Taiwan: Generation from LNG imports hits all-time high during CNY’25

Taiwan’s power generation from LNG imports reached a record high of 14.5 GWe during the most recent January-February, Chinese New Year period. The growth in generation from LNG occurred in spite of weaker total levels of power load during the holiday period in 2025 compared to past years – a trend that was in line with Taiwan’s slowing GDP growth rate of 1.8% for the 4th quarter of 2024.

Tracking the relationship between gas burns and power load for key LNG import markets is just one of many analytic approaches that distinguishes Balance Point Research’s modelling of the global LNG market balance and forecasting of LNG imports into NW Europe. Please reach out to learn more.
