MACKAY MEMORIAL HOSPITAL OPTIMIZES ENERGY MANAGEMENT AND SUPPORTS THE ENERGY TRANSITION VIA ENEL X'S VIRTUAL POWER PLANT
TAIPEI, June 10, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- MacKay Memorial Hospital, a leading institution in Taiwan's healthcare sector, is taking a significant step toward its sustainability goals by joining Enel X Taiwan's Virtual Power Plant (VPP) - the largest Demand Response VPP in the country. Through this collaboration, MacKay Hospital will contribute its flexible energy demand to the Taiwan Power Company's Energy Trading Platform, supporting grid stability and the broader energy transition. Enabled by Enel X's advanced energy solutions, the partnership will help the hospital optimize energy efficiency, meet national energy-saving policies, and further its strong commitment to ESG and sustainability leadership. According to the '2024 Non-Production Sector Energy Audit Annual Report', hospitals accounted for the highest proportion of energy consumption among Taiwan's non-production sectors in 2023, reaching 15.97%[1]. Given hospitals' high emphasis on electricity safety and their meticulous power planning to ensure the stability and continuity of medical services, how to balance safety with sustainability has become a crucial issue that major medical institutions cannot ignore. Roger Chen, Head of Enel X Taiwan, explained, "Participating in Demand Response Ancillary Services in the Energy Trading Platform via a Virtual Power Plant is an extremely suitable energy management option for hospitals. With flexible participation hours, the program is best suited to institutions that operate 24-7. When responding to grid dispatch events, the actual reduction in electricity consumption can be recognized as measurable energy-saving performance. In addition, the revenue generated from participating in the electricity market can help offset rising electricity costs and be reinvested into other sustainability initiatives." In the future, during times of grid stress, MacKay Hospital will be able to temporarily reduce energy use from non-essential equipment within ten minutes. Enel X's Virtual Power Plant will aggregate this flexibility alongside other commercial and industrial Demand Response resources, delivering it to the grid as a single, coordinated resource. This helps to enhance grid resilience and support a stable, reliable power supply . Chang Wen-han, Superintendent of MacKay Memorial Hospital, stated, "MacKay Hospital has always prioritized social responsibility and sustainable development. Our goal is not only to provide high quality medical care, but also to actively support the transition to net-zero and to set the standard for other medical centers. As summer brings peak electricity demand, hospitals must consider more effective energy-saving strategies and promote the renewable energy development in order to demonstrate their commitment to energy conservation." Roger Chen, Head of Enel X Taiwan, said, "We are delighted to have MacKay Hospital join our ranks. As power supply shifts from centralized to distributed generation, every energy user plays an important role in stabilizing the grid and promoting the development of renewable energy. With the right Virtual Power Plant, even hospitals – where power reliability is critical – can safely participate in the energy market without compromising operations. We encourage all major energy users to unlock the value of their existing assets, take advantage of opportunities in the energy market, and "contribute to a more resilient and sustainable energy future." Enel X is currently the largest power aggregator of Demand Response Resources in the Energy Trading Platform, with over 200MW of aggregated capacity - equivalent to the electricity load of 80,000 households. Looking ahead, Enel X plans to continue expanding this capacity and, in line with market trends, support users in participating in the energy market through behind-the-meter energy storage systems. Enel X Global Retail is Enel Group's business line dedicated to customers around the world with the aim of effectively providing products and services based on their energy needs and encouraging them towards a more conscious and sustainable use of energy. A world leader in the field of energy supply, energy management services, and electric mobility to foster electrification, it accompanies all of its customers through their energy transition, developing value-creating solutions. Enel X Global Retail offers an ecosystem of sustainable, efficient, easy-to-find, personalized products and services built around customer needs.

Revolutionizing Healthcare: Ubitus and MacKay Memorial Hospital Present AI Robot Collaboration at GTC Taiwan
Taipei, Taiwan: Ubitus, a global leader in cloud streaming and AI solutions, announced its collaboration with MacKay Memorial Hospital to unveil AI-powered multi-modal medical robots at NVIDIA GTC Taiwan 2025. The presentation, 'AI-Enabled Healthcare: Multi-Modal Robot Collaboration Inspired by MacKay's Case Study,' will highlight how NVIDIA technologies— NVIDIA Blackwell GPUs, NVIDIA Omniverse, NVIDIA Isaac GR00T, NVIDIA ACE, and NVIDIA Jetson AGX Orin—are transforming smart healthcare through automation, improved patient care, and enhanced efficiency. This press release features multimedia. View the full release here: key visual image Three AI-Driven Medical Robots Redefining Healthcare Operations As part of the collaboration, Ubitus and MacKay Memorial Hospital have co-developed three intelligent robots designed for various medical applications, combining NVIDIA's cutting-edge technologies with proprietary AI models: AMR Robot: Equipped with a virtual assistant, this robot provides patient navigation, interactive companionship, and registration assistance, offering a more seamless and personalized patient journey. Humanoid Robot: Built on NVIDIA Isaac GR00T N1, the humanoid robot features advanced dual-arm manipulation, enabling autonomous specimen transport and material handling in unmanned settings to boost logistics efficiency. Quadruped Robot: Built on NVIDIA Jetson AGX Orin and integrating NVIDIA Isaac GR00T ReMemBr and NVIDIA Isaac GR00T X-mobility technologies, this robot navigates high-risk, hard-to-reach areas to perform environmental monitoring— including gas detection, thermal sensing, and water leakage detection— transmitting real-time data to reduce healthcare risks. Each robot uses the NVIDIA Blackwell GPUs with the Llama 4 large language model and NVIDIA Riva to enable natural, multilingual interactions. The virtual assistant uses NVIDIA ACE digital human technologies to enhance patient engagement with customizable avatars, offering emotional support, health education, and companionship for a more empathetic care experience. Virtual-Physical Integration Speeds Deployment The project utilized NVIDIA Omniverse and NVIDIA Isaac Sim to simulate hospital environments, enabling virtual testing, collaboration, and task training prior to deployment. This virtual-physical integration minimized pre-deployment risks and costs while significantly shortening deployment timelines and optimizing operational workflows.
