Taipower and Chinese Petroleum signed a 25 year contract in July 2003 for fuel supply to the Tatan power plant, which will need 1.68 million tonnes of LNG a year once all its generators come on line.
Taipower operates 17 gas-fired generators that have a total capacity of 6,100 megawatts, about 18 percent of Taiwan's installed electricity capacity.
Chinese Petroleum supplies natural gas to these plants on an annual-contract basis, Lee Jiin-tyan said.
