HYES Breakthrough with “Verifiable Energy Saving”: Shaping a New Industrial Sustainability Model from Efficiency to Carbon Reduction

As electricity prices rise and international carbon regulations intensify, Taiwan’s manufacturing sector is reaching a critical operational turning point: how to reduce energy costs without compromising production capacity. HYES, a specialist in energy technology, has identified three major pain points for enterprises: “Is saving possible?”, “How much can be saved?”, and “Will it affect production?” By launching an integrated energy-saving solution centered on Power Quality, HYES has successfully attracted an increasing number of major industrial manufacturers.
KAI-YI CHANG, Founder and Chairman of HYES, points out that many factories in Taiwan are commonly affected by high-order harmonics, three-phase imbalance, and voltage surges. Even if equipment appears to be running normally, it often operates in a “hidden high-load” state, leading to unnecessarily high energy consumption. “It’s not always that the equipment is old; sometimes the power quality is poor,” KAI-YI CHANG says, highlighting a fundamental issue that many companies overlook.
“Cleaning up your electricity is more cost-effective than buying new equipment,” says KAI-YI CHANG. HYES has introduced patented reactor filtering technologies from China and the U.S., designed not to suppress the meter, but to improve overall power quality. By reducing high-order harmonics and surges, motors, inverters, and electronic components operate more stably, naturally leading to a decrease in power consumption.
In the past, the industry often equated energy saving with equipment replacement. However, HYES’s approach begins with “Power Treatment.” By optimizing power quality, companies can achieve energy savings without replacing existing machinery or disrupting production schedules—a key reason why the firm has gained significant traction in recent years.
The energy-saving effectiveness has been tested by multiple listed companies, achieving reduction rates of 12% to 18%. These results are verified by international standards such as IPMVP through third-party organizations like SGS and ICAS. “What enterprises need is not a ‘feeling’ of saving, but ‘provable’ savings,” KAI-YI CHANG emphasizes.
Energy Baseline as the Deciding Factor: Beyond Electricity, Understanding the Factory Floor HYES’s service begins with establishing an Energy Baseline, recording energy consumption under normal production conditions. Unlike simple data collection, the team dives deep into the production site to consult with plant management.
KAI-YI CHANG recalls an instance where an electronics plant’s baseline model failed to align with production output. It was eventually discovered that the production statistics included defective products. After adjusting the parameters, the model’s accuracy improved significantly, making the energy-saving benefits truly credible. Beyond improving power quality, HYES also integrates EMS/BMS (Energy/Building Management Systems), solar energy, green power procurement, carbon footprint verification, and government subsidy applications, helping factories transition from “power saving” to “carbon reduction.”
Facing the implementation of CBAM, supply chain audits, and domestic carbon fees, KAI-YI CHANG emphasizes that companies are no longer just asking “Can we save money?” but “Can we stay compliant?” HYES’s verifiable energy-saving data has become a crucial credential for companies undergoing supply chain reviews.
Therefore, the next phase of energy conservation is not about buying hardware, but about “Power Management.” KAI-YI CHANG concludes: “When companies see their power become ‘cleaner’ and equipment efficiency naturally increase, they realize that energy efficiency is not a cost—it is a core competitiveness.”
