Analysis
Taiwan recorded 50.39 terawatt-hours for primary energy from low-carbon energy in 2025.
That represents a change of down 31.3% on the previous year and down 59.1% over ten years.
Over the whole period, primary energy from low-carbon energy in Taiwan peaked at 140.92 terawatt-hours in 2014 and was at its lowest, 2.59 terawatt-hours, in 1965.
That places Taiwan 47th out of 77 countries with data for 2025, putting it in the middle of the range.
The series is highly variable year to year, so single readings are best treated with caution.
