Taipei: Taiwan’s No. 3 nuclear power plant has the potential to be restarted in 2027 as national energy strategies evolve.

According to Focus Taiwan, Taipower, the state-owned electric power utility, is preparing to submit a comprehensive plan outlining the necessary steps and timelines for the possible reactivation of the facility.

Nuclear energy has been a critical component of Taiwan’s energy mix, and discussions regarding the future of its nuclear facilities have been ongoing. The No. 3 nuclear power plant, located in the southern part of the island, has been a focal point in Taiwan’s energy discourse. The detailed plan from Taipower is expected to address safety protocols, environmental impacts, and the economic viability of bringing the plant back online.

In parallel with the developments in the energy sector, Taiwan’s economic forecasts have been under review. The Liberty Times reported a revised GDP growth forecast for 2025, projecting a growth rate of 7.37%. This adjustment reflects the country’s
ongoing economic strategies and market conditions.

Additionally, Taiwan’s stock market is experiencing particular activity. The Economic Daily News highlighted that 16 stocks are drawing institutional buying interest, while the Commercial Times identified 15 stocks that are anticipated to lead an upward trend in the Taiex index in December. These movements indicate a robust investment climate and confidence in Taiwan’s financial markets.

Meanwhile, political discussions continue to shape Taiwan’s landscape. Taipei Times reported on comments from Lai, a prominent political figure, emphasizing that there is no need for loyalty exemptions. This statement is part of broader political narratives influencing public policy and governance in Taiwan.
