Background
According to the Taipower website: "The project will involve installing two 800 MW ultra supercritical coal-fired units in the Changbin Industrial Park. They are scheduled for commercial operation in January and July 2018. As influenced by the schedule of an environmental assessment review, the progress of this project has stalled. At the end of December 2011, the project was 4.63 % complete."

According to Platts, Unit 1 will be completed in 2019 and Unit 2 in 2020.
