History
The first two units of the power plant were commissioned on 20 July 1982. On 17 November 1989, the 3rd unit of the plant went into operation and on 3 May 1993, the fourth, fifth and sixth units went into operation. After the Tashan Power Plant in Jincheng Township went into operation in October 2000, Hsiahsing Power Plant was used for military purpose.[1] In May 2020, an energy storage system was built for the plant, which consists of 1 MWh lithium-ion battery, 2 MW power conditioner, energy management system and environment management system.[2]
