Taiwan Power reported a NT$9.0 billion loss in the first four months of 2026, executives said at the company’s shareholders meeting on June 26, attributing the shortfall to a spike in international energy prices following the outbreak of hostilities between the US and Iran. The utility said recent signs of a US-Iran de-escalation, along with the possibility of natural gas price cuts by CPC Corp, could help narrow the deficit, and it maintained a 2026 target to limit full-year losses to within NT$28.0 billion.
