Taiwan — Energy Infrastructure

OverWatts maps 179 energy assets in Taiwan across 10 layers — the 46th-largest mapped base of 157 countries. They include 120 power plants, 18 LNG terminals and 11 iron & steel plants. Operating generation capacity is 47.4 GW, led by gas at 44%. Refining capacity is about 540 kb/d.

The companies named on the most assets are Taiwan Power Co (42), CPC Corporation Taiwan (17) and Ørsted A/S (8), counting both ownership and operatorship. Half of Taiwan's mapped assets in service predate 2002 (median commissioning year of the 84 with a known date), 25 came online in the past decade and the oldest still listed is Daguan I hydroelectric plant, dating from 1934. 40+ projects are under construction or proposed, led by Taichung power station (7.8 GW).
