Background on Plant

Datong-2 power station is a ten-unit coal-fired power station totaling 3,720 MW. It was built from 1984 to 2009. It was originally majority-owned by China Guodian. Units 1-3 of Datong-2 totaling 600 MW were retired in 2020, leaving 3,120 MW operating.

Ownership

On August 28 2017, China's State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission of the State Council (SASAC) announced that China Guodian Corporation and Shenhua Group would be jointly restructured. Shenhua Group became China National Energy Investment Group and absorbed China Guodian Corporation. It became the largest power company in the world by installed capacity, as well as the world's largest coal producer. The merger was completed on November 28, 2017.
