The rapid growth of the global generative AI industry has sharply increased electricity demand, straining national power grids and energy security worldwide. South Korea faces particular challenges in maintaining a stable power supply amid rising consumption. President Lee Jae-myung's recent energy policies addressing this issue have drawn significant attention domestically.

Artificial intelligence's surge in computing demands is reshaping global energy consumption patterns, with AI data centers requiring six times more electricity than traditional facilities. This shift is accelerating investments in power infrastructure and renewable energy deployment worldwide, creating new opportunities for Taiwan's heavy electrical equipment manufacturers.

Formosa Smart Energy Tech has officially commenced operations of its pilot production line for all-solid-state lithium batteries, marking a significant milestone in the company's development of next-generation battery technologies. The initiative was developed in collaboration with the Battery Research Center of Green Energy at Ming Chi University of Technology and represents a key step in Taiwan's efforts to strengthen its position in the global energy storage sector.

Hot melt adhesives maker Nan Pao Resins Chemical Group is transitioning its product line from conventional solvent-based adhesives to water-based products, as part of the company's sustainability efforts. The company has established 28 facilities across seven regions worldwide to ensure proximity with its clients, since adhesives must be tailored to the specific manufacturing needs of each plant. By developing new eco-friendly products, Nan Pao has managed to both increase its unit prices and secure new orders, and has thus maintained a growth trajectory even as most shoe brands reduce production.

Taiwan's Ministry of Economic Affairs (MOEA) plans to expand subsidization to behind-the-meter (BTM) energy storage systems in a bid to encourage the adoption of locally made battery cores.

Behind-the-meter (BTM) systems have become the next main focus as Taiwan's energy storage policies transition into the next phase, with the Ministry of Economic Affairs (MOEA) now expected to introduce subsidies. Although the industry is generally acceptive of these policies, concerns remain regarding the comprehensiveness and feasibility of these measures, with fears that a lack of clear, long-term planning may lead to a repeat of the chaos when front-of-the-meter (FTM) systems were first promoted.

Leadership succession has become an inescapable issue for Taiwan's corporate giants. At Foxconn, the world's largest electronics manufacturer, the spotlight has shifted from pure technological transformation to a more deliberate and strategic recalibration of executive leadership.

Powin, once a major player in the global energy storage market and a fierce competitor to Tesla and Fluence, has recently filed for bankruptcy under Chapter 11 of the US Bankruptcy Code at the District Court for the District of New Jersey

Semiconductor materials and solar module supplier Win Win Precision Technology has signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with Runergy PV Technology Thailand, aiming to develop an advanced version of high-density solar modules specifically for Taiwan's nearshore and aquaculture areas.

Taiwan's first offshore wind farm project with a total installed capacity exceeding 1GW has started delivering electricity to the national power grid.

At the 18th SNEC International Solar Energy and Smart Energy Conference held in Shanghai on June 10, 2025, global solar enterprises gathered to discuss the industry's future. However, behind the bustling exhibition, China's solar industry is confronting its most severe structural crisis to date.
