Thermal power supplied 81.3% of system generation.
Taiwan’s power mix shows the energy structure behind its electronics-heavy economy. In 2025, thermal generation still supplied 81.3% of Taipower-system electricity, while renewables reached 12.7% and nuclear fell to 1.2%. The mix helps quantify the current power-supply constraint behind manufacturing, emissions, import exposure and energy-security debates.
