Ho-Ping Power Company

Ho-Ping Power Company (HPC) is a Taiwan-based independent power producer associated with the Ho-Ping Industrial Zone in Hualien County. Its principal operating asset is the Ho-Ping Power Plant in Xiulin Township, on Taiwan’s east coast. The company was established in 1997 and is described as Taiwan’s first privately operated coal-fired power producer. Its business is focused on generating electricity for Taiwan’s power system rather than selling consumer-facing electricity products under a conventional retail brand. HPC’s ownership is associated with Taiwan Cement Corporation and One Energy Holdings Limited. The plant operates in an industrial setting that also includes cement-related activities, creating an operational relationship between electricity generation and the wider Ho-Ping industrial complex. Existing descriptions of the facility identify an installed generating capacity of approximately 1,300 megawatts, although the company’s public-facing corporate information is limited in the supplied reference material. The company’s generation portfolio is centered on coal-fired electricity. Its role as an independent power producer places it alongside Taiwan Power Company’s broader electricity system, with output supplied into Taiwan’s grid rather than marketed directly to households as a branded utility service. The plant is therefore strategically significant for regional and system-level power supply, particularly because Hualien and Taiwan’s east coast have distinctive transmission and industrial-infrastructure requirements. HPC has participated in environmental governance initiatives promoted by Taiwan’s Ministry of Economic Affairs Energy Bureau and Environmental Protection Administration. These include greenhouse-gas inventory, verification, registration, and voluntary-reduction trial programs. Participation in these programs indicates that emissions accounting and verification have formed part of the company’s environmental-management activities, although the supplied sources do not establish specific emissions-reduction results or a transition away from coal. The company remains an operating power-generation enterprise. Its identity is primarily industrial and infrastructure-oriented: it provides bulk electricity through the Ho-Ping Power Plant and supports the energy needs of Taiwan’s electricity system. No reliable information was supplied about consumer products, executive leadership, financial performance, stock-market listing, or a current corporate website, so those fields are left unreported.

Ho-Ping Power Company was established in 1997 as a privately operated electricity-generation company in Taiwan. Its formation belongs to the development of Taiwan’s independent power producer sector, in which privately backed generation assets were created to supply electricity to the national power system alongside the state utility framework. HPC became associated with the Ho-Ping Industrial Zone in Hualien County, where its power station operates in proximity to major industrial facilities. The company’s principal asset is the Ho-Ping Power Plant in Xiulin Township. The facility is a coal-fired generating station and has been described in existing company summaries as having approximately 1,300 megawatts of installed capacity. The plant’s role is wholesale generation: it produces electricity for Taiwan’s grid rather than functioning as a conventional retail electricity brand. This makes HPC an infrastructure company whose importance is measured by generating capability, grid contribution, and operational continuity. HPC is connected with Taiwan Cement Corporation and One Energy Holdings Limited. The relationship with Taiwan Cement is also consistent with the industrial setting of the Ho-Ping complex, where cement production and power generation are located within the same broader development area. The supplied material does not provide a complete chronology of ownership changes, construction, commissioning, or later capital investment, so those details cannot be stated with confidence. Environmental reporting and emissions management became part of the company’s documented activities through participation in trial programs administered by Taiwanese authorities. HPC took part in the Greenhouse Gas Inventory and Verification Trial Plan promoted by the Energy Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs. It also participated in the Environmental Protection Administration’s greenhouse-gas registration, verification, and voluntary-reduction trial program. These initiatives concerned the measurement, verification, and registration of greenhouse-gas emissions and did not, on the supplied evidence, amount to a change in the plant’s basic coal-fired operating model. The company continues to be identified with the Ho-Ping Power Plant and with independent electricity generation in Taiwan. Publicly available information in the supplied references is brief and concentrates on the company’s corporate identity, ownership, plant location, generation activity, and environmental-program participation. There is insufficient source material to document a detailed executive history, financial record, major commercial campaigns, litigation history, or a complete sequence of plant upgrades.
