Taipower's Fuel Costs Could Rise by NT$160 Billion This Year
Posted on 2026-10-22 18:14:13
Taipower is warning that its accumulated losses could exceed 420-billion NT
by the end of this year ... unless it receives additional government funding.

The state-run power company says the Middle East war has driven up energy
costs, with its annual fuel bill projected to rise by more than 160-billion
NT if gas prices remain unchanged.

Taipower lost over 20-billion NT in the first eight months of this year,
while its accumulated losses stand at over 371-billion NT.

The Cabinet has proposed allocating an additional 71-billion NT to help cover
the losses.

But Taipower says that would still leave a gap of more than 80-billion NT
against the projected rise in fuel costs.

The company says it has absorbed higher energy costs to help keep electricity
prices stable, while its debt has reached 1.85-trillion NT.
