Rising expenses undermine Taiwan’s energy security

Surging costs are pushing firms to strengthen capacity and global reach.

Schneider Raychem of RST Electric Industry said the energy market in Taiwan and across Asia is facing a critical time, noting that “the sky high cost in writing” is forcing companies to rethink strategies. Still, he described it as a great opportunity in Taiwan as the firm aims to “see what we can bridge together.”

Differentiating its market position, he highlighted that RST in Taiwan is the number one distributor of Swiss gear. With Asia confronting “a rising energy, sky high projects,” he pointed to the company’s 25-plus years of overseas experience, calling RST “a seasonable distributor and also international traders for the coming.”

Organised by TAITRA and the Green Energy and Sustainability Alliance (GESA) under SEMI, Energy Taiwan & Net-Zero Taiwan 2025 was held from 29 to 31 October 2025 at the Taipei Nangang Exhibition Center.
