> The NT$414.769 billion proposal combines price-gap support with NT$233.834 billion to strengthen CPC, Taiwan’s state-owned oil refiner. Parliament must review the plan.

Taiwan proposed a NT$414.769 billion energy package, about $13 billion, combining support for energy price gaps with a capital injection for state-owned oil refiner CPC as higher oil and gas costs strain its finances.

The plan allocates NT$180.935 billion to cover price differences absorbed by Taipower, CPC and liquefied petroleum gas producers. A separate NT$233.834 billion would go to CPC as a capital injection.

International oil and gas prices have risen above the assumptions used in last year’s budget. CPC’s accumulated losses are expected to exceed NT$127.6 billion, and the company cannot absorb the difference between adjusted and unadjusted oil and gas prices.

The proposed package still requires parliamentary review. Electricity pricing will be decided after that review, so the proposal does not establish whether the funding will be approved or distributed.
