Taiwan’s appetite for gas set to remain strong despite nuclear phase out reversal

摘要

Taiwan’s government had its plan to phase out nuclear power by 2025 shot down by citizens following a referendum, with the government expected to announce a new energy policy at the start of next year, which industry experts expect will have little impact on the island’s gas sector. The referendum showed 59% of voters in support of continued use of nuclear power, according to reports, with the result derailing the Democratic Progressive Party's (DPP) policy on a nuclear phaseout.
