It phased out electricity generation at the Jinshan Nuclear Power Plant in New Taipei City’s Shihmen District (石門) in 2019, at the Guosheng Nuclear Power Plant in New Taipei City’s Wanli District (萬里) in 2023 and at Ma-anshan on May 17 last year. Fuel oil, pumped hydro and the final few months of nuclear power from Ma-anshan accounted for the rest, the data showed. In November last year, the government said that Taipower was expected to submit plans to reopen the Guosheng and Maanshan plants.
