Background on Project
CPI is a proposed 2 x 660 MW coal-fired power station in the Xilingol coal base, to support the ultra-high voltage transmission line (UHL) from Xilingol to Taizhou, Jiangsu. The UHL Transmission line was approved by China's NDRC in December 2015.[1]
2016: Nationwide Restrictions Imposed on Development of Coal-Fired Power Capacity
On March 17, 2016, China's National Energy Administration (NEA) released the Coal Bubble Alert System, dubbed the ‘traffic light’ system, to crack down on the growing coal power overcapacity crisis. Inner Mongolia was deemed a "red light" region, meaning no new coal projects should be permitted. Therefore any further developments at the power station appear to be on hold or cancelled. For details, see China's 2016/2017 Restrictions on Development of Coal-Fired Power Capacity.
2019: Project revived
In September 2019 it was reported that an EIA had been submitted for the project.[2]
2020: Permit received and construction begins
The project received a permit to begin construction in March 2020.[3]
Construction began in August 2020.[4]
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.[5]
