to power all global operations with 100% renewable energy within that same timeframe.
TSMC’s 100% renewable-energy target is 2040, not 2050. Its net-zero target remains 2050.
Full reasoning
TSMC moved its RE100 target forward in 2023. The company said it was accelerating its timetable for 100% renewable energy consumption for all global operations from 2050 to 2040. TSMC’s 2025 annual report repeats the same split target: 100% renewable energy by 2040 and net-zero emissions by 2050. So this sentence is incorrect because it puts both targets on the same 2050 timeline.

phases 2 construction complete with production in 2028
TSMC has moved Arizona phase 2 earlier. Official company materials say high-volume production is expected in the second half of 2027, not 2028.
Full reasoning
TSMC’s own 2025 annual report says it is pulling forward the schedule for its second Arizona fab and expects high-volume manufacturing in the second half of 2027. TSMC’s Arizona site page says the same thing: N3 volume production is targeted for the second half of 2027. So the article’s statement that phase 2 production is in 2028 is outdated.
