BLACK & VEATCH AWARDED ENGINEERING DESIGN FOR MAJOR COMBINED CYCLE POWER DEVELOPMENT IN TAIWAN

BANGKOK, Thailand, March 9 (Bernama) -- Black & Veatch, a global leader in human critical infrastructure, has been selected by Formosa Heavy Industry Corporation (FHI) to deliver the full engineering design scope for a 2 × 1200MW H class combined cycle power plant being developed by the Mai-Liao Power Corporation (MPC) in the Mailiao area, Taiwan. This follows MPC being awarded a Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) in 2025. Upon completion, the plant will have the capacity to provide electricity for approximately 1.8 million homes and enhances the region’s generation efficiency, improves energy system resilience and supports industrial demand growth.

The prior 25-year term PPA of two coal-fired units expired in 2025 and the units will be dismantled as part of the new project. Black & Veatch is leading the region in the delivery of new gas-fired facilities with more than 160 GW of global combustion turbine experience and a track record of supporting clients in repurposing coal-fired assets.
