Taiwan to invest $250B in US semiconductor manufacturing
The Trump administration has secured a significant multi-billion-dollar trade deal with Taiwan aimed at boosting U.S. domestic semiconductor manufacturing. Under the agreement, Taiwanese semiconductor and technology companies will invest $250 billion directly into the U.S. semiconductor industry, covering sectors such as semiconductors, energy, and AI production and innovation. Additionally, Taiwan will provide $250 billion in credit guarantees to support further investments from these enterprises. The timeline for these investments has not been specified. In exchange, the U.S. will invest in Taiwan’s semiconductor, defense, AI, telecommunications, and biotech industries, though no specific investment amount from the U.S. side was disclosed. This deal aligns with the U.S. government’s broader strategy to reduce dependence on foreign semiconductor supply chains, which currently see only about 10% of semiconductors produced domestically. The administration emphasized that reliance on foreign supply chains poses significant economic and national security risks, potentially impacting industrial and military capabilities. The announcement also hinted at forthcoming semiconductor tariffs once

Siemens Gamesa will supply 35 of its 14-megawatt turbines to Taiwan’s Formosa 4 offshore wind project, a 495-megawatt installation located off Miaoli County’s west coast. This project, developed by Synera Renewable Energy (SRE), is a significant advancement in Taiwan’s offshore wind expansion, expected to provide clean electricity to around 500,000 homes annually. Formosa 4 secured its establishment permit in November 2024, becoming the first Phase 3 Zonal Development project from the initial auction round to reach this milestone. The turbines will be produced locally at Siemens Gamesa’s Taichung nacelle facility, supporting regional supply chains and industrial localization. SRE, which previously delivered Taiwan’s first offshore wind farms Formosa 1 and Formosa 2 in partnership with Siemens Gamesa, emphasized the strength of their ongoing collaboration. Offshore construction for Formosa 4 is slated to begin in the coming years, with full completion expected before
