Ministry of Economic Affairs Announces 2026 Feed-in Tariff Rates for Renewable Energy

The Ministry of Economic Affairs (MOEA) today (2) officially announced the "2026 Feed-in Tariffs (FITs) and Calculation Formula for Renewable Energy Electricity." During the tariff review process, views from all stakeholders were duly incorporated and carefully assessed by the Feed-in Tariff Review Committee. The overall policy continues to uphold diversified installation incentives, with the objective of promoting the development and deployment of various forms of renewable energy.

According to the MOEA, the incentive framework and supporting measures for the 2026 FITs focus on sustaining the momentum of renewable energy development in Taiwan, while introducing new mechanisms and adjustments in response to practical market developments to further expand installation incentives.

For solar photovoltaic power, trade-in mechanism has been introduced. For conventional geothermal power generation, given that domestic commercial models remain at an early stage of development, the government has decided to maintain the tiered FIT structure in order to ensure financial stability and funding flexibility for project developers. Details of the FITs for each renewable energy category for 2026 are provided below.

The MOEA further noted that during the review process, covering both the draft public consultation and the public hearing sessions, key issues raised by stakeholders included the classification of floating offshore wind power under the FIT scheme, capacity-tier thresholds for conventional geothermal FIT, and the appropriateness of waste-to-energy FIT categories and tariff levels. The FIT Review Committee deliberated on these issues in accordance with the established FIT determination principles and overall policy considerations, drawing on credible and verifiable cost data. Going forward, the MOEA will continue to collect relevant information and conduct rolling reviews and adjustments in line with market conditions and technological developments.

The MOEA emphasized that the determination of the 2026 FITs was conducted under principles of fairness, impartiality, transparency, and procedural rigor, with the objective of setting renewable energy FIT levels, incentives, and supporting measures that are appropriate to Taiwan's development context. Records of the public hearings and review meetings have been published on the Energy Administration's website (https://gov.tw/Z4K) for public reference. Looking ahead, the MOEA will continue to refine the institutional framework to lay a solid foundation for the stable and sustainable development of renewable energy in Taiwan.
