Background

Pingwei-I and Pingwei-II

The first four coal-fired units of Pingwei power station, totaling 2,540 MW, were brought online between 1989 and 2007.[2] The plant was originally owned by CPI.[3][4][5]

Pingwei-III

CPI planned Pingwei-III, consisting of two additional coal-fired units, with a total planned capacity of 2,000 MW. The project was approved by the National Development and Reform Commission in February 2013, and construction began shortly thereafter. The new units are scheduled to be completed in 2015.[6]

Unit 1 of the expansion began operation in June 2015,[7] and unit 2 in September 2015.[8]

Pingwei-IV

In March 2020, two additional 1,000 MW units at the power station (Pingwei-IV) were listed as a priority project for Anhui province, as part of a UHV power hub in the Yangtze River Delta.[9]

The expansion was permitted by November 17, 2022.[10][11]

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.[12]
