澎湖尖山

Chianshan Power Plant, located in Penghu County, is the principal power plant for Penghu's island grid. It relies mainly on fuel-oil units, and because Penghu's grid is not interconnected with Taiwan's main island grid, it must independently meet the county's electricity demand.

Jianshan Power Plant was built on a new site after the original Penghu Power Plant ran out of room to expand. Units 1 through 4 entered service in June 1990 at 10.443MW each, and Units 5 through 12 were added as demand grew, with all units fully installed by December 2002 for a total of 129.8MW, making it Taipower's largest diesel-fired power plant.

澎湖尖山 (Fuel Oil) currently reports a net generation of 42.6 MW across 1 unit(s), against an installed capacity of 129.8 MW (32.8% utilization).

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.

澎湖尖山(註4) is currently listed with the status "部分檢修".
