STOCKHOLM, June 17, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Baseload Power Taiwan and CPC Corporation, Taiwan (CPC), the state-owned energy company, have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to accelerate geothermal development in Taiwan. By combining CPC's local expertise and resources with Baseload's international geothermal experience, the parties will explore opportunities to develop geothermal projects across Taiwan, beginning with the Tuchang geothermal project in Yilan County.

Under the MOU, the parties will cooperate on resource evaluation, technical collaboration, due diligence, feasibility studies, and commercial discussions related to geothermal development.

Baseload Power Taiwan has been active in Taiwan since 2019 and is currently advancing geothermal projects in several regions across the country.

"Taiwan has some of the strongest geothermal potential in Asia and a clear ambition to expand renewable energy. Through this collaboration with CPC, we are bringing together complementary expertise to help unlock that potential. We see this as an important step not only for the Tuchang project, but for the long-term growth of Taiwan's geothermal sector."
