Implementing Energy Transition

Promoting Power Transformation

 

While responding to electricity demand growth, energy structure adjustment, and the net-zero emissions target, Taipower is also following the government's energy policies of increasing gas, reducing coal, and expanding green energy. Through power structure adjustment, new construction, renewal, and the expansion of power plants, retirement of existing units, and overall power supply resource planning, Taipower is gradually promoting power system transformation while balancing a stable power supply, energy security, and carbon reduction goals.

 

2025 Implementation Results

 
Project Progress Expected Benefits
Gas-Fired Unit Renewal and Expansion Progress
  • The Tunghsiao Power Plant Renewal and Expansion Project: 100%.
  • The Datan Gas-Fired Combined-Cycle Unit Project: 99.96%.
  • The Hsinta Power Plant Gas-Fired Unit Renewal and Reconstruction Project: 91.97%.
  • The Taichung Power Plant New Gas-Fired Unit Project: 61.96%.
  • The Talin Power Plant Gas-Fired Unit Renewal and Reconstruction Project: 49.41%.
  • The Hsieh-ho Power Plant Renewal and Expansion Project: 39.27%.
  • The Tunghsiao Power Plant Phase II Renewal and Expansion Project: 37.1%.
  • The Taichung Power Plant Phase II New Gas-Fired Unit Project: 0.29%.
Reduce coal consumption, which is expected to decrease from more than 38 million metric tons in 2017 to approximately 26 million metric tons by 2026, while increasing the share of low-carbon power generation and improving power supply stability.
Nuclear Power Plant Decommissioning and Back End Management
  • The outdoor dry storage facility at the First Nuclear Power Plant obtained its operating license in May 2025. Reactor 1 core clearance was completed in August, and transportation and storage of eight dry storage casks were completed during the year.
  • For the Second Nuclear Power Plant, dry storage works, including soil and water conservation,pile foundations, concrete works, and loading and unloading area works, were completed, and a trial operation application was submitted in September 2025.
Promote safety, environmental, and risk management in accordance with decommissioning plans to ensure the steady implementation of nuclear power plant decommissioning.
Other Power Development and Renewal Projects
  • The Guangming Pumped Storage Hydropower Project on the Dajia River: undergoing environmental impact assessment.
  • The Offshore Island Unit Renewal Project: Lanyu Units 3 and 4 entered commercial operation in July 2025, and Green Island Units 3 and 4 entered commercial operation in January 2026.
  • The Hsieh-ho Power Plant Diesel Unit Construction Project: four new units were added, and equipment arrived on site in 2025.
  • Pumped storage hydropower project:Planned capacity of approximately 580 MW and annual generation of approximately 768 million kWh to enhance grid dispatch flexibility.
  • Offshore island unit renewal: Improve power supply capacity and system reliability, strengthening power supply resilience in remote areas.
  • The Hsieh-ho diesel units: Strengthen regional power supply capacity and reserve resilience, and improve power supply stability.
 

Diversified Development of Renewable Energy and Low-Carbon Gas-Fired Power Generation

 

Renewable energy generation is intermittent and unpredictable due to weather and seasonal variability. Taipower is advancing a diversified strategy that encompasses solar, wind, and emerging technologies (such as floating offshore wind, geothermal, and marine energy). The Company is also supporting this growth by cooperating with the government's 20-year fixed Purchase Guarantee and grid-friendly integration policy, while strengthening grid and energy storage infrastructure to increase the share of renewables.

In terms of Smart Operation and Maintenance (O&M), Taipower has established systems for equipment management and generation forecasting to enhance equipment stability and provide 48-hour generation forecasts. Furthermore, grid reinforcement projects have achieved multiple milestones in enhancing interconnection capacity: promoting distributed installation and segregated grid connection, adopting the shared substation model, preventing virtual occupation of feeder capacity, and relaxing feeder interconnection limits to boost grid capacity. The Company is also actively exploring new renewable energy technologies such as geothermal and collaborative development of offshore wind farms.
