History
editThe construction to build the power plant was approved by the Executive Yuan in January 1995. The construction was then completed in October 2000 with 4 generation units, unit 1–4. In March 1998, the construction for unit 5-8 was approved by the Executive Yuan and it was commissioned in February 2004. On 6 July 2016, the Ministry of Economic Affairs approved the construction of unit 9–10.[1] The two generation units were ordered in 2017.[2]
Infrastructure
editTo cope with the increasing electricity demand and generation, a petroleum transmission trestle was built in 2002 near the power plant for the transportation of diesel oil for the plant. This reduced the risk of fuel shortages.[3][4][5]
The smolestacks of the plant are 62.4 metres tall [1].
