at the
negotiations. Vice President for Research at MIT, Maria T. Zuber, Chair of the
China Renewable Energy Society Shi Ding-huan, Associate Director of TERI,
Shirish S. Garud and Senior Consultant of the Industrial Technology Research
Institute (ITRI), Yang Jih-Chang, were all invited to attend this conference. They
support the idea that energy conservation and improvements in energy
efficiency will be the most important part of carbon emissions reductions in both
developed and emerging nations after the new international climate agreement
is produced. This is a direction where corporations, academic organizations,
and governments should actively invest resources into the future.
During the conference, Zuber explained the “Plan for Action on Climate
Change” established by the university, stating that energy conservation
technology is an integral part of MIT’s future development which requires
immediate efforts from the government, corporations and research
organizations. Chairman of the China Renewable Energy Society, Shi
Ding-huan, mentioned that the enhancement and application of energy
conservation technology holds a pivotal influence in improving the power
consumption of China’s existing architecture. However, this will require the full
support of governments around the world. Dr. Garud from TERI, India, felt that
while India may be able to avoid the path of “polluting first, prevention later”, this
will require rapid investment and carbon funding from the rest of the world.
This international climate negotiation is scheduled to produce a document
bound by international law at noon, December 12th Taiwan time, but the
conference may be extended by a day or two.
