In Taiwan’s rapidly expanding green energy market, driven by the global energy transition and power grid modernization, Billion Electric is making a strategic shift from its traditional power supply roots to become a major player in renewable energy and storage. During its June 30, 2025 earnings call, the company revealed it had secured a 262 MWh operations and maintenance (O&M) contract and expects to add two more project sites in the third quarter of 2025. Billion Electric also announced plans to launch several new products in the second half of 2025, signaling sustained momentum for growth ahead.

Three Taiwanese companies that have formed a strategic alliance eyeing the behind-the-meter (BTM) energy storage market maintain that locally-made batteries are highly competitive.

As China accelerates domestic semiconductor self-sufficiency and backs foundries like SMIC, Taiwan-based United Microelectronics Corporation (UMC) faces rising pressure in the mature-node segment. In a bid to stay competitive, UMC is reportedly weighing entry into 6nm production—a move that has drawn scrutiny, given that its most tangible progress at advanced nodes remains a 12nm partnership with Intel, still several years from mass production.
