  • The new generating unit signifies a shift towards replacing coal-fired units, contributing to a 60% reduction in emissions at the plant and aligning with Taiwan's environmental objectives.
  • With additional blocks set to come online by 2026, the plant's total capacity will reach 4GW, benefiting households and industries in Taiwan.
  • GE Vernova's technology allows for the burning of up to 50% hydrogen, showcasing a commitment to reducing carbon emissions and promoting cleaner energy sources.
GE Vernova has announced the commencement of operations for the first block at the Hsinta power plant in Taiwan, delivering 1.3GW of electricity to the country's energy grid. Powered by GE Vernova's 7HA.03 combined cycle equipment, this block is part of a strategic move to phase out coal-fired units at the plant, with a goal of reducing emissions by 60%. The plant's total power capacity is expected to reach 4GW once all blocks are operational, significantly benefiting both residential and industrial consumers in Taiwan. By incorporating hydrogen-cooled generators and heat recovery steam generators, the plant aims to enhance efficiency and reduce carbon emissions. GE Vernova's technology also allows for the use of up to 50% hydrogen in the gas turbine, contributing to cleaner energy production. This initiative aligns with Taiwan's environmental goals and signifies progress towards sustainable energy practices. GE Vernova's collaboration with CTCI Corporation and its commitment to infrastructure development have played a crucial role in Taiwan's energy sector. The company's innovative solutions are projected to generate over 10GW of power by 2026, powering millions of homes in Taiwan. Additionally, GE Vernova's recent partnership with Uniper in the UK highlights its global presence in advancing energy efficiency and decarbonization.
