Power Plants in Taiwan

Taiwan has 120 power plants mapped on the OverWatts open energy atlas — the 35th-largest fleet of the 155 countries that hold any, and 0.4% of the world's mapped total. Of these, 58 operating and 49 under construction or proposed. Operating generation capacity totals 47.4 GW across 58 utility-scale plants of 100 MW and above. The largest is Taichung power station (7.8 GW).

The largest owner-operators are Taiwan Power Co (39), Ørsted A/S (8) and Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners P/S (5) — Taiwan Power Co alone is named on 33% of them. Half of Taiwan's power plants in service predate 2004 (median commissioning year of the 56 with a known date), 21 came online in the past decade and the oldest still listed is Daguan I hydroelectric plant, dating from 1934. 49 are in the pipeline, led by Taichung power station (7.8 GW), under construction. They account for 67% of every energy asset OverWatts maps in Taiwan.
