Background
Chaozhou Sanbaimen power station is a four-unit coal-fired power plant with a total capacity of 3,200 MW in Guangdong Province. The first two units, totaling 1,200 MW, were completed in 2006. Units 3 & 4, totaling 2,000 MW, were completed in 2009-2010. The plant is owned by China Datang.[5][6][7]
In December 2022, plans for a 2 x 1,000 MW expansion at the plant were announced in the Guangdong provincial 14th Five Year Plan and the permission to build was granted on 13 April 2023 (Yue Fa Gai He Zhun〔2023〕No.8)[8]. Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) report[9] and land use[10] have been approved by the local government.
The 2×1000 MW expansion held an opening ceremony in June 2023 and received EIA approval in 2023.[11] Major equipment tenders were issued in 2024‑2025. First concrete was poured on 28 September 2024, marking the official start of construction.[12] Unit 5 boiler steel was erected in December 2024, and by June 2026 the chemical water system was producing desalinated water. Unit 5 is under construction.
Unit 6 boiler foundation was 80% complete by December 2024.
