Background on Project

CPI is planning to build a coal-fired power plant with a total planned capacity of 700 MW in Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region.

The project was permitted in September 2016, and construction began in October 2016.

Nationwide Restrictions Imposed on Development of Coal-Fired Power Capacity

In January 2017 China's National Energy Administration issued guidelines recommending the suspension of over 100 planned and under-construction coal power projects in 13 provinces, including Baiyinhua Industrial. The projects are proposed for development after 2020.

For details, see China's 2016 Restrictions on Development of Coal-Fired Power Capacity.

2018: Construction revived

In May 2018 it was reported that construction had resumed on the power station.

2022: Operation

Unit 1 began operating in September 2022 and Unit 2 in October 2022.

Ownership

In July 2015, China Power Investment Corporation (CPI) and State Nuclear Power Technology Corporation (SNPTC) merged to become State Power Investment Corporation (国家电力投资集团), one of the five largest state-owned electricity producers in the People's Republic of China.
