TAICHUNG POWER PLANT, TAIWAN

Taichung power plant in Longjing, Taichung, Taiwan, is the world’s biggest thermal power station. It is a coal fired power station with an installed capacity of 5,788MW owned and is operated by the state-owned Taiwan Power Company (Taipower).

The plant, consisting of 10 550MW coal-fired steam turbines and four 72MW gas turbines, began operations in 1992 with the commissioning of four 550MW units.

Four more units were installed between 1996 and 1997. Two additional 550MW units were commissioned in 2005-2006 and four 72MW gas turbines have also been added.

The coal-fired steam turbines were supplied by GE and Toshiba, and 70% of the coal used by the plant is sourced from Australia, United States, South Africa and Indonesia under long-term contracts, while the remaining is bought in the spot market.

Taipower plans to commission two additional 800MW coal-based generating units at the Taichung power plant by 2021
