Taiwan Charts Offshore Wind Growth to 18 GW by 2039 in New Energy Roadmap
Taiwan's Ministry of Economic Affairs released its 2026–2039 Offshore Wind Power Medium- and Long-Term Promotion Plan, targeting total installed capacity between 24.7 GW and 27.9 GW by 2039, up from around 4.9 GW today. The roadmap calls for adding 15-18 GW of new capacity through auctions held every four years, with around 8 GW per round. Installed capacity is projected to reach 18.3-19.9 GW by 2035 and a nearer-term goal of 10.9 GW by 2030. The expansion is driven by rising electricity demand from semiconductor and AI sectors and aims to cut exposure to volatile imported fuel prices.
