Highlights
- Taiwan plans a share of 20% of renewables in its capacity mix by 2025.
- The nuclear phase-out by 2025 is confirmed following a 2021 referendum.
- Taipower holds 60% of the power capacity. CPC dominates the hydrocarbon sector.
- Coal represents nearly half of the power mix, but its share has been declining since 2010.
- The solar capacity is increasing rapidly (1.7 GW/year since 2019). All the crude oil needs are imported, with around half from the Middle East.
- Fuel prices are about two times lower than in Japan.
- Oil and coal represent 60% of the final energy consumption.
- Electricity consumption per capita is 3 times higher than the Asian average.
- The 5.5 GW Taichung coal power plant will be decommissioned by 2035.

Abstract
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:
Gasoline and diesel prices rose in 2021 by 25% and 30%, respectively, nearly reaching their pre-pandemic levels: US$74c/l for gasoline, and US$77c/l for diesel. In 2020, these prices dropped by 29% due to the global crisis. Previously, premium gasoline and diesel prices increased from 2016 until 2018 by 2.7%/year each.
Energy Consumption
The country's total consumption per capita reached 4.7 toe in 2021, which is over three times higher than the Asian average (1.5 toe). Electricity consumption per capita is also 3 times higher than the regional average, at around 11 300 kWh (2021).
Issues & Prospects
Gas:
MOEA plans to increase the deployment of LNG with new LNG terminals.

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.
- Infrastructure Projects: Covers power plant projects by energy, technology, status and operator.
The Taiwan energy market data since 1990 and up to 2021 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).
The Taiwan country report is complemented with a national power generation dashboard (excel file) from our Power Plant Tracker Service.
