Cathay FHC’s Three Arrows for Energy Transition: Renewable Energy Investment and Financing, Innovative Collaboration in Renewable Energy, and Leveraging Core Competencies to Innovate Services.

TAIPEI, June 28, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Sustainable finance boosts the competitiveness of achieving net-zero transformation. Yesterday (26th), Lee Chang-Ken, President of Cathay Financial Holdings (Cathay FHC), personally attended the “Climate Investment Summit” at the London Stock Exchange (LSEG), marking the second consecutive year he has been the only speaker from Taiwan. Building on the consensus of “Energy System Transformation and Moving Away from Fossil Fuels” reached at the 28th UN Climate Change Conference (COP28) in 2023, Lee used Asia as an example to discuss the challenges and solutions in promoting renewable energy, sharing Cathay FHC’s cross-industry efforts and tangible results in driving renewable energy initiatives. This demonstrated Taiwan’s financial sector’s success in achieving net-zero transformation on a global scale.

The “Climate Investment Summit” has been an iconic platform of global climate solutions, held at the historical financial hub of LSEG. Cathay FHC not only became the only Taiwanese financial institution invited to the summit again but also acted as a bridge for energy transition dialogue between Europe, America, and Asia. This signifies the international recognition of Taiwan’s financial industry’s commitment and achievements in energy transition. Lee participated in the summit’s discussion on “Renewable Returns: The Business Case for Mature Energy Technologies,” sharing how Cathay FHC supports the development of low-carbon industries through capital and innovative financial services. Cathay FHC has been recognized for two consecutive years as a global best practice case by the “Investor Agenda” for its “Investor Climate Action Plans” (ICAPs), making it the only selected asset owner in Asia.

During the panel, Lee pointed out the pain points and solutions for promoting renewable energy in Southeast Asia, shared the history of the Taiwanese government’s efforts in promoting renewable energy, and discussed Cathay FHC’s role as a pioneer in the field. Cathay FHC continues to lead intrial implementation, guiding the market to understand the feasibility. ‘We are also pleased to support various innovative models that will benefit the future,’ emphasizes Lee. It is noted that Asia is the main source of global electricity demand growth and still heavily relies on fossil fuels. Southeast Asian governments should continue to enhance policy stability and strengthen infrastructure, while making good use of financial tools such as guarantees or blended finance to improve the cost of capital and investment risks in emerging markets. They should also address just transition issues such as labor employment to ensure the success of the energy transition.

Cathay FHC is the sixth financial institution in Asia to set SBT validated by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). It has pledged to achieve net-zero carbon emissions in its financial assetsby 2050. Cathay FHC is also the first Taiwanese financial industry member of RE100 and a pioneer in renewable energy financing in Taiwan. In the fields of low-carbon transition and renewable energy innovation, Cathay FHC continues to lead in trial implementations, guiding the market to understand feasibility and becoming a key driver of renewable energy in Taiwan. In 2023, Cathay FHC’s renewable energy usage reached 17.95 million kWh, and by the end of 2023, the total amount of low-carbon investments and financing amounted to NT$330.5 billion (approximately equivalent to USD 11.7 billion).

Regarding Cathay FHC’ path to promoting renewable energy development, Lee outlined three major strategies. The first strategy involves “Enhancing Renewable Energy Investments and Financing.” In 2023, Cathay FHC’s total investments and financing in renewable energy reached NT$63.3 billion (approximately USD 2 billion), with a solar installation capacity of 1,504 MW. Cathay United Bank pioneered Taiwan’s first solar and offshore wind power financing; Cathay Life Insurance became Taiwan’s first life insurance company to establish the solar project investment firm “Cathay Power”. Recently, this company has been developing renewable energy on land deemed unsuitable for agriculture by the Ministry of Agriculture, fostering a mutually beneficial scenario for land revitalization and renewable energy development, while increasing power generation to meet market demand.

Secondly, Cathay FHC promotes “Innovative Collaboration in Renewable Energy.” Lee believes that Cathay FHC’s emphasis on stakeholders’ success, active attempts at collaborative innovation, and the pursuit of suitable directions to identify success stories are the reasons why Cathay FHC can continually overcome challenges and accelerate the development of renewable energy. For example, Cathay Power aims to systematically think about agrivoltaics, creating a standardized, scalable, and sustainable agrivoltaics model. The collaboration with the government to launch the “Agri-Light Project” agrivoltaics experiment in Dalin, Chiayi, is an innovative plan that integrates the cultivation of forge grass with photovoltaic technology. This initiative addresses several issues: it is expected to reduces Taiwan’s reliance on imported forage and mitigates the risks of instability of the international supply chain while avoiding negative impact on local agriculture. Furthermore, livestock manure can be utilized for biogas power generation, with the residue serving as organic fertilizer, thereby promoting balanced and circular agriculture in Taiwan.

