台中CC

Taichung CC refers to the combined-cycle gas turbine units added at Taichung Power Plant, sharing the coastal site in Longjing District, Taichung City with the plant's long-standing coal units. It reflects Taipower's policy of adding gas capacity alongside existing coal generation at the site.

台中CC (Natural Gas) currently reports a net generation of 1,549.4 MW across 2 unit(s), against an installed capacity of — MW.

Most gas units are combined-cycle (CC) plants that can start up and ramp output quickly, making them well suited to balancing intermittent wind and solar output. Taiwan's gas supply relies almost entirely on imported LNG with limited on-site storage days, so grid stability depends heavily on receiving-terminal capacity and shipping schedules.

Since the 2016 energy transition policy began, natural gas has been positioned as the bridge fuel replacing retiring nuclear and coal capacity, and it is now Taiwan's single largest source of generation. Flagship plants include Datan, Tongxiao, and Xingda. The pace of new LNG receiving-terminal construction (such as the "Third Terminal") is the key bottleneck for further expanding gas-fired capacity.

台中CC#2(註10) is currently listed with the status "新機組試俥".
