HDRE announced it will enter the AI compute dispatch market by building containerized compute centers paired with energy storage systems in Australia and Japan, aiming to finalize cooperation projects in the first half of 2026. The firm said it will colocate GPUs with existing storage battery sites to boost the value of power output and address permitting rules that require sufficient electricity infrastructure for new data center developments.

Taiwan intends to launch a green power spot market as early as late 2026 or early 2027 to allocate intermittent renewable generation better and reduce surplus electricity pressures on semiconductor and other energy-intensive industries, market sources said. The move aims to address mismatches between peak renewable output and corporate electricity demand that have left some power retailers holding surplus power.

GlobalWafers announced that its greenhouse gas reduction targets passed review by the Science Based Targets initiative, signaling the wafer maker has aligned its decarbonization pathway with the global 1.5°C climate goal and committed to achieving net-zero emissions across its full value chain by 2050. The approval covers both near-term and long-term targets, and the company said the moves will shape its operational and supplier strategies through the 2030s and beyond.

Power Win said it is expanding its lithium battery recycling business as demand from energy storage and electric vehicles (EVs) surges and geopolitical tensions elevate scarce metals into strategic assets. The company is also targeting Southeast Asia for technology exports and moving deeper into EV and AI asset recovery.

As tensions between the US and Iran heighten global energy supply concerns, Taiwan's plan to restart the Kuosheng and Maanshan Nuclear Power Plants has drawn fresh attention. Although the Maanshan plant has yet to pass safety inspections, Taiwan Power (Taipower) has reportedly considered preordering fuel rods in advance — a move Pegatron chairman Tzu-hsien Tung supports to avoid a power supply gap, particularly as Taiwan seeks to sustain economic growth amid the ongoing AI arms race.

Apple said it is increasing investment in renewable energy and water sustainability projects globally, including new solar and water initiatives in India, as the company pushes toward its goal of becoming carbon neutral across its entire value chain by 2030.

Taiwan's expanding semiconductor and AI-related industries have driven up electricity demand, prompting officials and researchers to call for the faster deployment of energy storage and virtual power plants to fill gaps left by the slow pace of natural gas plant construction.

Power Win Taiwan, Taiwan's largest domestic lithium-ion battery processor with more than an 80% market share, said it is building a technical moat around its self-developed safe discharge technology to capture strategic value from retired batteries as global demand for critical metals rises. The company announced its electrolyte conductive discharge system, combined with precision dismantling and downstream refinement, has secured certifications and commercial partnerships with major original equipment manufacturers across smartphones and automotive sectors.

Taiwan Power Company, or Taipower, submitted a restart plan for Nuclear Power Plant No. 3 to the Nuclear Safety Commission in March 2026, while recent reports indicated the utility has been in talks with original equipment supplier Westinghouse over nuclear fuel procurement.

Innos and Apollo Power announced a green power cooperation agreement on May 5 to supply renewable electricity to global high-tech manufacturing, aiming to support the semiconductor industry's low-carbon transition and meet tighter ESG requirements across international supply chains. The deal is expected to deliver more than 10 million kWh of renewable electricity per year and will initially target upstream and downstream semiconductor suppliers, the firms said.

Hengs Technology, a Taiwan solar system integrator and operator, said its operations and maintenance business would enter a harvest phase in 2026, supporting another year of strong revenue growth. The company said it remained focused on project development and solar and energy storage engineering, procurement, and construction, which accounted for 95.75% of total revenue, and that expanding O&M contracts will transform its revenue mix toward recurring cash flow.
