Background on Project
Ningxia Baota Group was planning a 2 x 350 MW power station in Xinjiang Autonomous Region. It started construction in 2011. By 2014, the plant was 60% completed.[3][4][5]
Progress on the power station stopped in 2016 due to lack of investment and dim market prospects. In January 2017, it was reported the plant was sponsored by a consortium led by Doof Holding Group and HNA Group, who said they plan to revive the project. The power plant is a captive one for a petrochemical project.[6]
As of January 2022, with no known developments in more than four years, the project is presumed shelved or cancelled.
Following a prolonged construction freeze that left the facility half-built and deserted, an administrative restructuring was launched in early 2025.
On February 8, 2025, a municipal state asset firm, Xinjiang Jinjian Electric Power Energy Co Ltd, was established to take over the idled 2×350 MW self-provided assets, receiving project land-use license public notices [7].
Updated environmental impact assessments published on May 7, 2025, confirm that existing on-site assets include a completed Unit 1 main body and a 40% completed Unit 2 configuration [8].
To advance the remaining civil packages, updated engineering design tenders were officially released on June 23, 2025 [9], following the receipt of renewed building environmental clearances issued by the regional Department of Ecology and Environment on June 20, 2025 [10].
