Renewable energy in Taiwan

Renewable energy technology exhibition in Taiwan in 2007

Renewable energy in Taiwan contributed to 8.7% of national electricity generation as of end of 2013.[1] The total installed capacity of renewable energy in Taiwan by the end of 2013 was 3.76 GW.[2][3]

As of 2021, Taiwan had set a target to generate 20% of its energy from renewable sources by 2025, an increase from the 5% achieved in 2020. This plan is part of a broader policy to reduce coal usage, enhance the use of liquefied natural gas (LNG), and transition towards a "nuclear-free homeland." The strategy includes adding 5.7 GW of offshore wind power and increasing solar energy capacity to 20 GW by 2025.[4]
