Economy Minister Kung Ming-hsin told a net-zero conference that development of renewable energy is indispensable to meet the Taiwan's 2050 carbon goal, with or without nuclear power. The government shut down the last reactor in May and a referendum to restart nuclear failed to meet the legal threshold in August, while about 80 percent of Taiwan’s electricity came from fossil fuels in 2024. Industry figures including Pegatron Chair Tung Tzu-Hsien said nuclear could play a role as long as it is safe and waste is handled properly.
