The new units are set to begin operations sequentially from 2030 to 2031.
The agreement, valued at around T$760 billion ($5.2 billion), is a full turnkey project. It will be carried out in cooperation with CTCI Corporation, a Taiwan-based engineering and construction firm. The project will include five units powered by M501JAC (J-Series Air-Cooled) gas turbines, marking a key step in Taiwan’s plan to upgrade its energy infrastructure.
The initiative focuses on replacing outdated plants with advanced systems that can expand generation capacity while limiting environmental impacts. It is designed to meet growing electricity demand across both industrial and residential sectors, while also supporting Taiwan’s net-zero emissions goals.
The new units are scheduled to start operations in sequence between 2030 and 2031. Mitsubishi Power will be responsible for supplying gas turbines, steam turbines, and auxiliary equipment, while Mitsubishi Generator will provide the generators. CTCI will oversee construction and balance of plant work.
This new facility will be located adjacent to GTCC plants that were upgraded during the first phase of the renewal programme. That earlier project, completed under a 2013 contract awarded to Mitsubishi Power and CTCI, included three units with M501J gas turbines, which began operations in 2018.
The current agreement demonstrates the long-standing partnership between Mitsubishi Power and Taiwan Power, reflecting their history of collaboration on large-scale energy developments. MHI has stated its intention to continue advancing the use of GTCC facilities and other high-efficiency turbine technologies as part of broader efforts to support decarbonisation and energy transition.
In addition to this project, Mitsubishi Power has recently expanded its regional presence. In January 2025, the company completed the 1.4GW Hin Kong natural GTCC power plant in Thailand, further demonstrating its expertise in delivering large-scale, efficient power generation solutions.
