Background
The Shu-Lin power station consisted of a 13 MW unit that was commissioned in 1983 and a 52 MW unit that was commissioned in 1994. The power station was owned and operated by the Formosa Plastics Corporation via its subsidiary[3] Nan Ya Plastics Corporation.[4][5][6]
Conversion to gas (2022)
In Nan Ya Plastics Corporation's 2021 Sustainability Report (published June 2022), it was reported that several of the company's captive coal plants were planned for decommission and replacement by gas-fueled generating capacity before 2030.[7] The report stated that coal-to-gas conversions were to take place between 2021 and 2030 at the following plants:
- 2022: "Utility plants in Shulin site and Kung San site [sic]"
- 2023: "Utility plant in Chiayi site [sic]"
- 2030: "Utility plants in Jinxing site [sic]."[7]
The 2021 report also noted that the Shulin (Shu-Lin) plant had already "completed the installation of a gas-fired boiler with 50 tons to respond to the policy of coal-free city in New Taipei City."[7]
The 2023 Annual Report of Nan Ya Plastics Corporation noted that the coal-fired boilers installed at its Shulin (Shu-Lin) and Linkou plants had been replaced by gas-fired boilers.[8]
