Energy Taiwan 2026 opened on October 14, bringing together more than 430 exhibitors across nearly 1,400 booths as the island seeks to strengthen energy resilience and accelerate decarbonization amid rising electricity demand from artificial intelligence (AI).

Southeast Asian super-app Grab is trying to ease concerns in Taiwan about its ties to China as regulators near a decision on its proposed acquisition of Foodpanda's Taiwan business.

ATE Energy International Co. Ltd. reported consolidated revenue of NT$6.667 billion (US$209.0 million) for the first three quarters of 2026, up 132.52% from a year earlier, driven by the continued progress of major energy engineering projects in the Philippines and steady recognition of engineering revenue.

Grenergy Enterprise reported consolidated revenue of NT$34.83 million (approx. US$1.09 million) for September 2026, up 66% from the previous month and 38% from a year earlier. Growth was primarily driven by rising demand for low-speed electric vehicles (LSEV), which boosted shipments of battery modules for tow tractors, as well as shipments of battery packs for garbage truck compactors.

China's rare-earth concentrate prices remain nearly 50% above year-earlier levels despite a marginal fourth-quarter increase, underscoring persistent raw material cost pressures even as downstream buyers resist higher prices.

Tun Green Power partnered with Foxconn, Billion Watts, NoonSpare Energy Technology, and Rich Electric to develop behind-the-meter energy storage systems (ESS) using Taiwan-made lithium battery cells. The companies signed a cooperation agreement in Taiwan on October 12, 2026, targeting mass production and deliveries in the first half of 2027, with a deployment goal of 100 megawatt-hours (MWh) as corporate customers seek more options for localized storage equipment.

As geothermal energy prepares to enter Taiwan's semiconductor renewable electricity market, the most immediate question is how much each kilowatt-hour (kWh) will cost compared with solar, wind, and conventional power generation.

Taiwan's geothermal energy market could be approaching a major breakthrough as the semiconductor industry seeks new sources of reliable renewable electricity amid surging AI-driven power demand.

The rapid expansion of AI infrastructure is driving demand for higher power and voltage levels, pushing power semiconductor development toward greater efficiency, higher power density, and tighter integration.

Taiwan has relaxed its IFRS sustainability disclosure rules for listed and OTC companies, shrinking the number of firms required to fully comply from an originally planned 1,970 to 560. Environment Minister Peng Chi-ming said more than 70%, or about 1,410 companies, will switch to voluntary disclosure instead.

As the demand for green energy surges in parallel with order volumes and production capacity, scheduling for energy storage systems has become a critical technology to solve the problem of excess power for major tech firms, according to Kelsey Kuan, general manager of HD Renewable Energy subsidiary Star Trade. In an interview with DIGITIMES, Kuan also highlighted the rising technological barriers for electricity sellers, as the business now requires AI forecasting, transfer matching, energy storage, and integrated renewable-energy capabilities.
