| dc.description.abstract | Following the ESG trend, worldwide people focus on developing renewable green energy. The solar energy and the wind energy are the main developmental directions. While solar energy requires sufficient land, Taiwan only is a small island with a high population density. However, Taiwan has the advantage of peak sun hour (PSH) in the south for developing solar PV farms. In order to meet the land requirement, fish ponds become a main selection. In the meantime, fishery and electricity symbiosis starts to be a high-profile subject. The industry chain of the fishery and electricity symbiosis includes electric companies who invest the money, land developer who merge the fish ponds, service providers who assist to submit the application for administrative procedure, design planning consulting firms, engineering procurement construction (EPC) suppliers, aquaculture companies, etc. Once a fishery and electricity symbiosis project has completed the trial operation, there would be the business of selling electricity and aquaculture management left. All the major operating activities of any company always emphasize the importance of sustainable development. Then, the performance of the business of selling electricity is based on the evaluation of the investment analysis. As for the aquaculture management, it would be the key factor that contributes to the success of the fishery and electricity symbiosis project if the fish farming could be sustainably developed independently.
Taking GGT Company as an example, it was created as a land developer for an electric company. Regarding the current situation of solar power plant in Taiwan, in addition to land development, it requires application assistance, design planning and EPC as well. To reach the sustainable development for fishery and electricity symbiosis and corporate sustainability, GGT Company is going to have a business transformation into new business model that combines with both fish farming and aquaculture management. We conducted analysis with Business Model Canvas by participant observation and literature review to examine whether the new business model is worth to invest and develop. The case and the related aquaculture company would be provided for reference.
The research shows that our case, GGT Company, has reached the goal of corporate sustainability through running the business of fish farming and aquaculture management business. Within the development of the fishery and electricity symbiosis, apart from the renewable green energy, the quality of the fish ponds could be improved significantly by the investment from the electric company. The intelligent aquaculture can enhance the percentage of fish breeding rate, thus reducing the financial burden of fishers and compensating the loss by acts of God to fishers. Overall, the fishery and electricity symbiosis creates a win-win situation by collaborating closely among leaseholders, electric companies, fish farming and aquaculture management companies and fishers. | en_US |
