Taiwan plans to install 8.2 GW of PV and offshore wind power by the end of 2026, according to reports from state news agency CNA.
The MoEA has set a target as part of its new wind and solar energy improvement plan, aimed at accelerating the deployment of both energy sources.
Economic Affairs Minister Guo Zhihui said Taiwan generated 14.926 billion kWh of solar energy in 2024.
The Energy Administration reported that the capacity of Taiwan’s solar power plant is 14.22 GW, leaving about 6 GW to reach the 20 GW target by 2026. To avoid future delays, the ministry plans to set clear quarterly targets for all public construction projects and announce performance results. every three months.
The MoEA announced at the beginning of this year feed-in tariffs for solar systems up to 10 kW in size will be maintained at TWD5.7055 ($0.17)/kWh, in an effort to support further deployment.
