Background on Plant

Huxian power station began operating in 1957 in Hu County, Shaanxi Province. After 3 expansions, the total capacity reached 200 MW with 5 units. In the end of 2002, China Datang became its parent company, and continued working on its 4th expansion, known as Huxian-2 power station (大唐户县第二热电厂). The two new units with capacity of 300 MW each were brought online in 2005,[1] and had registered a new operating company as Datang Xi'an Huyi Thermal Power Company. (大唐西安鄠邑热电公司). The 5 older units were gradually retired till 2008. [2]

According to Platts, two more units totaling 600 MW, were completed in 2010. However, those units were not shown in photographs nor in web descriptions.[3][4]
