Background on Project

Lecheng Group has proposed a 2 x 350 MW supercritical coal plant in Kucha, Aksu.

Nationwide Restrictions Imposed on Development of Coal-Fired Power Capacity

In January 2017 China's National Energy Administration suspended over 100 planned and under-construction coal power projects with a total capacity of over 100GW in 13 provinces, including Fuchen Kucha. It is unclear when or if the projects will be revived.

For details, see China's 2016 Restrictions on Development of Coal-Fired Power Capacity.

With no developments since proposed in 2015, the project appears to be cancelled.
