Background on Project

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

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

Construction began on unit 1 in May 2021. 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.
