Taiwan approves restart of Maanshan nuclear plant, output by 2028

Taiwan's government has approved a preliminary plan to restart the Maanshan nuclear power plant, which was shut down when its 40-year license expired in May 2025. Electricity production is expected to resume as early as 2028. This marks a reversal of Taiwan's nuclear phase-out policy, driven by energy security concerns, and could affect regional energy markets and geopolitical dynamics.
