Background on Project

Huangling Coal Mining applied for environmental clearance to build a 2 x 660 MW coal plant in Huangling.[2] The EIA of the power plant was approved by the Shaanxi provincial EPA in September 2016.[3]

There were no further developments on the project until March 2019, when sponsor Huangling Coal Mining again discussed plans for the project.[4] As of March 2020 Huangling Coal Mining had completed the pre-feasibility study and was seeking environmental clearance.[5] The project was permitted in March 2020, with operation planned for 2023.[6][7]

Construction began on unit 1 in May 2021.[8] Unit 2 also appeared to be underway.

By October 2022, a second 2 x 1,000 MW phase was permitted. The first phase was still under construction.[9]

In May 2023, it was reported that construction of the first phase was nearly complete.[10] By the end of the same month, Unit 1 had begun operation.[11] In June 2023, Unit 2 also successfully connected to the grid and began operating.[12][13][14]
