Events
[edit | edit source]2017
[edit | edit source]On 29 July 2017, a transmission tower for the outgoing lines of the plant collapsed due to Typhoon Nesat which caused the electricity supply to Taiwan down by 4%. The tower was reconstructed on 11 August 2017 and completed in the following day, which became the fastest power line reparation in the history of Taiwan. On 13 August, the plant resumed its operation and reached its full generating capacity the day after.[4][5]
On 15 August 2017, the plant tripped due to the breakdown of one of its generator causing a loss of 650 MW power generation.[6]
On 23 August 2017, a furnace pipe of generator no. 2 broke, causing a drop in electricity generation.[7]
Transportation
[edit | edit source]Hoping Power Plant is accessible within walking distance North East from Heping Station of Taiwan Railway.
