Taipower, Taiwan’s state-run utility, has broken ground today on a 100 MW solar PV plant, which will be the largest on the island once complete.
The NT$6.2 billion (US$212 million) project is located at Changhua Coastal Industrial Park in central Taiwan, and has been sanctioned by Taiwan’s Ministry of Economic Affairs (MOEA).
Chunghwa Telecom, a local ICT specialist, will work with Taipower to build the solar plant and provide it with digital connectivity. The completed installation will cover 140 hectares and comprise 339,000 Taiwan-made solar modules.
