Background

CPC Corporation is planning a third LNG import terminal in the Guantang Industrial Area of northern Taiwan, in part to fuel the expansion of Taipower's Datan Power Plant. The terminal would have capacity of 3 mtpa and is planned for 2023. Its capacity may later be expanded up to 6 mtpa.

As of 2016 CPC had not yet bought land for the project and was still negotiating property prices. In March 2019 CPC announced that it would begin building the project by mid-2019 if it received the necessary permits and approvals.
