Overview
Taiwan is advancing its energy transition with ambitious targets, including a 30% renewable share in its power mix by 2030 and net-zero emissions by 2050. Key policies focus on phasing out nuclear, expanding gas and renewables, and enhancing energy efficiency, supported by regulatory reforms and infrastructure investments.
Get more details on the table of contents and data files, as well as the list of graphs and tables by browsing the tabs below.
Highlights
- Taiwan plans to reach a share of 30% of renewables in its power mix and to phase out nuclear in 2030.
- It targets a 30% reduction in GHG emissions in 2030 compared to 2005.
- Two state-owned companies dominate the energy sector: Taipower for power (with around 2/3 of total generation) and CPC for hydrocarbons.
- The share of gas in the power mix is increasing rapidly (43% in 2024, +18 pp since 2010), to the detriment of coal (-11 pp).
- Solar capacity is increasing rapidly (2 GW/year since 2020) and solar now has a share of 5% of the power mix.
- Gasoline and diesel prices declined slightly in 2024, while gas and electricity prices rose for industries.
- Motor fuel prices are about 25% lower than in Japan.
- The 5.5 GW Taichung coal-fired power plant will be decommissioned by 2034.
Energy & Climate Policy Framework
The Energy Administration (formerly known until 2023 as the Bureau of Energy or BOE) of the Ministry of Economic Affairs (MOEA) is in charge of the energy sector.
Energy Companies
Gas:
CPC produced 0.68 bcm of natural gas in 2024 (0.59 bcm of which overseas).
CPC owns the country's two LNG terminals, Yong-An (or Yung-An) (12 Mt/year) and Taichung (6 Mt/year). It also owns the gas transmission and distribution system in western Taiwan (2 278 km of pipelines with 48 distribution stations as of 2024).
Energy Supply & Demand
Resources:
Taiwan's fossil resources are very limited, with reserves of 0.3 Mt of crude oil, 1.5 bcm of gas and 1 Mt of coal in 2024.
Energy Use and Price by Sector
Energy Prices in Transport:
Gasoline and diesel prices declined slightly in 2024 (to US$0.94/l for gasoline and US$0.85/l for diesel). They also declined slightly in 2023, after having experienced a sharp rise in 2021 (+20% and +27%, respectively) and a stabilisation in 2022. Previously, premium gasoline and diesel prices increased from 2016 until 2018 by 3%/year each.
Issues & Prospects
Electricity:
In 2025, Taiwan released its national electricity forecast and long-term development plans. The government projects 1.7% annual growth in electricity demand through 2034 and a net addition of 12.2 GW of gas-fired capacity.
