Taiwan’s Ministry of Economic Affairs (MOEA) has unveiled its 2026–2039 Offshore Wind Power Medium- and Long-Term Promotion Plan, setting out a clear roadmap for the future expansion of the country’s offshore wind sector.

With Taiwan’s electricity demand expected to grow by around 2.5% annually between 2026 and 2035, the government has assessed available sea space in collaboration with the Ministry of National Defense, Ministry of Transportation and Communications, and Ministry of Agriculture.

As part of the plan, Taiwan aims to add 15 GW to 18 GW of new offshore wind capacity, with 8 GW expected to be allocated over the next four years.

The government said the phased expansion will enable Taiwan to steadily increase installed capacity while supporting its long-term net zero emissions goals. The strategy is also designed to provide greater certainty for developers and investors by offering a clear development timeline and policy framework.

The MOEA plans to support the sector through a combination of policy measures, financial incentives, industrial development programmes and improved administrative efficiency. These initiatives are intended to attract further investment and strengthen Taiwan’s domestic offshore wind supply chain.

Progress is already underway. As of 10 July, Taiwan had installed eight offshore wind farms, demonstrating the continued growth of the market.
