2024 Taiwan Renewable Electricity Market Briefing: Advocacy for Affordable Corporate Procurement
This report presents RE100’s 2024 advocacy efforts in Taiwan, focusing on the rationale for removing Local Content Rules (LCR). It supports Taiwan’s commitment to policy adjustments in response to concerns raised by the European Union at the World Trade Organization (WTO). It also examines emerging procurement models and assesses whether they meet the three key criteria for renewable electricity sourcing the “3As”: affordability, accessibility, and additionality.

Taiwan Renewable Electricit Market Briefing: Net-Zero Plan and Aggregated PPAs
This report provides an overview of corporate renewable electricity procurement in Taiwan, focusing on policy and market trends, the status of RE100 members, and whether aggregated PPAs can help address procurement barriers. The accessibility and affordability of Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs) are critical to market growth and corporate net-zero transitions. However, significant barriers remain for most companies in Taiwan, and aggregated PPAs (APPAs) have yet to be implemented. Despite these challenges, the report finds that companies and stakeholders are willing to explore APPA models and collaborate to overcome barriers and reduce long-term procurement costs.

Taiwan Renewable Electricity Market Briefing: Meeting Demand with Supply
This report estimates the potential renewable electricity demand of RE100 members and their suppliers. Based on 2019 data, 85 RE100 members are distributed across sectors including consumer goods, ICT, chemicals and materials, industry, healthcare, finance, telecommunications, and energy. Assuming a fully liberalized and flexible green power market, current supply would be sufficient to meet members’ operational demand in Taiwan. However, when extended to their supply chains, demand would exceed supply if RE100 members and their Taiwan-based suppliers were to achieve 100% renewable electricity by 2030. It is estimated that around 38% of RE100 members would need to rely on Taiwan’s local renewable electricity supply to meet their global 100% renewable targets.
