The Star Buck Power Corporation, established by the Tokyo Electric Power Company (TEPCO), Taiwan Cogeneration Corporation, and other shareholders, has commenced operations.

This power station was one of the 2005 Taiwanese government IPP projects for which Taiwan Cogeneration has acquired the bidding rights.

Construction took place from March 2007 in the Changhua Province located in the central part of Taiwan.

The plant is a gas-combined cycle power plant with a capacity of 490MW. All electricity generated is expected to be sold to the Taiwan Power Company, a governmental-affiliate, for a contractual 25-year period.

Besides this project, TEPCO has been participating in other overseas power generation projects and providing related consulting service by using the know-how and technology acquired through electricity business.

The company said that it will continue to focus on expanding its overseas business operations in order to sustain further growth and advancement for both its clients and the whole TEPCO group, in addition to supporting developing countries through the transfer of technology related to the electricity business.
