Datang Hexigten power station (大唐克什克腾旗发电厂) is a proposed 2,000-megawatt (MW) coal-fired power plant in Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, China.

Location

The map below shows the location of Keshiketeng (Heshigten) Banner, the approximate location where the plant would be built in Chifeng Prefecture, Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region.

Background on Project

In 2007, China Datang began the environmental impact assessment to build a two-unit coal-fired power plant with a total planned capacity of 2,000 MW in Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region.

Datang did set up a coal gasification plant in Keshiketeng Prefecture in 2010, and attempted to sell the plant to a subsidiary in 2014. However, there have been no reports of further activity to develop a 2,000 MW coal plant, and they appear to be shelved or abandoned.
