Background on Project
The project is proposed by Shenhua Group. In addition to producing electricity, the plant will provide heating to the surrounding area. According to Shaanxi officials, the commissioning of the power station will allow 20 coal-fired and 57 small gas boilers to be shut down.[1][2]
The power station is under construction.[3] It is planned for operation in 2018.[4]
Project suspended, then revived
July 2017: Plant postponed by government
In July 2017 China's National Energy Administration (NEA) postponed or halted 185 coal-burning units across 21 provinces, totaling nearly 107 gigawatts (GW). 114 coal units totaling 65 GW are postponed for consideration until after the end of the 13th 5-year plan, in 2020. In addition, 71 coal units totaling nearly 42 GW were halted indefinitely for regulation violations. NEA said its goal is to eventually suspend or halt 150 GW of coal capacity during the 13th 5-year plan (2016-2020).[5]
Fuping Cogen power station Units 1-2 are among the postponed coal-burning units.[5]
September 2017: Suspension lifted
After political negotiations, China's National Energy Administration (NEA) released an updated list of postponed and halted coal projects on September 26, 2017. The new list contained 151 units totaling 95 gigawatts (GW). Fuping Cogen power station was no longer on the list, suggesting the plant is not suspended.[6]

2018: Power station commissioned
Unit 1 was commissioned in February 2018.[7] Unit 2 was commissioned in August 2018.[8]
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 will be jointly restructured. Shenhua Group will become China National Energy Investment Group and will absorb China Guodian Corporation. It will be the largest power company in the world by installed capacity, as well as the world's largest coal producer.[9][10] The merger was completed on November 28, 2017.[11]
