The Ministry of Economic Affairs has released the official Feed-in Tariff (FiT) rates for renewable energy for 2026, setting out financial incentives for a wide range of green energy technologies across Taiwan. The updated tariff structure aims to promote the development of multiple renewable energy sources, including solar, wind, geothermal, biomass, hydropower, and marine energy. The government’s approach highlights its commitment to expanding clean energy capacity while encouraging technological diversity within the renewable energy sector.

Solar photovoltaic (PV) energy continues to remain a key priority under the new tariff structure. The rates for rooftop solar installations are divided into categories based on system capacity. Smaller rooftop systems ranging from 1 kW to under 10 kW will receive the highest tariff of 5.6279 TWD per kWh. Medium-sized rooftop systems receive slightly lower rates, while larger rooftop systems of 500 kW and above are set at 3.6236 TWD per kWh. The government has also defined rates for other solar configurations. Ground-mounted solar power projects will receive 3.5037 TWD per kWh, while floating solar systems, which require more complex installation and engineering, are offered a higher incentive of 3.8948 TWD per kWh.

Wind energy tariffs vary depending on project size and technical capability. Land-based wind projects with a capacity of 30 kW or more are eligible for different rates depending on whether they support Low Voltage Ride Through (LVRT) and High Voltage Ride Through (HVRT) technologies. Projects equipped with these capabilities will receive a tariff of 2.1299 TWD per kWh, while those without the technologies will receive 2.0980 TWD per kWh. Smaller wind installations with capacities below 30 kW are offered a significantly higher rate of 7.4110 TWD per kWh to encourage small-scale generation.

The tariff schedule also emphasizes the development of geothermal energy. For geothermal systems between 1 kW and 5,000 kW, developers will receive 7.2498 TWD per kWh during the first ten years of operation. After that period, the rate decreases to 3.5457 TWD per kWh for the following decade. Next-generation geothermal energy projects are provided a higher fixed rate of 8.5522 TWD per kWh to promote innovation and long-term investment in the sector.

Other renewable energy categories are also included in the new tariff framework. Biogas projects using anaerobic digestion technology will receive 7.0192 TWD per kWh. Facilities using solid biofuels and agricultural residues are set at 5.1580 TWD per kWh. Small hydropower projects under 100 kW will receive 4.9548 TWD per kWh. Additionally, marine energy, which is still considered an emerging technology, is supported with a tariff rate of 7.3200 TWD per kWh.

Through these updated Feed-in Tariff rates, the Taiwanese government aims to accelerate renewable energy development while ensuring balanced growth across different technologies, supporting both established and emerging sectors within the clean energy landscape.
