Credited from: SCMP

  • Taiwan is contemplating its energy future, deciding between phasing out its last nuclear power reactor or maintaining nuclear energy to meet rising demands for electricity.
  • The government is exploring options to build central nuclear waste storage facilities as the existing temporary ones are nearing their 40-year limit.
  • Despite aims for net zero carbon emissions by 2050, Taiwan's current energy mix relies heavily on fossil fuels, with over 80% of electricity derived from coal and gas.
  • While Taiwan moves toward renewable energy, including offshore wind power, there is a renewed discussion about incorporating nuclear power into its energy strategy.
  • The DPP government may reconsider its anti-nuclear stance, especially as increasing support for new nuclear technologies surfaces within political discourse.
