Taiwan Power Company (Taipower) has submitted an application to the Atomic Energy Council (AEC) to shut down the two-unit Maanshan nuclear power plant. Under Taiwan s nuclear phase-out policy, its power reactors will be decommissioned as their 40-year operating licences expire. The phase-out will be completed with the closure of Maanshan unit 2 in 2025.

The operating licences for Maanshan units 1 and 2 will expire on 27 July 2024 and 17 May 2025, respectively. Under Taiwan s
Nuclear Reactor Facility Control Law, Taipower is required to then permanently shut down the two 936 MWe pressurised water reactors. According to existing legislation, the utility must file an application to decommission the units at least three years prior to energy production stopping.
