Taiwan agrees to buy 30% of gas from Alaska LNG project, Trump says
Taiwan said the deal will diversify gas supplies and support energy security as CPC Corp. prepares a 20-year purchase plan.
- On Tuesday, President Donald Trump announced at a Wasilla, Alaska rally that Taiwan agreed to purchase 30% of output from the Alaska LNG project for 20 years and invest $4.4 billion in development.
- This commitment builds on a March 2025 letter of intent signed by CPC Corporation, as Taiwan seeks to secure energy supplies for the island's semiconductor industry amid surging demand.
- Taiwan's Ministry of Economic Affairs has not confirmed the specific terms announced by Trump, clarifying that final investment arrangements and binding contracts remain under active negotiation.
- The initiative aims to reduce Taiwan's trade surplus with the United States while diversifying natural gas supplies, critical as the island imports more than 90% of its energy.
- Developer Glenfarne aims to deliver the project's first gas in 2029, though the pipeline requires additional binding agreements and financing to proceed with construction.
