In June 1990, the first phase of the power plant was commissioned with four generation units with a total installed capacity of 10.4 MW. In March 1998, the Executive Yuan approved for the expansion of the power plant on Unit 5–12 with the total installed capacity of 11 MW. The construction of those eight generation units were completed in December 2002.{{cite web|url=https://www.taipower.com.tw/en/news_noclassify_info.aspx?id=4365&chk=fc0507b0-001e-4f6c-9ba3-7267d43836d5&mid=5525¶m=pn%3D1%26mid%3D5525%26key%3D|title=Chienshan Power Plant|website=Taipower|date=7 September 2020|access-date=3 November 2021}}
