Background

The first two coal-fired units of Anwen Songzao power station, totaling 300 MW, were brought online in 2005.[1] The plant is owned by Chongqing Energy Investment Group.[2]

The first two units were retired in 2020.[3]

Description of Expansion

Chongqing Energy Investment said it was planning to build two additional coal-fired units at this plant, with a total planned capacity of 1,320 MW. The new units were approved in 2013 and by 2014 were under construction, and scheduled to be completed in 2016.[4]

Unit 3 began operating in November 2016, and was reported as supercritical.[5] Unit 4 began operating in January 2017.[6]
