Taiwan produces little of its own energy, currently importing 97.97 % of its traditional fuels. Of these, petroleum accounts for 55 %, coal for one-third, natural gas for 5 % and nuclear fuels for 8 %. With recent instability and uncertainty in the Middle East, oil prices have rocketed to their highest level since World War II.
台灣是個缺乏自產能源的國家，在目前使用的傳統能源中，高達百分之九十七・九七需要仰賴國外進口，其中石油佔百分之五十五，煤佔三分之一，天然氣和核原料則各佔百分之五與百分之八。
