The Linkou Power Plant (traditional Chinese: 林口發電廠; simplified Chinese: 林口发电厂; pinyin: Línkǒu Fādiànchǎng) is a coal-fired power plant in Linkou District, New Taipei, Taiwan.[3] With the previous total installed capacity of 600 MW,[4] the power plant used to be the smallest coal-fired power plant in Taiwan. The power plant is currently undergoing retrofitting to increase its installed generation capacity to 2.4 GW.
