Background
Baoding cogen power station was founded in 1958. The first two units were commissioned in 1960 and units 6-7 in 1988. All seven units were retired between 2007 and 2008.[6] It is owned by China Datang.[7]
Units 8 and 9 were built in 2003. They were also called Baoding Huayuan Power Company. Units 10 and 11 were completed in 2008 and in a different location from other units. The four units, units 8-11, were all co-generating, supplying heat in the winter to the city of Baoding.[8]
Units 8 and 9 were retired in 2018 due to the bankruptcy of Baoding Huayuan Power Company after it failed to pay out billions of yuan in debt.[9]
Expansion
China Datang proposed to expand the power station by 2 x 350 MW units. One of the units (Unit 12) was permitted for construction by China's NRDC in December 2016, before its EIA was approved by the provincial environmental protection agency.[10][11] China Datang was planning to retire units 8 and 9 with a total capacity of 250 MW when the new unit was commissioned.[11]
Unit 13 was permitted for construction on May 31, 2019.[12] Units 12 and 13 were expected to be built next to units 10 and 11.
Based on a 2021 governmental document, the project may have been tasked with re-applying for approval of its energy-saving plan and coal consumption replacement plan due to the delay in entering construction. However, the company appeared to decide to move forward with building the units regardless.[13]
One article noted construction on the 2 x 350 MW expansion began in February 2022.[14] From satellite imagery, there were some signs of construction, including signs of a cooling tower and smoke stacks.
Unit 12 was listed on Hebei's key projects list in 2023.[15] Construction progress was reported throughout 2023, including the successful energization of the unit's auxiliary power system in August 2023,[16] the first synchronization of the turbine in December 2023,[17] and the unit's successful completion of a 168-hour full load trial operation on December 22, 2023, after which it entered commercial operation.[18]
Unit 13's construction progressed separately, with turbine cover completion in December 2023,[19] turbine speed stabilization in March 2024,[20] grid synchronization in March 2024,[21] and successful completion of the 168-hour trial on April 6, 2024.[22]
On August 6, 2025, a tender was issued for an EPC project to upgrade the units' industrial steam supply capacity.[23]
