Geothermal energy in Taiwan

Geothermal energy in Taiwan is estimated to have a generation potential of up to 30,000 MW.^[1]

Exploration of geothermal wells in Taiwan began in 1976 by CPC Corporation. Since then, there have been 34 wells drilled.^{[2] [3]}

There are estimated several areas with highest potential for geothermal energy cultivation, which are Huadong Valley, Mount Lu, Tatun Volcanic Group and Yilan Plain.^[4]

Taiwan established its first geothermal power plant in 1981. However, the plant was shut down in 1993 due to low efficiency.^[5] The currently working geothermal power plant is the Qingshui Geothermal Power Plant in Datong Township, Yilan County.
