Analysis
Taiwan recorded 9.81 terawatt-hours for primary energy from nuclear in 2025.
The figure is down 73.4% on the previous year and down 91.1% over ten years.
Over the whole period, primary energy from nuclear in Taiwan peaked at 128.45 terawatt-hours in 2014 and was at its lowest, 0 terawatt-hours, in 1965.
That places Taiwan 32nd out of 219 countries with data for 2025, putting it in the top quarter.
The series is highly variable year to year, so single readings are best treated with caution.
