Japanese company Mitsubishi Power will work with Taiwanese construction company CTCI to build a 2,800MW gas power station in Taiwan.
The new gas turbine combined cycle power plant project will be located at Tung Hsiao Power Plant in Tung Hsiao, Miaoli County. It will be operated by Taiwan Power Company, Taiwan’s state-owned electric power firm.
The project is a full turnkey solution led by Mitsubishi Power, conducted jointly with CTCI.
It comprises five units with M501JAC (J-Series Air-Cooled) gas turbines as the core components.
The total contract value, including CTCI’s share, for engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) is approximately 760 billion yen (US$5.2 billion).
The five new power plant units are scheduled to start operation sequentially from 2030 to 2031. Mitsubishi Power will supply the M501JAC gas turbines, steam turbines, and auxiliary equipment, while CTCI will be responsible for the construction and BOP (Balance of Plant).
Tung Hsiao Power Plant, approximately 130 km southwest of Taipei is undergoing renewal work to replace existing power plants with new plants. The main focus of the renovation is to increase power generation capacity while at the same time reducing the environmental impact.
Next to the new facility are the GTCC power plants updated in the first phase of the renewal plan, comprising three units with M501J gas turbines supplied by Mitsubishi Power as the core components, which have been in operation since 2018.
