itsubishi Power has won a contract for a 2800MW combined cycle power plant to be built in Taiwan. The power plant will be operated by state-owned Taiwan Power Company and is located in Tung Hsiao, Miaoli County.
The contact represents a full turnkey project led by Mitsubishi Power, working jointly with CTCI Corporation, a major Taiwanese engineering and construction company. It will comprise five units equipped with M501JAC (J-Series Air-Cooled) gas turbines. The total contract value, including CTCI’s share, is some 760 billion yen (US$5.2 billion).
The new GTCC power plant forms an integral part of Taiwan’s strategy to meet its escalating energy needs while advancing environmental goals.
The project comprises five units featuring M501JAC gas turbines as core components.
It aligns with Taiwan’s long-term plan to increase power capacity, replace ageing infrastructure, and reduce environmental impact to support growing industrial and residential electricity demands. Beginning sequentially from 2030 to 2031, the five units are expected to be operational over the next 5 years.
Mitsubishi Power will supply the M501JAC gas turbines, steam turbines, and auxiliary equipment. CTCI is responsible for the construction and Balance of Plant aspects, while Mitsubishi Generator will provide the necessary generators.
Located next to the future development site, three GTCC power plants upgraded during the first renewal phase have been operational since 2018, utilising M501J gas turbines supplied by Mitsubishi Power. This component of the project stemmed from an earlier joint contract with CTCI established in 2013.
