Southern and Central parks had far higher electricity-load intensity than Hsinchu.
Science parks are not just employment clusters; they are power-intensive industrial systems. Electricity load per employee highlights where production is most energy dense. Southern and Central parks look far more power-intensive per worker than Hsinchu in the latest tracker, which aligns with their advanced manufacturing footprint. The live-tracker caveat matters because load data and employment data update on different schedules.

Electricity-load data and employee counts use National Science and Technology Council tracker tables. This is load per employee, not annual kilowatt-hours per employee.
Aggregate National Science and Technology Council electricity-load values across sub-parks within Hsinchu, Central and Southern Science Parks. Convert the source unit of 10,000 kW into kW, then divide by the latest employee count for each major park.
Both numerator and denominator come from NSTC official trackers, but electricity and employee tables are live and may have different reporting dates.
