TSMC’s latest sustainability report shows its global power consumption is projected to reach 28.77 billion kilowatt-hours (kWh) in 2025, a 12.6% increase from 2024. This figure represents approximately 10.2% of Taiwan’s total annual electricity consumption. The company aims to increase renewable energy usage to 60% of its total consumption by 2030, up from 20.1% in 2025.

TSMC’s escalating power demand is a direct consequence of the rapid expansion in AI and advanced process technology manufacturing. This trend highlights the critical infrastructure challenges faced by the semiconductor industry, particularly in regions like Taiwan where energy supply is a sensitive geopolitical and environmental issue.
