Background
For background on the original Chongqing Power Station, see the related wiki.
In 2013, Shenhua announced plans to build two additional coal-fired units (7 and 8), in a different location, with a total planned capacity of 1,320 MW.[2] The units received environmental clearance and began preparation work in 2015. The new location is at Guanba Town, Qijiang District.[3]
The two units started preliminary construction at the new location in October 2016, after receiving the DRC permit in April 2015.[4][5][6] The new location has drawn criticism since it is close to the World Natural Heritage Site Jinfo Mountain（金佛山世界自然遗产), which is 50km away.[7]
In November 2020 the project sponsor announced the reconstruction plan for the power station. Commissioning is planned for 2022.[8]
In April 15th, 2021, the construction for the smoke stack began.[9]
In December 2022, the first unit of the relocation and new construction project went into operation.[10]
Ownership
The plant was originally owned by Shenhua Group. On August 28 2017, China's State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission of the State Council (SASAC) announced that China Guodian Corporation and Shenhua Group will be jointly restructured. Shenhua Group will become China National Energy Investment Group and will absorb China Guodian Corporation. It will be the largest power company in the world by installed capacity, as well as the world's largest coal producer.[11][12] The merger was completed on November 28, 2017.[13]
