Background

The two existing coal-fired units of Ma'anshan Dangtu power station, totaling 1,320 MW, were brought online in 2008. The plant is owned by China Datang.[1][2]

Description of Expansion

Datang is planning to build two additional coal-fired units at this plant, with a total planned capacity of 2,000 MW.[1][3][4]

China Datang opened bidding for the project's construction contract in July 2014.[5]

The project was listed in the Anhui Province Power Development 13th 5-Year Plan as a back-up project, released in May 2017.[6]

As of December 2019 there has been no progress on the units, and they appear to be abandoned.

2016: Nationwide Restrictions Imposed on Development of Coal-Fired Power Capacity

Due to new restrictions announced during 2016 by the National Energy Administration and the National Development and Reform Commission, further capacity expansions at this location appear to be on hold or cancelled. For details, see China's 2016 Restrictions on Development of Coal-Fired Power Capacity.
