The club was founded in 1978 and is affiliated with Taiwan Power, the country's national utility company.

Nicknamed Nan-Ba-Tien (Chinese: 南霸天, lit. Southern Overlord), Taipower^[1] are the most successful football club in Taiwan, having won 14 league titles, notably in 10 consecutive seasons from 1994 to 2004. With the exits of Flying Camel and Taipei City Bank F.C. in the late 1990s, Taipower and Tatung F.C. are the only two remaining football clubs never relegated from Taiwan Football Premier League.
