Project-level coal details
- Coal source(s): domestic
Background
Dalate power station is a 3,180 MW coal-fired power station in Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, owned by China Huaneng. The plant's existing eight units were completed between 1995 and 2007:[5]
- Units 1-4 (330 MW each, subcritical) - operating 1995
- Units 5-6 (330 MW each, subcritical) - operating 2004
- Units 7-8 (600 MW each, supercritical) - operating 2007
Proposed expansion
China Huaneng has proposed adding a Units 9 & 10 at the power station, totaling 2,000 MW (1,000 MW each).[6][7][8]
Plans for the expansion appeared cancelled in the wake of China's traffic light policy. The policy, first issued in 2016, limited coal plant development in certain regions, including Inner Mongolia. (For more information, see China's Restrictions on Development of Coal-Fired Power Capacity.)
However, the traffic light policy was loosened in February 2020 and Inner Mongolia was issued a green light for coal plant development. In March 2020, plans for the project were revived.[9] In April 2020, Unit 9 completed a pre-feasibility report.[10] In May 2020, unit 9 was permitted for construction. It is planned for operation in 2022.[11]
Construction on Unit 9 reportedly began in May 2022[12] and progress steadily.[13][14] Unit 9 achieved its first boiler ignition in May 2024[15][16], followed by successful turbine speed control in June 2024[17][18], grid connection in June 2024[19]. The completion of the 168-hour trial run happened in July 2024[20].
In June and July 2026, a series of tenders were issued for the feasibility study[21][22], environmental impact assessment[23], and access system report[24][25] for the replacement expansion project Unit 10.
In 2023, major equipment and construction progressed. Unit 9 achieved boiler ignition in May 2024, turbine spin in June 2024, grid connection in June 2024, and completed its 168-hour trial run in July 2024[26].
In February 2026, feasibility study bidding began. In March 2026, the feasibility study contract was awarded. In April 2026, access system report bidding began. In June 2026, EIA report bidding was awarded, and access system report bidding was announced. In July 2026, feasibility study review bidding was announced[27].
