GE Vernova has successfully brought the first 1.3-GW unit of the Hsinta Power Plant in Kaohsiung, Taiwan, online, marking a significant milestone in the country's energy transition. The plant, operated by Taiwan Power Co., is gradually shifting from coal to natural gas for power generation, with the goal of achieving nearly 4 GW of generation capacity by next year. GE Vernova's 7HA.03 gas turbines, featuring hydrogen-cooled generators, are at the core of this transformation, offering enhanced efficiency and flexibility. This transition aligns with Taiwan's Renewable Energy Development Act and its policy of reducing reliance on coal and nuclear power in favor of cleaner energy sources. The partnership between GE Vernova, Taiwan Power Co., and CTCI Corp. has been crucial in the successful commissioning of the first combined-cycle block, showcasing a commitment to sustainable energy solutions. The Hsinta plant's design, featuring advanced technology for faster startup and adjustability in energy production, underscores its importance in supporting power grid stability and the integration of renewable energy resources. GE Vernova's focus on reducing carbon emissions is reflected in the plant's design, with the capability to burn up to 50% hydrogen blended with natural gas. The project not only contributes to Taiwan's energy goals but also enhances its technological capabilities, especially in the semiconductor production sector, by providing a reliable and environmentally friendly power supply.
