LNG Terminals in Taiwan
Taiwan has 18 LNG terminals mapped on the OverWatts open energy atlas — the 17th-largest fleet of the 102 countries that hold any, and 1% of the world's mapped total. Of these, 10 operating and 8 under construction or proposed. Combined LNG capacity is about 79 Mtpa. The largest is Yong-An LNG (17 Mtpa).
The largest owner-operators are CPC Corporation Taiwan (13), CPC (2) and Taiwan Electric Power Co (2) — CPC Corporation Taiwan alone is named on 72% of them. Half of Taiwan's LNG terminals in service predate 2009 (median commissioning year of the 8 with a known date), 3 came online in the past decade and the oldest still listed is Yung-An LNG Terminal, dating from 1990. 8 are in the pipeline, led by Mailiao LNG Terminal (6 Mtpa), proposed. They account for 10% of every energy asset OverWatts maps in Taiwan.
