The Talin Power Plant (Chinese: 大林發電廠; pinyin: Dàlín Fādiànchǎng) or Dalin Power Plant is a mix-generation power plant in Siaogang District, Kaohsiung, Taiwan.[1]

Fuel supply

The plant receives its coal supply for the fuel from Mainland China (48%), Indonesia (37%) and Australia (13%) to the adjacent Port of Kaohsiung and by conveyor to the plant from the port.

Future expansions

The plant generation units will be replaced by two 800 MW ultra supercritical units from the current existing low-efficiency units. The construction permit was given on 25 October 2011 by the Ministry of Economic Affairs and scheduled for commercial operation on 1 July 2016 and 1 July 2017 respectively.[2][3]
