Background on Project

Beixinyao power station is a proposed 2 x 1,000 MW coal plant in Ningwu County, sponsored by Datong Coal Mining Group. A tender notice for preparation of the pre-feasibility study was put out in February 2017.

In September 2020, a feasibility study meeting was held for the project. The power station was described with an updated capacity of 4 x 1,000 MW.

As January 2021, the feasibility study was reportedly approved.

In April 2021, Jinergy Holding Group and Zheneng Group were reportedly in discussions to cooperate on coal electricity projects, including Beixinyao power station.
