Electricity generated by the power plant supplies the major load located in north of Taiwan.

On 29 July 2017, a transmission tower for the outgoing lines of the plant collapsed due to Typhoon Nesat which caused the electricity supply to Taiwan down by 4%.

The tower was reconstructed on 11 August 2017 and completed in the following day, which became the fastest power line reparation in the history of Taiwan.

On 13 August, the plant resumed its operation and reached its full generating capacity the day after.
