Taiwan Taipower Grid Resilience & Tiered Tariff Policy (2026) has been enacted.
Effective January 2026, Taiwan Power Company implemented tiered electricity tariffs that reward data centers achieving a Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE) below 1.3 and impose surcharges above 20% on inefficient operators, while discouraging large-scale northern campuses due to transformer shortages and urging operators to relocate to central and southern Taiwan. The utility is simultaneously drafting broader guidelines on grid stability safeguards as AI data center electricity demand is projected to grow 50% or more, and a 2025 moratorium on new connections over 5 MW north of Taoyuan is extending commissioning schedules by 6–12 months.
