During the recent Justice Mission-2025 exercises around Taiwan, a significant focus was placed on rehearsing a blockade of Taiwan’s major energy import facilities. Taiwan relies heavily on energy imports, sourcing nearly 96% of its energy needs, primarily from oil and liquefied natural gas (LNG).
A visualization accompanying the exercises highlights the locations of Taiwan"s energy import and distribution facilities in relation to live-fire zones established during the recent joint military drills around the island.
These exercises are part of ongoing military readiness efforts in the region, reflecting the strategic importance of securing energy supplies for Taiwan. For more information on related military activities, see our coverage of recent developments in air defense operations.
