Taiwan has approved a preliminary plan to restart the Ma-anshan Nuclear Power Plant by as early as 2028, reversing its previous anti-nuclear stance to enhance energy security and provide stable, low-carbon power for its chipmaking industry.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Semiconductors, and 3 sources have reported it between 25 Sep 2026 and 8 Oct 2026.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

Taiwan’s acceptance of nuclear power marks a policy shift that could stabilise energy costs for chipmakers like TSMC. You should consider how this shift might lower operational risks linked to power reliability and emissions standards.
