*Action has been initiated to enter the data on this thermal power plan in Tne
Basic Encyclopedia.
The Hsin-yu Thermal Power Plant is being constructed on the east bank of
the Yuan River, approximately 16 nautical miles (nm) west of Hsin-yu (see Figure
2). The plant is about II nm west-northwest of the Hsin-yu Hydroelectric Power
Plant Chiang-kou.
The plant occupies an unsecured, irregular-shaped area about 2,100 by 1,300
feet. It is served by both road and rail.
Construction of the plant started between
when site preparation was first observed. Foo
generator hall were first observed in On the basis of construction
practice observed at power plants i n i n a , I T e current rate of construction
is maintained at the Hsin-yu plant, one boiler and one generator may be
operational by mid-1970.
