The Chiahui Power Plant (Chinese: 嘉惠電廠; pinyin: Jiāhuì Diànchǎng) is a gas-fired power plant in Songshan Village, Minxiong Township, Chiayi County, Taiwan.[2][3][4]

History[]

The construction of the power plant began in January 2002 and the commissioning of the plant was done in December 2003.[5][6] The project is the first independent power producer project in Taiwan. In July 2020, the power plant was awarded Occupational Safety and Health Administration Agency's Model Site Award.[7]

Ownership[]

Asia Cement Corporation and its affiliates owns 59% of equity share, while J-Power owns 40%. The remaining 1% share is owned by other private shareholders.

Generation units[]

The power plant has a total installed generation capacity of 535 MW.[8] It consists of multiple-shaft combined cycle unit with one steam turbine-generator, three gas turbine generators and three heat recovery steam generators, designed for natural gas firing. The gas turbine generators came from General Electric with F-class technology and was shipped in 2002. Each has 18-stage axial compressor and 3-stage turbine. It also features a cold-end drive and axial exhaust.

Function[]

The power plant is designed for intermediate load operation with daily startup and shutdown to sell power to match the power dispatch schedule of Taipower.[9] The whole generated electricity is sold to Taipower.[5]

Transportation[]

Chiahui Power Plant is accessible west from Minxiong Station of Taiwan Railways.
