The Bihai Power Plant (traditional Chinese: 碧海發電廠; simplified Chinese: 碧海发电厂; pinyin: Bìhǎi Fādiànchǎng) is a hydroelectric power plant in Xiulin Township, Hualien County, Taiwan.
After 15 years of preparatory and construction work, the power plant went into commercial operation on 10 December 2011.
[3] The power plant was established from the construction of concrete gravity dam at an altitude of 545 meters along the Hoping River basin in Hualien County.
An intake valve was built connecting the dam with a 6,549 meter long headrace tunnel to Bihai Power Plant located at the downstream side at an altitude of 100 meters where a vertical Pelton turbine of 61.2 MW is installed.
The power plant will open the floodgate to release excessive water during high river intensity to prevent the buildup of sediment.
