Power Stations In Taiwan

Taiwan has about 39 power plants with a generating capacity of 37.21186 gigawatts. Taiwan is a small island in East Asia, with over 23 million people. Despite its limited natural resources, Taiwan's highly developed economy requires a reliable and efficient electricity supply. The country's power sector is primarily fueled by natural gas, coal, and nuclear energy, which account for most of its electricity generation. One of Taiwan's most significant power stations is the Taichung Power Plant, located in Taichung City on the island's western coast. The coal-fired power station is the largest of its kind in Taiwan, with ten units producing a total capacity of 5,500 MW of electricity.
