The Hsinta Power Plants are expected to be decommissioned around 2025 to be replaced with gas combined-cycle units. The goal is to start commercial operation on the first replaced unit in July 2023 and start commercial operation on all units by January 2026. The Hsinta Plan competition aims at realizing breakthrough concepts for the next-generation power plant that align with leading global standards.
