CTCI and Mitsubishi Power Secure NT$154.7 Billion EPC Contract for Taipower’s Tung Hsiao Power Plant Expansion

CTCI, Taiwan’s leading engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) company, announced today that it has been awarded an NT$154.7 billion EPC tender in partnership with Japan’s Mitsubishi Power Ltd. to construct five new combined cycle generating units adjacent to the existing Tung Hsiao Power Plant for Taiwan Power Company (Taipower). With a total installed capacity of 2,800 MW, the expansion is scheduled for completion by 2031. The project will help meet growing industrial power demand from the Hsinchu and Taichung Science Parks while also serving household needs, contributing to Taiwan’s path toward net-zero emissions. While CTCI’s share of the contract was not disclosed, the award represents the largest in the company’s history.

Formally titled Tung Hsiao Power Plant Phase 2 Renewal and Rebuilding Project: Procurement and Installation of Combined Cycle Generating Units and Plant Facilities, the initiative supports the government’s energy transition policy. The new combined cycle units feature the world’s highest level of power efficiency and are expected to cut greenhouse gas emissions by 60% compared with coal-fired generation. Equipped with advanced gas turbines capable of hydrogen-natural gas co-firing, the project also paves the way toward fully hydrogen-fueled power generation in the future.
