Please rest assured.
The Ministry of Economic Affairs explained that my countrys energy procurement has long-term implementation of the diversified sources and diversified layout strategy, and is equipped with mechanisms such as medium- and long-term contract procurement, flexible dispatching of the spot market, and safety stock management to ensure safe supply.

At the same time, energy transportation vessels will also be appropriately dispersed to improve transportation stability and scheduling flexibility.
The Ministry of Economic Affairs further stated that in terms of the overall power supply strategy, accelerating the construction of renewable energy is the core key to improving national energy independence. The government is actively developing renewable energy sources such as wind power, photovoltaics, geothermal energy and small hydropower. At present, there is a certain proportion of local independent renewable energy sources, which can enhance the countrys energy supply resilience.
The Ministry of Economic Affairs finally emphasized that in the face of the challenges of various extreme scenarios in the future, the government will continue to use diversified energy procurement strategies, solid long-term natural gas contracts with Taiwan and the United States, and booming renewable energy construction to strengthen the resilience of the countrys energy supply and ensure that domestic gas and power supply can be stable and uninterrupted.
