By 2030 , Taiwan ’s semiconductor industry will consume twice as much electricity as the whole of New Zealand .
The island depends heavily on imported fossil fuels; It has ambitious clean energy targets that it is failing to meet; And it can barely keep up with current demand.
The government is banking on the success of its technology sector and wants the island to be a leader in artificial intelligence.
Last year , Taiwan ’s power sector was 83 percent dependent on fossil fuel.
Coal accounted for 42 percent of generation; natural gas 40 percent ; and oil 1 percent .
Nuclear supplied 6 percent , and solar, wind, hydro, and biomass together, nearly 10 percent .
The shuttered reactors have not yet been decommissioned, possibly because, in addition to its other difficulties, Taiwan has run out of waste storage capacity.
The fuel rods remain in place because there is nowhere else to put them.
In 2018 , a majority opposed the nuclear shutdown in a referendum, but the government continues to insist that its policy will not change.
