Taiwan’s government has mandated that renewable energy power sellers and generators must maintain “backup power capacity” to address the issue of intermittency and its impact on grid stability. The requirement is set at 10% for offshore wind and 3.3% for solar photovoltaic (PV) systems. Energy storage providers note that storage systems will become a key operational pillar for power sellers, allowing them to both fulfill backup capacity obligations and participate in trading on the electricity market.
