Da-Guan Hydropower Plant, Hydroelectric facility in He-Ping District, Taichung City, Taiwan.
The Da-Guan Hydropower Plant contains three Francis turbines manufactured by Hitachi, positioned 270 meters below the reservoir dam in a subterranean generating station.
Initial studies for the plant started in 1934 during Japanese rule, but construction halted due to World War II before resuming in 1946 under Taiwanese administration.
The facility demonstrates Taiwan's commitment to renewable energy development, reflecting the transformation from colonial infrastructure to national energy independence.
The three turbines generate 234,000 kilowatts of total capacity, producing approximately 360 million kilowatt-hours of electricity annually for regional distribution.
The plant operates through a 167-meter head differential between the reservoir's maximum water level and intake, channeling water through underground tunnels.
