Taiwan has been gradually phasing out nuclear energy, with plans to shut down its last reactor in 2025. The island once relied on nuclear power for a significant portion of its electricity, but concerns over safety, waste disposal, and seismic risks have led to a shift toward renewable energy. However, Taiwan’s growing energy demands, especially from its semiconductor industry, have sparked debates about whether nuclear power should remain part of the energy mix. While the government remains committed to a nuclear-free future, recent legislative changes allow for the extension of existing nuclear plants’ operations, keeping the discussion alive. Find out where the country’s nuclear sites are located, and what goes on at each of them, on our interactive map of Taiwanese nuclear sites.
