Taipower forecasts over 5GW new power demand by 2030 amid semiconductor and AI data center expansion
What happened
Taiwan Power Company forecasts over 5GW of new electricity demand by 2030, averaging 1GW annually, driven by expansions in semiconductor foundries, memory, advanced packaging, and AI data centers. This surge, more than double the growth rate of the past decade, highlights a critical long-term constraint on production capacity. Bullish: Sustained power-intensive capacity growth signals persistent structural demand for leading-edge chips and potential supply-side cost pressures.
