Solar power in Taiwan

Solar potential of Taiwan

Taiwan government plans to build 6.5 GW solar power stations before 2020 and a total of 20 GW by 2025.[1]

History

Early research indicated that there are strong solar energy potential in all country. [2][3] Further research published in 2022 pointed out that Taipei City as the area with the weakest solar irradiance, the solar energy potential on the rooftop is still beneficial and can compete the energy consumption in certain circumstances.[4]

In 2012, the Million Rooftop Photo Voltaic and Thousand Wind Turbines programs were initiated. In 2014, the Rising Green Energy Industry Program was also initiated.[5]

Here is a table showing the growth of solar power capacity and generation in Taiwan since 2000.

Statistics

Taiwan's installed solar power capacity and generation in recent years is shown in the table below:[6]
