MOEA Urges Urgent Funding for CPC and Taipower
Posted on 2026-10-19 18:32:13
The Ministry of Economic Affairs is calling for government funding to help
cover mounting losses at the state-owned CPC Corporation and Taipower.

Deputy Economics Minister Lai Chien-hsin (賴建信) says both companies have
absorbed rising energy costs in recent years to keep fuel and electricity
prices stable.

C-P-C had accumulated losses of over 90 billion NT by the end of September ...

... while Taipower's cumulative losses reached more than 370 billion NT by
the end of August.

Business groups support government assistance, warning that higher energy
prices would put additional pressure on companies and households.

However, some academics argue that government energy policies have
contributed to the losses ...

... and say financial support should cover only costs resulting from
international energy price fluctuations.
