Taiwan AI and Data-Center Policy

Taiwan has 5 tracked bills on artificial intelligence and data centers: 5 enacted.

The atlas records 7 data-center facilities in Taiwan, and the 7 that report capacity total about 2,515 MW.

Where things stand

Taiwan enacted its AI Basic Act in January 2026 — a principles-based framework closer to the US/Japan model than the EU's. The grid is under acute strain from surging AI demand: Taipower's January 2026 tariffs penalize inefficient operators and gigawatt-scale northern campuses are being discouraged outright. On semiconductors, Taiwan tightened national-security export controls through 2025, blacklisting Huawei and SMIC and securing its first criminal indictment for TSMC trade-secret theft.
