  • Permit(s): June 13, 2022, November 8, 2022, December 19, 2011

Background on Project

China Resources Power Holdings began leading a consortium building a two-unit coal-fired power plant with a total planned capacity of 2,000 MW in Zhejiang Province. The project was approved in 2009.[1]

In January 2014 it was reported that Unit 1 had gone into operation, having been built in less than 23 months. Unit 2 was expected to begin operation in April 2014.[2][3][4]

Proposed expansion

In June 2014, China Resources was seeking permits to expand the power by station by two ultra-supercritical units of 1,000 MW each.[5]

In 2021, with no developments on the units since their announcement in June 2014, plans appeared cancelled.

However, by 2022, the project was revived and Unit 3 received a permit in June 2022.[6][7][8]

Construction on Unit 3 reportedly began in October 2022.[9] Unit 4 was reportedly permitted on November 8, 2022.[10][11]

In March 2023, though previously thought to be further in development, bidding was underway for the development of Unit 3.[12] In June 2023, candidates were selected from the bidding process.[13] Construction of Unit 3 began in June 2023.[14][15]

In June 2023, bidding was announced for the environmental impact assessment of Phase II Unit 4.[16] Construction also reportedly began on Unit 4 in June 2023.[17][18]
