Background on Project

China Datang was planning to build a two-unit coal-fired power plant with a total capacity of 2,000 MW in Anhui Province.[1][2][3][4]

The project's Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) was published in January 2014.[5]

In 2015, the plant's EIA was rejected due to insufficient plans to reduce regional pollution; being in an environmentally-sensitive location; and having insufficient public participation. The planned capacity was listed as 2 x 660 MW.[6][7]

However, in the Anhui Province Power Development 13th 5-Year Plan published in May 2017, Chuzhou power station was listed as a start-construction project.[8]

As of July 2018, the power station was moving forward in a new location to avoid the problems with the original EIA.[9]

The plant was approved for construction in July 2020.[10]

In July 2021, it was agreed that Datang Anhui Power Generation Co., Ltd. and China Coal Xinji Energy Co., Ltd. would jointly fund the construction. The total investment of the project is about 5.24 billion yuan. Datang Anhui will invest about 802 million yuan in accordance with a 51% equity ratio.[11]

Bidding announcements for construction were reportedly released in late 2021.[12]

The plant reportedly began construction in May 2022.[13]
