TAIPEI – November 09, 2026 -- Delta Electronics is joining its 19th consecutive UN climate conference, COP31 in Antalya, Türkiye, where it will back the host country's "35x35" initiative targeting 35% electrification by 2035. The company will show how smart microgrids can speed up that transition at an official side event.
Delta hosts its 9th official COP side event with REA and DBU
The session takes place in the Blue Zone. Delta is joined by the Association for Renewable Energy and Clean Technology (REA) and the German Federal Environmental Foundation (DBU) to exchange insights on microgrid applications. Delta will also present its experience deploying microgrids in Indigenous communities to strengthen disaster resilience.
Delta's EMEA leadership and Delta Electronics Foundation staff will also take part in discussions at the France Pavilion. The company is running the events under the theme "Smarter is Greener."
Renewables supplied 91% of Delta's global electricity in 2025
Renewable electricity accounted for 91% of Delta's global consumption in 2025. The company reached its RE100 target in 32 countries. Shan-Shan Guo, Vice Chairperson of the Delta Electronics Foundation, said rising electrification and AI-driven power demand are pushing Delta to apply microgrids and smart energy management. The company also aims to help AI data centers draw more clean energy.
Delta and IUCN apply STAR metric to coral restoration for the first time
At CBD COP17 in late October, Delta and the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) presented what they describe as the world's first application of the Species Threat Abatement and Restoration (STAR) metric to coral restoration and conservation assessment. Delta applied the methodology to coral reef areas in Kenting, Taiwan. It calibrated the results against IUCN's global database to align its restoration methods with international standards.
Delta presented the research at the Nature Pavilion, a flagship venue hosted by IUCN. Wim Chang, CEO of the Delta Electronics Foundation, said quantifying threats to species survival makes conservation outcomes "more measurable and credible." Delta aims to preserve more than half of the coral species in the Pacific Ocean by 2030.
Nicholas Macfarlane, Head of Conservation Science and Technology at IUCN, called the project proof of the potential of corporate-science partnerships in marine biodiversity.
Coral reef resilience discussed with Plymouth Marine Laboratory and ICRS
Delta also hosted a side event at the Ocean Pavilion with Professor David Obura, lead author of the coral chapter of the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species. Participants included the UK's Plymouth Marine Laboratory (PML) and the International Coral Reef Society (ICRS). They discussed ways to strengthen coral reef resilience.
Delta has attended COP summits 22 times and 43 side events
Delta has participated in two COP summits 22 times. It has hosted or been invited to 43 side events to date. The company is celebrating its 55th anniversary this year.
