EP.01: Taiwan at an Energy Crossroads: 2025 Review & 2026 Outlook with ECCT Low Carbon Initiative

Taiwan’s energy transition is entering a pivotal stage. In this pilot episode, industry leaders from TRENA and the ECCT Low Carbon Initiative unpack what truly shaped Taiwan’s renewable energy landscape in 2025 — from offshore wind timelines and onshore wind’s quiet resurgence, to solar bottlenecks and the policy signals that will define 2026. This episode also marks the launch of The Energy Between, a new TRENA × ECCT Low Carbon Initiative collaboration exploring the people, policies, and partnerships behind Taiwan’s energy transition. ⏱️ Episode Highlights Introducing the ECCT Low Carbon Initiative What shaped Taiwan’s renewable story in 2025 Onshore wind’s momentum Solar: typhoons, bottlenecks, and EIA Offshore wind: expectations for Round 3 What to watch heading into 2026 Introducing new TRENA × ECCT Low Carbon Initiative series The Energy Between 🎙️ Speakers Host: Raoul Kubitschek 孔榮, Chairman, Taiwan Renewable Energy Alliance Y.D.
