To encourage private capital investment in public infrastructure, the Executive Yuan approved the “Trillion-Dollar Investment National Development Plan (2025-2028)” on December 26, 2024. The plan directs central government agencies to prioritize Promoting Private Participation (PPP) models when proposing new projects to expand the pipeline of public works. The goal is to achieve a total national private investment of NT$682.9 billion between 2025 and 2028. Thanks to the collective efforts of various agencies, 160 PPP project contracts were signed last year (2025), amounting to NT$380.7 billion, hitting a historic high and significantly exceeding the original target of NT$149.8 billion set under the Trillion-Dollar Plan for 2025. In particular, 80 were implemented according to the Act for Promotion of Private Participation in Infrastructure Projects, with a total amount of investment NT$80.5 billion, while 80 projects were carried out under other laws and regulations, with a total amount of investment NT$300.2 billion.
According to the statistics of the Ministry of Finance, the top three central government agencies in terms of attracting private investment via PPP projects in 2025 are the Ministry of Economic Affairs, the Ministry of Transportation and Communications, and the Ministry of Education, while Kaohsiung City Government, Tainan City Government, and Taichung City Government were the top three local governments for PPP investment promotion. Among the PPP projects signed, the “AI Intelligent and Efficient Incinerator BOT Project in Kaohsiung City” ranked first with an investment of NT$16.5 billion, followed by “The BOO project of large-scale logistics center in Hukou Township, Hsinchu County” with NT$12.5 billion. There was a wide variety in public infrastructure category among the signed PPP projects, including environmental pollution prevention facilities (Taichung City Wenshan Incineration Plant Project), health, welfare and medical facilities (Tainan Municipal Hospital), agricultural and resource recycling and reuse facilities (Chiayi County Regional Cold Chain Logistics Center for Agricultural and Food Products Project), and green energy infrastructure (Miaoli County Hydrogen Energy Industry Park Project (Mountain Line) BOT Project).
As for PPP projects signed under other laws and regulations, the New Taipei City New Taipei Metro Circular Line Shisizhang Station and South Depot Development Project boasted the highest investment amount of NT$84.5 billion. Following the Metro development project, the second-highest investment was the Kaohsiung Port Intercontinental LNG Storage Tank Investment and Construction Project by the Ministry of Transportation and Communications, with an investment of NT$56.3 billion.
