Taiwan plans to restart two nuclear plants by 2026, pending safety reviews, after ending nuclear power in May 2025.
Taiwan Power Company plans to submit proposals by March 2026 to restart the Kuosheng and Maanshan nuclear plants, following a government-approved assessment deeming them feasible for revival.
The Jinshan plant was ruled unsuitable due to aging and damage.

The move follows new regulations allowing extended operation beyond decommissioning.
