Wind energy is an important area of Taiwan’s energy sector policy, despite only representing a small share of total domestic capacity.

Following a temporary setback related to tariff rates, The Economist Intelligence Unit still expects the share of wind power in Taiwan’s energy mix to increase in 2019‑23, with spillover benefits for the island’s global competitiveness in wind-power technology.
