Data provenance

The capacity and fuel fields on this page are source-record values from the upstream open dataset. They are useful for identification and ranking, but they have not been upgraded to a 2026 registry/GEM-location verified value.

In context: how this plant compares

At 10 MW, Penghu is below the median wind plant in Taiwan (14 MW). Technically it is described as Onshore. Its current lifecycle status is “Shelved” — so it is not yet, or no longer, generating at full output. Wind turbines convert moving air into electricity; output is variable and site-dependent, and modern turbines deliver some of the lowest-cost new generation on many grids.

Capacity comparison computed from the WRI Global Power Plant Database; fuel-type context is general engineering background.
