With the increasing global energy demand and growing environmental awareness, companies in the power industry should prioritize environmental protection. As a manufacturer of cable accessories, MELEC has always placed great importance on energy conservation and emission reduction in company operation and has certified by ISO14001. Specific measures are as follows.
Utilizing clean energy and reducing reliance on traditional energy. MELEC has implemented the installation of solar PV power generation and new energy charging piles. Since 2020, the company has invested in 2 MW of PV panels installed on the factory roof. Additionally, MELEC encourages employees to commute by free shuttle buses or drive new energy vehicles by providing charging facilities.
Introducing high-efficiency production equipment to enhance productivity. Regular maintenance is performed on older equipment to increase production capacity while minimizing energy consumption.
Optimize production processes to reduce overall costs and energy usage. The traditional pickling method for surface decontamination of some cable lugs and connectors, which involves nitric acid known for its strong oxidation and corrosion that pose risks to both environment and human health, has been replaced by grinding (ultrasonic cleaning + steel needle deburring + drying) and vibration (friction deburring with a small amount of sand or steel balls + cleaning).
Moreover, MELEC also provides accommodation for employees along with unified tableware and daily necessities to avoid unnecessary resource waste. Usually, the administrative department also publicize knowledge such as "Common Sense of Safe Electricity Use" and "Tips for Saving Electricity" among all employees.
In the future, MELEC will further implement the concept of environmental protection, increase investment in environmental protection, continue to develop clean energy, reduce energy consumption, to achieve the sustainable development goal of the enterprise.
