This is the first LNG receiving terminal and regasification facility to be owned by Taipower, and Taiwan’s first LNG receiving and regasification facility to be owned by a company other than CPC Corporation (CPC).
The Taiwanese government has set a goal to increase gas-fired power generation to 50% by 2025, as part of its commitment to achieving transition to clean energy. This project will ensure a stable natural gas supply with 720 tph, which is enough to meet the demand of gas-fired power generating units 1 and 2 at the Taichung Power Plant, as well as units 4, 5, and 6 at Tunghsiao Power Plant.
CTCI Corporation will carry out detailed design, procurement, and supply of materials, construction, and installment, pre-commissioning, commissioning, and one-year operation and maintenance service in this EPCC contract.
The awarding of this contract is a sign of continued success for CTCI with regards to domestic LNG receiving terminal projects. Earlier this year, the company was also awarded an approximately NT$18.3 billion (US$623 million) EPCC contract to build CPC’s Third LNG receiving terminal at Guantang Industrial Area, Taoyuan.
