Taiwan Power Co (Taipower) will soon submit a plan to restart the decommissioned Ma-anshan Nuclear Power Plant in Hengchun, Pingtung County, Taiwan, with the objective of having it start to generate electricity by 2028.

Minister of Economic Affairs Kung Ming-hsin said that a safety inspection of the plant is underway and that the government has signed a contract with Westinghouse to check the state of the plant’s generators. He said that if the equipment is in good condition and not too much needs to be replaced, the plant could be operational before 2028.
