Background on Project
In 2014, CPI's Guizhou Jinyuan Group was planning for a coal-fired power station of two 660 MW units.[1] The feasibility study was completed in 2014.[2] Operation is planned for 2017. Long-term plans call for a total of six 660 MW units.[3]
With no news or announcements about the project between 2014 and 2022, the project appeared to be cancelled.
However, a May 2023 news article reported that the Weining Power Plant of two ultra-supercritical 660 MW units (威宁电厂2×660) had its feasibility study reviewed and approved by expert reviewers.[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]
