A senior executive from Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. (TSMC) has publicly voiced concerns regarding the Taiwanese government's ability to provide a stable supply of green energy. Cliff Hou, a senior vice president at TSMC and chairman of the Taiwan Semiconductor Industry Association, stated that the industry is worried about the government's execution of its plan to add new green power supplies and has requested an updated timetable. These comments underscore the critical need for energy security within the power-intensive chip manufacturing sector. Taiwan has faced difficulties in expanding its renewable energy infrastructure and recently shut down its final nuclear reactor, leading to a greater dependence on imported fuels like liquefied natural gas. The long-term stability and cost of the energy supply remain a significant point of focus for major manufacturers such as TSMC.
