Taiwan Energy Security and Anti-Embargo Act of 2026

This bill would allow the State Department, working with the Commerce and Energy Departments, to prioritize support for U.S. energy exports to Taiwan, including liquefied natural gas, and for projects that diversify Taiwan's energy sources. It would require the National Academy of Sciences to study ways to shift U.S. liquefied natural gas exports from China to Taiwan within one year. It would allow the State Department to work with Taiwan on protecting its energy infrastructure, including cybersecurity and training, to provide technical assistance, and to set up a joint U.S.-Taiwan Energy Security Center in the United States. It would allow the Transportation Secretary to insure ships carrying energy or other vital goods to Taiwan or other strategic partners facing maritime threats. It would also state Congress's view that Taiwan should keep nuclear power, and it would require briefings and yearly reports to Congress for three years.