Thirdly, Lee emphasized the importance of “Leveraging Core Competencies to Innovate Services.” Facing the numerous challenges climate change poses to businesses, Cathay FHC proactively seeks solutions by leveraging its core financial competencies to offer diverse, innovative services, turning challenges into opportunities. For example, Cathay Securities collaborated closely with Cathay FHC’ Digital Data & Technology Center(DDT)’s blockchain team to develop a Security Token Offering (STO) product, Taiwan’s first STO. The issuance involves a 6-year debt-based STO offering a 3.5% annual interest rate. Coupled with a preferential purchase mechanism for electric machinery, the overall investment return rate increases significantly, assisting green energy enterprises in raising funds from professional investors and giving investors more confidence. Small and medium-sized enterprises often struggle to independently purchase green power. As Taiwan’s largest commercial real estate owner, Cathay Life consolidates the purchase and distribution of green power, enabling our tenants to obtain it more efficiently. This approach plays a vital role in bridging the renewable energy supply-demand gap. In 2023, 18 enterprises received a total of 13.49 million kWh of green power.

Lee further stated that Cathay FHC is dedicated to collaborating with partners and customers from various sectors to explore more climate solutions together. On coming July 3rd, the annual “Cathay Sustainable Finance and Climate Change Summit,” will focus on net-zero solutions and sustainable finance. This summit will feature prominent experts and leading companies in sustainability, including Sam Kimmins, Director of Energy at the Climate Group, who will together share forward-looking perspectives and industry practices. The event aims to guide Taiwanese enterprises in accelerating climate action and showcasing Taiwan’s industrial achievements and commitment to net-zero goals on the global stage.

NetActuate Expands Networking Platform for the Independent, AI-Ready Edge, Adding Cloud Routers, Magic Mesh, Stateful Firewall, and VPC Load Balancing

Published

on

By

New capabilities give infrastructure teams hyperscaler-grade networking (Cloud Routers, Magic Mesh, a stateful Firewall, and VPC Load Balancing) with the visibility, control, and cloud independence to build on their own terms, not their provider’s.

RESEARCH TRIANGLE, N.C., June 16, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — NetActuate, a global provider of edge infrastructure and Anycast network solutions across 45+ markets worldwide, today announced a major expansion of its Networking platform. The release introduces Cloud Routers, Magic Mesh, stateful firewalling, and VPC Load Balancing, alongside a redesigned Networking portal that gives customers deeper visibility and full self-service control over their networking resources.

Three forces are reshaping how companies think about infrastructure. AI and real-time workloads are pushing compute, inference, and data closer to users and out to the edge. A growing cost-and-repatriation backlash is exposing the real price of hyperscaler lock-in and egress fees. And tightening data-sovereignty and geographic-compliance requirements are forcing teams to control where their traffic and data actually live. Each points the same direction: companies want infrastructure they own and operate on their own terms, with the routing, resilience, and DDoS protection to back it up. NetActuate’s expanded Networking platform is built for that shift.

“The hyperscaler era trained teams to trade control for convenience, and they’re done making that trade,” said Mark Mahle, CEO of NetActuate. “This release gives customers hyperscaler-grade networking primitives with none of the lock-in. They can architect exactly the network they need and run all of it from a single portal, with the transparency and flexibility that independent infrastructure demands.”

What’s New: Products and Platform Capabilities

Cloud Routers
Cloud Routers let customers deploy fully functional, web UI- and API-managed virtual routers, directly within the NetActuate platform. They support multiple VRFs natively, static and BGP routing, full SNAT and DNAT configuration, and WireGuard tunnels, and they integrate with any NetActuate service. That makes them especially powerful paired with VPC for BGP routing into third-party platforms, Internet Exchanges, or enterprise networks.

Magic Mesh
Magic Mesh interconnects two Cloud Routers with a single click, letting customers build their own overlay networks from the portal or API. Teams can stitch together sites across the NetActuate platform, or across other clouds entirely, to create private, multi-site networks without the manual configuration that usually comes with it. Cross-cloud mesh connectivity is supported out of the box.

Stateful Firewall
A fully stateful Layer 3 firewall is now available for NetActuate’s edge IaaS. Customers can define rule sets, assign them to virtual machines, and have firewalls apply automatically at deployment, all through the portal or API. The result is enterprise-grade network security that travels with the workload, without the per-feature billing and lock-in that come with the hyperscalers’ equivalents.

VPC Load Balancing
VPC Load Balancing lets customers deploy load balancers directly onto VPC resources, bringing traffic distribution and resilience to private cloud environments. It’s the first step on a roadmap toward edge balancers, load balancers deployable to any PoP or fronted by Anycast, that will distribute traffic across the full NetActuate platform and third-party infrastructure alike.

Enhanced BGP Features
The release also brings enhanced BYOIP/BGP unicast capabilities for customers on colocation, bare metal, or VM deployments who aren’t using the BGP Anycast platform. New automation includes on-demand IRR/RPKI updates and hundreds of BGP communities, fully automatable through NetActuate’s suite of DevOps tooling.

Visibility and Control in the Customer Portal
Every one of these capabilities is configurable, monitorable, and manageable from the NetActuate Customer Portal. The release reorganizes the Networking section around the expanded suite and adds new layers of observability: customers can pull analytics on any prefix, with group- and prefix-level views of inbound traffic, the busiest data centers and nodes, and full traffic-source detail.

Together, these capabilities give teams a complete, self-service way to stand up and run their own network infrastructure (unicast, BGP, or Anycast) on infrastructure they control. Take a closer look at the Networking platform and view the NetActuate Portal Demo Overview video.
