Taiwan energy report

• Institutions & Energy Policy

  The Bureau of Energy (BOE) of the Ministry of Economic Affairs (MOEA) is in charge of the energy sector.

• Energy Companies

  Electricity:

  Taiwan Power Company (Taipower) is the national electricity company (96.92% state owned).

• Energy Supply

  Resources:

  Taiwan's fossil resources are very limited.

• Energy Prices

  Oil:

  Premium gasoline and diesel prices increased from 2016 until 2018 by 22%/year each. Prices in 2019 were US$0.83/l for both gasoline and diesel (2019), while the price of motor fuels is about half that in Japan.

• Energy Consumption

  The country's total consumption per capita reached 4.6 toe in 2019, which is 60% higher than the European average (2.9 toe in 2019). Electricity consumption per capita is around 10 600 kWh.

  Total consumption increased slightly from 2012 to 2018 (0.3%/year on average). It decreased by 2.4% in 2019 to 110 Mtoe.

• Issues & Prospects

  Electricity:

  Taipower's long-term Power Development Programme foresees growth in electricity consumption of 5%/year, the installation of 20 GW in large thermal capacity additions from 2017 until 2028, and 14.5 GW of retirements (11.5 GW of thermal and 3 GW of nuclear).

In the Taiwan energy market report you will find the following tables:

• Economic Indicators: Annual historical data including population, GDP growth, imports and exports, inflation rate, energy security and efficiency indicators, CO₂ emissions.
• Supply Indicators: Historical data including oil and gas reserves, electric and refining capacity, energy production, power production and external trade. All are detailed by energy source
• Demand Indicators: Historical data including consumption per inhabitant, consumption trends, total consumption by energy source, final consumption by energy source and sector, and electricity consumption by sector.
• Energy Balances: Single table displaying the overall energy industry balance per annum, also graphically displayed by energy sub-segment.

The Taiwan energy market data since 1990 and up to 2019 is included in the Excel file accompanying the Taiwan country report.
It showcases the historical evolution, allowing users to easily work with the data.

Key Data included in the excelsheet:

• Economic indicators: Annual historical economic indicators, energy security, energy efficiency and CO₂ emissions.
• Supply indicators: Annual historical reserves, capacity, production and external trade (imports(+) exports(-) balance).
• Demand indicators: Annual historical consumption per capita, consumption trends, total consumption, final consumption (per energy and per sector) and electricity consumption total and per sector.
• Energy Balance: total and per energy.
• Taiwan Energy Prices: In addition to the analysis provided on the report we also provided a data set which includes historical details on the Taiwan energy prices for the follow items: price of premium gasoline (taxes incl.), price of diesel (taxes incl.), price of electricity in industry (taxes incl.), price of electricity for households (taxes incl.), price of natural gas in industry (taxes incl.), prices of natural gas for households (taxes incl.), spot price of Brent and CO₂ emissions (from fuel combustion).
