The Taiwan Energy Security and Anti-Embargo Act of 2026 promotes Taiwan's energy security by encouraging nuclear power development and protecting maritime commerce to the island. The bill includes congressional findings that Taiwan should consider restarting its nuclear facilities or deploying small modular reactors for energy security, noting that Taiwan shut down its last nuclear plant in May 2025. The legislation authorizes the Transportation Secretary to provide federal insurance coverage for commercial vessels transporting critical goods like energy supplies and humanitarian aid to Taiwan and other strategic U.S. partners facing maritime threats. The bill clarifies that these provisions do not alter existing U.S. policy toward Taiwan and China, including the One China Policy as defined by the Taiwan Relations Act and other foundational agreements. No specific funding amounts or implementation timelines are detailed in the provided sections.
