Taiwan’s RE capacity has risen 7-fold since 2016

The share of renewables in its power generation mix is at around 10%.

The renewable energy of Taiwan increased seven times to reach 13.9 gigawatts (GW) in August 2023 from 1.9 GW in 2016, the Ministry of Economic Affairs said, noting barriers in the development such as issues on lands, feeders, and processes.

In a statement, the ministry said the development raises its renewable power generation to 27.5 billion kilowatt hours, bringing the sector’s share in the energy mix to around 10%.

The government said it resolved the deployment issues through diverse approaches which included the use of unfavourable agricultural areas and aquavoltaics for the solar segment.

“Taiwan will show more proactivity in the development of advanced energy, including geothermal energy, ocean energy, biomass energy, and hydrogen energy, and use renewable energy as the main driving force of its energy transition and net zero transition,” the ministry said.

It added that joint efforts between the public and private sectors will drive the market’s energy transition.

Global clean energy tech market to hit $2t by 2035

This is fuelled by investments as countries aim to enhance energy security.The global clean energy technology market is projected to grow from $700b in 2023 to over $2t by 2035, nearing the scale of the crude oil market, according to the International Energy Agency (IEA).This growth is fuelled by significant investments in clean technology manufacturing as countries aim to enhance energy security, maintain economic competitiveness, and cut emissions. Investment is concentrated in regions with established positions in clean energy, particularly China, the European Union, the UK, and increasingly, India.Whilst the US, EU, and India have taken measures to support their clean energy sectors, China is expected to remain the world's manufacturing hub. By 2035, China's clean technology exports are forecasted to exceed $340b—comparable to projected oil export revenues from Saudi Arabia and the UAE.Southeast Asia, Latin America, and Africa contribute less than 5% of global cleantech production value, yet the IEA suggests that these areas still hold opportunities within the clean energy economy. Developing economies, for instance, could leverage competitive advantages to advance in the value chain beyond resource extraction.The IEA said Southeast Asia could become one of the most cost-effective regions for producing polysilicon and wafers for solar panels over the next decade.
