The contract aims to cut CO2 emissions by 58% annually while supplying 5% of Taiwan’s electricity demand by 2029.
Siemens Energy will supply equipment and services for a 2,400MW gas-fired combined cycle power plant in Taiwan, replacing 1,800MW of coal capacity. The project includes four SGT6-9000HL gas turbines and auxiliary systems, designed for high efficiency and grid flexibility.
The facility, set to begin operations by late 2029, will generate nearly 14 billion kilowatt-hours annually, equivalent to 5% of Taiwan’s power supply. CO2 emissions per unit of electricity are projected to drop by 58% compared to existing coal units.
Siemens Energy has previously provided similar technology for combined cycle plants in Taiwan, supporting the country’s transition to cleaner energy sources.
