TSMC taps wind power as AI chip demand soars, Taiwan feels energy crunch

Taiwan says it has enough oil and gas for the near term as it accelerates energy diversification.

TSMC, already one of Taiwan’s biggest electricity users, is expanding renewable energy use to support AI chip production.

The chipmaker is signing major offshore wind deals to secure power for future fabs and growth.

The push highlights how AI-driven semiconductor demand is reshaping Taiwan’s electricity needs.
