Context

Demand peak in Taiwan: 29341 MW in the 10-minute interval starting 2026-10-24 09:40 UTC. This is a record since 2026-10-23, the first date in our data for this market. The window is short, so the record says nothing about earlier years.

It beat the previous confirmed record of 23977 MW, set at 2026-10-23 19:10 UTC, by 5364.00 MW (22.4%). That earlier record stays in the chain as superseded and remains visible at /records/demand-peak-tw-1792782600/.

Conditions in the data at the same time: TW wind 1140.7 MW (reading at 09:40 UTC); TW solar 106.9 MW (reading at 09:40 UTC); TW renewable share 5.7 % (reading at 09:40 UTC). These are the readings nearest to the record interval in the same database, shown for context only; they do not explain the record on their own.

First seen in a batch fetched at 2026-10-24 09:45 UTC (payload a36fdd865b). It was confirmed after a second batch fetched at 2026-10-24 10:05 UTC (payload 3eafe76238): a later batch arrived, this feed does not republish old intervals, and the stored point stayed unrevised, unflagged and within 2%.

For comparison, the next most extreme valid reading in the same series is 29325.0 MW at 2026-10-24 09:50 UTC, out of 22 readings in the window.

Records are built from provisional operator data that can be revised, so each one is checked against later batches before it is confirmed and can be retracted if the source changes it. Readings outside market bounds, with a wrong unit, flagged by a quality gate or showing a price jump without a matching load change are rejected and never listed. See the methodology page for the full rules. Not for trading or operational decisions. Provisional data.
