Background
Xinyang power station is a four-unit coal-fired power plant with a total capacity of 1,920 MW. The plant was completed between 2001 and 2009, and is owned by China Datang (51%), Shaanxi Coal and Chemical Industry Group (48%), and Henan Investment Group (1%).[4]
2022: New proposal
In August 2022, a related 2 x 1,000 MW project was identified as a key project in Henan Province to "accelerate" the infrastructure construction and "stabilize" the economy (河南省全面加快基础设施建设稳住经济大盘重点项目).[5] Datang Xinyang Power Generation Co., Ltd. owns these two new units.
The Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) was up for public review in October 2022.[6]
In 2023, a construction ceremony was held and the first concrete was poured, though the project appeared stalled.[7]
Throughout 2024 and 2025, the project progressed through tendering for major equipment and construction contracts.[8][9] The first steel for Unit 1 was hoisted in March 2025, and the chimney structure was topped out in September 2025.[10][11]
In 2026, the generator stator and rotor were installed, and the turbine was assembled.[12][13]
