Analysis
Taiwan recorded 6.9 terawatt-hours for renewable energy in 2025. That is the highest value across all 61 years on record.
That represents a change of up 6.1% on the previous year and up 17.2% over ten years.
Over the whole period, renewable energy in Taiwan peaked at 6.9 terawatt-hours in 2025 and was at its lowest, 0 terawatt-hours, in 1965.
That places Taiwan 33rd out of 79 countries with data for 2025, putting it in the middle of the range.
The series is highly variable year to year, so single readings are best treated with caution.
