Background

The power station is part of the China Coal Guangyuan Coal-electricity Integration Project, intending to strengthen the Sichuan provincial electricity supply[8].

The feasibility study of the project was passed in April 2023[9].

On 20 July 2023, Sichuan Province Development and Reform Commission granted the project a permit (Chuan Fa Gai Neng Yuan〔2023〕No.366) to build, making it the first permitted coal-fired power station since the 13th Five-Year-Plan in Sichuan province.[10][11][12][13][14]

The first concrete was poured on 15 May 2024.[15] Unit 1 boiler steel hoisting began in November 2024. By March 2026, the unit was in the commissioning phase, targeting commercial operation by 28 June 2026.[16]

Unit 2 heat treatment tenders were issued in 2025. It's currently under construction with expected completion after Unit 1.
