A Formosa Files INTERVIEW: Manuel Tsao Talks to Eryk About the 100+ Year Old Jhuzimen Hydro Power Plant - 竹仔門發電廠

The Jhuzimen Hydro Power Plant (竹仔門發電廠) was built by the colonial
Japanese authorities in 1908 -- in what's now Meinung District
(美濃區), Kaohsiung City. Manuel Tsao is a German national in the
renewable energy business who has lived in Taiwan for over 15
years. But before coming here, he spent time in Japan -- and
speaks Japanese fluently. And, while in Japan, Manuel became
somewhat of an expert on the Jhuzimen Hydro Power Plant -- now
called the Jhumen Unit of Kaohsiung/Ping-tung Power Plant of
Taiwan Power Company (高屏發電廠竹門機組). Hear the story of this
still-operating power plant, and learn a bit more about renewable
energy in Taiwan from Manuel, in this special Formosa Files
INTERVIEW.
