Chunghwa Telecom Co (中華電信) on Friday announced it has been awarded a NT$58 billion (US$1.93 billion) contract by state-run Taiwan Power Co (Taipower, 台電) to build a solar power plant with a capacity of 100 megawatts, which would be the largest of its kind in Taiwan.

The solar power plant is to be located in Changhua Coastal Industrial Park (彰濱工業區), Chunghwa Telecom said in a statement, adding that the project is to cover about 140 hectares.

The plant is expected to be ready for a trial run after about 15 months of construction, the company said, adding that the whole project is to be completed in 2019.

Wang Hui-min (王惠民), president of the company’s southern Taiwan business group, said in the statement that Chunghwa Telecom has been developing solar, wind and biogas energy since 2015, in line with the government’s policy of promoting the development of “green” energy in Taiwan.    [FULL  STORY]
