Taiwan, China - World Nuclear Performance Report

Taiwan has one remaining operable reactor with a capacity of 938 MWe located at Maanshan, on the southern coast of the island. The unit is expected to shut down when its operating licence expires on 17 May 2025. Maanshan 1 was shut down in July.

Taiwan's Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) was elected to government in January 2016 with a policy of creating a "nuclear-free homeland" by 2025. Under this policy, the island’s six power reactors that were then operable would be decommissioned as their 40-year operating licences expire. Shortly after taking office, the government passed an amendment to the Electricity Act, bringing its phase-out policy into law.

A referendum held in November 2018 called for the government to cancel the amendment, but the policy has remained in effect.
