Plant Overview
Plant
Kuosheng Gas 2, like Kuosheng Gas 1, is located within the site of the (decommissioned) Second Nuclear Power Plant in Wanli District, New Taipei City, serving as a fuel-oil gas turbine reserve unit for emergency or peak demand.
核二Gas2 (Fuel Oil) currently reports a net generation of 0 MW across 1 unit(s), against an installed capacity of — MW.
Fuel-oil and diesel units can start up quickly but have a high fuel cost, so they mainly serve as peaking or emergency reserve capacity. They typically run few hours per year, coming online more often only when system reserve margins are tight or other units are down for maintenance or repairs.
Fuel oil was an important peaking source before gas infrastructure became widespread. As LNG terminals and gas units have come online, its share has shrunk substantially, and it now mainly serves as system reserve and peak-support capacity.
