8 supply centers, one transfer center and 50 distribution stations along its length. Current plans are centered on the goal of constructing interlocking ring-shaped networks to produce a figure-8 configuration; this will involve laying down a 238-kilometer undersea pipeline from the Yongan LNG Terminal to Tongxiao and a 500-kilometer terrestrial pipeline onwards from Yongan to Taoyuan. In addition, after the 36-inch undersea gas pipeline from the Taichung LNG plant to the Datan power station has come on stream, it will be linked with terrestrial pipelines in central and northern Taiwan to form another circular formation-thus completing the planned island-wide, integrated figure-8 natural gas transmission network.
Active expansion and assuring secure gas supply
Complying the government policies for phasing out nuclear power plants and creating an environmental-friendly, low carbon environment, CPC plans to set up four gas-fired generating units in Datan Power Station. To generate abundant energy for Datan Power Station, commodity sectors in the north and other customers of the power station, CPC plans to set up the third LNG terminal in Kuantang Industrial Centre, comprising reception facilities which can hold up to 3 million metric tons of import quantum, two LNG storage tanks each of 160 thousand-kiloliter capacity; gasification and gas supply facilities to connect with the existing gas supply system.
CPC’s Third LNG Terminal project got under way in 2016 and is currently scheduled to come on stream in October 2022. Otherwise CPC gets on with Third LNG Terminal phase II expansion project(planning to build six 180 thousand-kiloliter above-ground storage tanks, a second LNG- unloading wharf and gasification facilities) in Third LNG Terminal offshore reclamation areas. The overall project is expected to be completed by the end of 2030. At that point, with the three terminals-one in each of northern, central and southern Taiwan-supplying natural gas to users in their respective areas, there should be some reduction in the cost and risk of transmitting gas over long distances-in that figure-8 combined undersea and terrestrial gas pipeline network will enhance the safety and stability of gas supply through its transfer and backup functions. Completion of this third LNG receiving terminal project will enable CPC to construct and operate national level natural gas supply system that is fully-functional, stable and safe.
Global arrangement, stabilization of gas supply
CPC has devoted considerable effort to diversifying its LNG sources to ensure a reliably stable supply of natural gas for Taiwan. The source of imports includes the Middle East, the Asia-
