The Hsieh-ho Power Plant (traditional Chinese: 協和發電廠; simplified Chinese: 协和发电厂; pinyin: Xiéhé Fādiànchǎng) is an oil-fired power plant in Zhongshan District, Keelung, Taiwan.[4] The power plant is the only fully oil-fired power plant in Taiwan.
The construction of the power plant began in 1972.[5] The power plant started its operation after the commissioning of its first generation unit in January 1977.
