MOEA reports day peak load rose 3.5% and night peak load rose 3.2% in 2024.
Taiwan’s peak-load numbers show the demand pressure behind grid planning. Both day and night peaks rose in 2024, with the night peak supported by an 11.0% reserve margin in the MOEA report. The production graphic uses a two-year before/after view because a longer official peak-load series was not extracted for this batch.
