Taipower launches TWD 7.7 billion tender for transmission line project

Taiwan Power Company, operating through its Southern Region Construction Office Department of Transmission Line & Substation, has issued a TWD 7.7 billion tender for the civil engineering design and construction of an underground transmission line connecting Hsinta Power Plant to the Southern Taiwan Science Park.

Taiwan Power Company, through its Southern Region Construction Office Department of Transmission Line & Substation, has announced an open tender valued at TWD 7.7 billion for civil engineering design-build works on an underground transmission line connecting the Hsinta Power Plant to the Southern Taiwan Science Park in Taiwan. Taiwan Power Company is a state-owned electric power utility responsible for power generation, transmission, and distribution across Taiwan. Operating as a specialized construction unit under Taiwan Power Company, the Southern Region Construction Office manages high-voltage transmission infrastructure expansion across southern Taiwan.

Under the scope of work for the Hsinta Power Plant to Southern Taiwan Science Park Underground Transmission Line Civil Engineering Design-Build Project (Section 1a), the selected contractor will execute comprehensive engineering design and civil construction required to build the underground cable transmission route. The project entails advanced tunneling, conduit laying, civil infrastructure development, and site restoration works designed to integrate high-voltage power transmission systems into the regional grid.

This major development highlights Taiwan's proactive investment in energy supply security and grid modernization to support its expanding semiconductor and advanced technology manufacturing ecosystems. By routing high-voltage transmission lines underground, the utility mitigates environmental risks, reduces vulnerability to extreme weather events, and ensures stable electrical capacity for critical industrial hubs located within the Southern Taiwan Science Park.

The initiative directly impacts engineering, procurement, and construction contractors, civil engineering firms, tunneling specialists, and power utility supply chains operating across East Asia. For commercial entities and investors, this project signals strong public infrastructure capital deployment toward grid resilience, opening significant commercial opportunities for large-scale engineering consortia and advanced power equipment manufacturers.
