Taiwan Launches First Geothermal Tender for 6-Month Taitung Project as Nuclear Phaseout Deepens Energy Strain

1 articles · Updated · Heatmap · Jun 3

Taiwan’s Ministry of Economic Affairs has opened its first government-led geothermal tender, starting a six-month process to develop geothermal zones in Taitung County on the island’s southeast coast.
The move is aimed at diversifying power supply as Taiwan remains heavily dependent on imported fossil fuels to keep homes powered and semiconductor plants running.
That pressure intensified after the ruling Democratic Progressive Party completed Taiwan’s nuclear phaseout last year, shutting the last of the island’s three operating nuclear plants.
Taipei is now weighing whether to restart at least one older nuclear plant, while geothermal is emerging as a parallel effort to shore up energy security.
