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.
