Background
Tai-Wu Power Plant was built in 1967 and has been supplying electricity to the greater Kinmen area around the clock. Following local economic development, four other power plants were successively built, including Gui-Kung, Chan-Jian, Hsia-hsing, and Chi-lin.
Since the expansion of the five power plants mentioned above was limited due to tunnelled underground construction or lower-levelled basin, in January 1995, the Executive Yuan approved the construction of units #1 ~ #4 in Tashan. After Tashan Power Plant completed the construction of units #1~#4 in October 2000, Tai-Wu, Chan-Jian, Jui-Kung small-scale power plants were retired. Since then, Tashan, Hsia-hsing, and Chi-lin have taken over to continue power supply services for civil and military use.
At present, the total capacity in the Kinmen area is about 113.3 MW.[3]
